I love that chemistry lesson, super in depth. Also in living soil, I never pH anything, KNF balances it all. Just to mention that I think pH is best for hydroponics, which I think is super troublesome. Especially when you see how many people have nute lock issues and all kinds of problems. To each their own, but go 10 gallon or larger, do living soil, reuse soil. Drop mic, because you never will pH anything anymore, unless your water quality is trash, but start with RO and go from there. Many answers look great, but keep it simple my guy

ph swings happen due to poorly buffered products.. not the acid you use.. and it's not from evaporation. sorry, just trying to stop spread of infor that is not true. all you have to do is look at teh evaporation point of acetic acid (which is what you'll find in various "ph-down" products along with citric acid, but you'll pay 10x the price for it, bwahaha instead of 3 usd for 3=gallon jug that'll last you a decade using 2-3mL at at time.) BP aceitac acid -- 118C which is higher than the water it is in solution with. it evpaorates more slowly than water. https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Acetic-acid#section=Boiling-Point ph balance is about active H+ ... or an easier way is a resulting h30+ : oh- ratio in the solution. When an acide dissolves it disassociates into anions and cations.. take "H2SO3" or sulfuric acid. You'll get 2 H+ ions floating around and so3-2 .. this is why it's a strong acid because it's donating 2 h+ per molecule dissolved which will happily go in and out of binding with h2o creating some average amount of H3O. for every 10:1 ratio of h30 to oh it's 1 on the ph scale 1:1 = 7 (doesn't matter if 10000000000 molecules or 1 .. this is where buffering comes in though.. the ratio may equate to a paticular pH but the numbers invovled are high so it is difficult to cause a ph swing) 10:1 would b 6 ph (pf 10 h30+: 1 oh- floating around in solution (again, this is a constant revolving door but averages out to a consistent value when well-buffered) 100:1 would be 5 1000:1 would by 4 10,0000:1 would be 3 and so on.. (vice versa for oh- : h30 in opposite direction above 7) a weak or stong acid does not cause ph-swings.. that's not what "weak" is referencing.. it simply causes less h+ activity. how to and why for buffering: this is why ph swings.. primarily because the manufactures of many pot-branded fertilizers are utterly trash products, lol, sold at a premium to people that would rather pay that extra price than admit tehy don't know something when confronted with better knowledge... https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry_Textbook_Maps/Supplemental_Modules_(Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry)/Acids_and_Bases/Buffers/Introduction_to_Buffers don't overpay for basic acids and bases... they are ubiquitous and there are no quality differences that matter... little stronger just means you add less of it, but really it's adding more per pound, so on the level that matters, it's not adding "less" it's adding what is needed with a smaller volume accomplishign same thing.

should use white distilled vinegar or citric acid is another option... this will not change flavor of your weed in any way. The reason i recommend keeping a acid used to ph-balance simple is because there is less likely an adverse reaction with other stuff you use... Something used to ph-balance is better if that's all it does... leave the fertilizers and beneficial to provide what you want to add. keep it simple(r). probably won't have any adverse reactions... might attract ants and other bugs if it's sugary.. could also help feed microbes in substrate (neither good or bad on its own, and it completely depends on existing microbes). Definitely won't transfer and rasberry properties to your weed... neither will molasses or any other sugary product. plant won't use those types of sugars at all from what i know.

Hola hay productos diseñados para bajar el ph. No me arriesgaria con vinagre, aparte modifica mucho la ec de tu agua. Con dos gotas de un producto ph- va aser mucho mas eficiente y confiable suerte

Took me a sec to find Its not on rasp flav vin but regardless its vin. So, I wouldn't risk it no. If vin isn't ideal I can for sure say. Flvoured vin would be something I wouldn't chance. Biobizz PH - is good and organic. https://autoflowering-cannabis.com/vinegar-for-water-ph-down-weed/

Hey there! So you can use that with some toasted egg shells to extract the calcium, use 2mL/L Also you can use it as a cleanser and for balance when using a fermented plant juice or a fermented fruit juice. Green leafy ferments during veg, unripe fruit ferments at preflower, ripe fruit ferments during flower, and overly ripe fruit ferments last two weeks of flower before harvest. For the ferments add one part sugar, one part plants, in glass jar, cover with paper towel and rubber band. Leave in a dark area for 2 to 5 days, depending on temperature. Then pour off liquid and keep covered in glass jar in the refrigerator. Use 2mL/L then slowly increase up to 5mL/L. You can brew an awesome compost tea with those ferments. Be sure to add your vinegar as a balance for any sugar ferments. Welcome to Korean Natural Farming ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 It's well studied and you can find endless information and well researched info on the subject. Check out some of my previous weeks, I show some pictures of what it looks like to ferment aloe and other goodies. It's very easy and doesn't take but a few minutes each week to make a ferment or two. Very easy application as well. Also larger living soil containers help with this type of farming. Always hit me up, or anyone on here for questions. You are not alone and we have your back. There are a lot of ways to grow your medicine, this is clean and super organic. Plenty of growers use this method on here so please ask questions. You got this! ❤️

Hey pal. Some ppl have used it. But as stuff evaporate. You'll have swings in PH.. And as there is no good values at all for vin in cannabis plants. You really should just buy a ph adjuster. I was using vin r 🍋 juice to lower mine. And read this.
