Well i can tell you that just a few drops are needed to correct a PH level of 7.5 to a PH level of 6.8 of 5 gallon bottles i get of RO water....vinegar is some potent stuff when it comes to using it as PH down....i do it by drops at a time...hope this helps

hello buddy love

I have never seen a set ratio of water to vinegar....

I have always used vinegar myself to lower the ph of water... it woks great.... usually add about 1 teaspoon or less to a 5 gallon bucket of 8.0 ph water to get it down between 5.0 and 6.0...

I would start with a few drops and then stir your water... and then check your ph...

keep adding drops of water until you get the desired ph..

you are love

With the soilless grow mix you are using you would be better off with a Ph of 5.8 to 6.5 at most. The closer you can keep it to the 5.8-6.0 mark the better off you will be.
