You can use vinegar or citric acids, only problem with those sources is there not stable, meaning if you use them to lower your ph it will creep back up again. Best to use ph down. One bottle goes a long way. Cheers friend

Yeah as said a bit of lemon wil do the trick but do try get hold of PH down. You only dilute a few drops of the bottle before adding to feed and it lasts you a while.

Plant still green after flushing It's day 8 of my flush and the plant is still green, did i mess something up? I flushed it with 10L of tap water and 5 L of ph'D water to around 6.3 pH. I measured EC of the run off and it measures the same μS of the water that went in, maybe varies here and there by 0.1μS.

From clones.. A few weeks in, plant on bottom right doesn't appear to be rooting and is wilting.At a glance, does anyone have any advice for this grow? I am using miracle grow performance organics for soil, two full spectrum 30w LEDs, grow tent is 3x3x10-12. The plant on the bottom right does not seem to be rooting. The rest to my eyes look okay, but wanted advice.

Hey Guys, So I've been putting house and gardens amino treatment and root accelerator gold into my res and now I'm paranoid I have root rot. res is hella cold at 63 usually and they don't seem to be slimy aside from the gunk on them that I think is those additives. Is it normal?

DWC water change or NOT?DWC - The DWC smells good, there are no signs of rot or foul smells - I use 3% H202. I keep the temps under 22. The plants are doing great. Should I just add in my flowering nutrients and let it keep running, or should I disinfect and do a full change? Thanks in advance!
