A couple of drops of vinigar per couple of letres of water should do it!
Good Luck,
Bliss.
Real juice from a real lemon works better but it does cost more unless you have a tree...fyi
But nothing beats the real Ph up and down acids you can buy. They last longer then anyting else I have tried before.
cool, ill try the lemon juice and vinigar right now and check it in an hour:dance:Quote:

I bought a nice reverse osmosis unit off ebay and that alleviated the metals problem...goodluck
love love love.
interesting... thanks Mr. WOOD..
How much is a lot..
Usually I use about 1/2 teaspoon (vinegar) for a 5 gallon bucket of 8.0 water. I considerthis VERY VERY little
: )
cheers
KNowmy...I think I had to ADD several tbs...that was a long time ago...phdown cost 6-8 bucks...once I bought it, I haven't used home substitutes. And 1 qt has lasted me over a year...
VERY TRUE.. the stuff goes a long wayQuote:

jesus i found out how much to add this morning...let me tell you i was quite shocked on how well this shit works
ph on first bucket was 6.2
added 2 ml of gh ph down
droped it to 3.9....lmfao....
so i dumped it and started a fresh batch of nutes and shit....this shit does not take a any time at all to drop the ph, its instant really all a little stir well check ph add a little stir check ph
ended up taking 1ml to bring 2 gal of 7.5phed water to 5.2
5.2 is way too LOW!!! Optimum ph for hydro is 5.8, but can be varied during flower from 5.4-5.9 if you know what you are doing.
Who told you to ph @5.2?
you need to read my friend. peace
