Well, if it's intended for plants I don't see how it could harm it.

Aquarium pH adjuster might be different, though.

Although, I use vinegar to lower pH levels and baking soda to rise them when I need to, so I wouldn't know much shit about chemical adjusters. LoL

I think you are talking about this stuff. Sodium Phosphate-Monobasic which is used as aquarium pH down powder. I'm not sure but I doubt it would effect plants if it doesn't hurt the fish. Especially using such small amounts.
