Cheap PH down?

smokeyspartacusstarted grow question 5y ago

Is it just me or is GHE/AT PH Down very diluted? I started with gGrowth Technology which is 81%. TA PH down has nothing stated on the bottle... What do you use as the cheapest way to get PH down in circulating hydroponics/DWC?

Not sure if it works with hydro/DWC but citric acid is a cheap pH down. It’s water soluble so I’d imagine it be ok. Worked great for my organic grows.

Watering in Super CoCo Hey there fellow growers! So I’ve been trying to figure out the best watering schedule and volume 🧐I’ve been told to always water with runoff, go by weight, top inch dry, etc. I guess my main question is runoff necessary when watering in Super CoCo? All advice appreciated!🌱
