any acid... most people have white distilled vinegar around the house (acetic acid) 5% is fairly strong relative to the pH range we want. won't tkae more than 1-3 mL per gallon. i recommend an acid that doesn't invovled potentially available nutrinets to the plant, unless you also have some sort issue coincidentally going on too. acetic acid won't scre up any nutrient balance you have. the type of acid you choose will not affect likelihood of pH-drift. pH drift occurs from poorly buffered fertilizers if it's a soilles/hdro nute lineup, or if in soil, it should mitigate small differences in pH on its own. citric acid is another excellent choice. you'll likely have that or vinegar around without any special trip to the store. i would recommend buying some cheapie plastic pipettes. the small ones 3-5 mL ... unless you are mixing many gallons at one time, then by the bigger ones to match scale.

buy ph- and ph+ its cost 10-20£ depending on brand or size, will last you 2 years at least. all remedies are not stable, those will drift too, but not in an hour or so. plus last really long even growing 10 plants all year it will last you few.

I usually use citric acid but have also used white vinegar and lemon juice for the same purpose without problems

Obvious answer would be to use pH down but I guess you have none? To bring it down you are making it more acidic so you need to add some. Various different acids are used phosphoric acid for example . A lot of pH downs are just made of citric acid water. Costing pennies. Citric acid is that sour sugar stuff on sweets. You can get it from any food shops. Asian stores seem to have it but even easier is various vinegars or even lemon juice To go up you would need a base or alkali. Like bicarb of soda

You can purchase pH up and pH down solutions, or alternatively, you can use baking soda to raise pH and lemon juice to lower it. Simply add a few drops as needed 🍻
