Please don't. Use a weak acid. (Vinegar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice or citric acid all work to drop ph and baking soda is a cheap way to bring it up

That stuff is super acidic ph of 1. I would not use it. Like Fruitgrower said use vinegar. Vinegar is super cheap.

Not sure about sodium hydrogen sulfate but you can use lemon juice or vinegar, just drop by drop, stir, leave to settle and test again 🌱👍

PPMs are running high during germination My PPMs are reading 600 in the DWC reservoir, which seems high. Tap water reads 380 normally. Doing a top feed system so the roots will reach the top feed tube in about 2 days if they germinate. Should I do a complete res change or just top up with pH'd RO/distilled water?

Anyone know about biobizz TopMax? (Just read this)Once the solution is made, do not add pH up/down to correct the pH. Firstly, peat based mixes are buffered for pH so this is not necessary.
