This is what I opened to where do I start?

Start raising the PH as soon as possible. Keep adding borax or soda ash, or PH Up until you get the PH to at least 7.0. That may take a lot more than you expect because your PH is most likely way below 6.8 and the test simply can't measure down that low.

Well I started by adding 6 cups how long should I wait to test again?

 

[duraleigh]

30 minutes to an hour between doses is long enough for borax or soda ash.

with these results how much borax should i be adding???If i change the t/a to 0 it changes the equation..I have added 4 lbs plus 3 cups out of another box..

I think you should just keep adding borax and testing after 30-60 minutes until your pH comes up.
Add a pound (which should raise pH by 0.23) and test. If still not up, add another pound and test.

Your TA is a little low. Id' raise it to about 80 ppm.

Other than that, just keep it at shock level as often as you can.
