Hey, what you could do is borrow a pH meter and measure how much pH- (ml) you need to lower it to the desired value (5.5 to 6.5) depending on the phenological stage. All this in 1L. Summary: in 1L of water, add the amount of ml of pH- and note it down. Next time, you just have to do the same and you avoid measuring.

I always use lemon, but if I could calculate it, I would use citric acid in mg..

if you know the ph of water, then you can adjust it without a ph meter. I have it, but I don’t use it because I already know by heart how many liters of water how many ph down i need. I use Ph Down from General Hydroponics. I also have 7 ph from the tap and for 10 liters of water you need 3 mlg ph down to make it 6.2

If all you're doing is flushing the plant prior to harvest, pH is not going to matter... Vivosun is cheap and fairly reliable .... but only the rich can afford to buy cheap things because they have the money to keep replacing whatever cheap thing they've bought. Good luck!
