PH down

the_bushdoctorstarted grow question 5y ago

Hello everyone, I have a question on cation exchange. I want to use hydrochloric acid as a PH down. However I want to know how this will affect my plant. In water the chloride ions create the acidic environment however I do not know what will happen in soil and nutrient uptake.

That I wouldn't do. If need a cheap pH down solution use 🍋 lemon juice. 1tbsp:1gal = 1point.

Hey friend, I was also facing with high pH soil and high pH run off.But I don’t use any pH down solution or hydrochloric acid.I use coconut water and egg shell with vinegar(Protect from bloosom end root and calcium deficiency).They have so many benefits for your plant.I always adjust my water pH to 5.5~6.5 with those two above whenever I water and I don’t having any problems after that even though my run off pH still around 7.0.Before it was 7.7~8.4.Hope it will help.Happy Growing.. ✌️

Why is my PH possessed?Why is my PH refusing to go down from 9s to 6 unless I quadruple the normal amount of apple cider vinegar to 12ml? Normally 3ml does the job. This week, ml somehow doesn't move the needle. The EC is a little higher, could that be it? The RO is normal starting at 8, this week 10+

I stopped giving my plants Plagron Silic Rock from mid last week (week 13, week 5 flower). Can anybody tell me if I did right to cut it in flower or does anybody has experience using this nute until the end of their grow? I think this nute is just for veg and early flower.

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.
