When in doubt, pitch more. You might want to check out this method I recommend before you proceed: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/fast-souring-modern-methods.670176/

The shots are much more likely to not affect the flavor of the beer as opposed to a full carton. Preacidify to 4.3 using acid and let the lacto drive it down to 3.3 (24-48hrs)
