I don't have any pH downs and my bottled water is 7.5 pH. Is there any way that i can reduce it with lemon juice or vinegar? If so, how many ml to 1 L of water?

Hello yes you can use both vinegar is acetic acid so you can and lemon juice works too. Citric acid but you have to be careful with doses. Finally you want to raise ph you can use baking soda if you put too much vinegar or lime. The best stay to buy a bottle of ph down because there is components which regulate and stabilize your Ph. So you can do it yourself or buy a bottlle. Good luck brother. Bye

Heythere, you can safely use alcohol vinegar, as acidophilus gardeners do, add 1 ml/litre and solution Ph will down from 7.5 to 7.2. Repeat until the desidered value. Be very gradual in the administration, avoid severe Ph fluctuations.

Vinegar. It is strong and dies evaporate. So not a stable option for long. I would not use lemon juice due to the citric acid. A phosphorus ph down is ideal. Good luck and happy growing 🌱
