IDK...I've never come across anything that works at lowering the ph, better than phosphoric acid. Plants love it, and 1 gallon has lasted me over two years. (always add acid to water, not the other way around, BTW)Quote:

You might consider flushing your plants with PH balanced water with 1 T H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) (3 gallon pot use about 3 gallons water.
Also, add H2O2 and mole-asses to your non-nute -- every watering.
The H2O2 extra oxygen molecule helps displace the water so your roots can "breathe", and attaches to and helps clean up dead organic matter, etc. As good a home-cure/additive as Mole Asses for micro-nutes and carbs.
good growing.
1 tablespoon of H2O2 per gallon of water, can also kill the bioactivity in your soil. :(
Fight PH issues with 1/2 cup dolomite lime per cu ft of soil when mixing in the first place, work smarter not harder:thumbsup:
How do you mix lime it in a pot, that has the plant in it already?
I started using ro water a year ago, its funny stuff until you get used to it. Although your ph meter will give a reading it will be wrong as ro water is nearly pure and therefore should have no ph (potential of hydrogen)until it is buffered. It will also deteriorate the probe I have been told. My local hydro guy told me to add back 1 litre of waste water to every 10 litres of ro instead of cal mag this will add back the other micro nutrients that can cause defficencies but still filters out the chloride and other nastys in the tap. Apparently thats what the fish guys do in their aquariums with good results and so far it worked for me.
Subzero.
