pH Down suggestions
UncleOrganic95started grow question 4 years ago
Any suggestions for a natural, safe and effective pH down? Lemon juice? Vinegar?

I tried bio ph down but it was a fail, those you named have weak acidity (you need lot of lemon juice to lower ph significantly) and are highly unstable just because the bio part breaks down and fade creating a slimy film of biomass.
I found out that minerals ph down are way better, I’m now using sulfuric acid but you have plenty to choose from.

You can't get anything that isn't "natural".. If it wasn't it'd be "supernatural", and we all know such things don't exist.
"PH Down" is pretty cheap, and it'll work better than vinegar and stuff like that...

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm
