What is the best PH down solution?
bagofbunnysanswered grow question 3 years ago
Hi Guys - there seems to be a host of problems that occur when you use vinegar and other simple household products. Some people have been reporting bio films and sludge as a result of my reading the forums on the web I decided to go with a standardized Phosphoric acid product from Nutri + and it seems to work very well for my needs!

I wouldn't use sodium bicarb for ph up. I'd much rather use calcium, magnesium, potassium.
For ph down you got a bunch of optics, ascetic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, sugars, etc.

Distilled vinegar for PH down and bicarbonate of soda for PH up. Buying marketed acid doesn't make sense when any acid will do. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

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

Nutirents for hard waterQuestion regarding the correct fertilizer amount. Advanced Nutrients. If my water already has a high EC of 0.75 I use less base fertilizer (Bloom A+B). But do I also reduce the amount of additives like Voodoo Juice and Sensizym, etc? Is there anyone here with experience with AN?Feeding. Chemical composition
