Yes, you can use pH Minus designed for flowering during the vegetative stage as long as it’s a standard pH down solution, typically based on phosphoric acid, citric acid, or sometimes nitric acid. The label “for flowering” usually just refers to marketing or slightly adjusted formulations, not something that makes it harmful during veg. But here’s what to check: 1. Ingredients: • If it’s phosphoric acid-based: totally fine for veg. Common in most pH down products. • If it’s nitric acid-based: actually better for veg, but rare in commercial “flowering” products. • If it’s citric acid-based (organic lines): safe, but can be unstable in reservoirs. 2. No extra nutrients? • Some “flowering” pH products might have trace nutrients (like PK boosters). You don’t want those in veg — check the label for anything more than pH adjustment. Quick tip: Use it carefully, just a few drops at a time, and test with a pH meter or drops. Ideal veg pH: • Soil: 6.2–6.5 • Coco/Hydro: 5.8–6.2.

Hmmm as plants grow there will always be a slight acidification happening, meaning the pH will always go a little down as more reactions happen. Because tap water is normally above 7 its normally got calcium and magnesium In the water itself, sometimes this can be enough to offset the natural acidification and hold the pH stable. Just keep an eye on pH once it gets close to 6.0 add some calcium, magnesium, potassium bump it back closer to 7 then continue.

Of course you can..............fertilizer manufacturers come up with all sorts of crap to sell more stuff...........like veg and bloom pH additives! pH up or down works the same way whether a plant is in veg or flower.

ph down or ph up works regardless of the plants life stage or cycle eg bloom/flower Its an acid and does not matter. so yes use it if its needed.
