SN... cider vinegar is the cheap emergency substitute. Organic acids aren't as powerful, but for some reason cider vinegar is said to be slightly beneficial to the soil. If you don't have cider vinegar, try lemon juice or white distilled vinegar.

thanks stinky and WH,

he is on his way up there now. I just realllllllllly hope this is the answer. just keep dropping more and more cash into this. cant wait for them to be ready, but im trying. Im at that dilemma point of "why the hell am i paying(when i have the money) someone for a crappy version of whats in my closet?", i dont know.

Would lemon juice attract bugs? I'm not suggesting that it does, i'm just asking the question. What concentration would you use of the vinegar to bring down the pH?

Stealth I know how it feels to get frustrated....god KNOWS I've been there but you guys actually have an excellent grow going.....this is not a matter of it's perfect or it's shit......your plants can finish with that K def and it won't hurt your yield.........it didn't hurt mine anyway. I got the problem the worst when I grew White Rhino and they finished very heavy.

It's all a matter of tweaking things back and forth......so far you guys have done great so give yourselves a pat on the back.

I agree with weedhound. You can go overboard with concerns that may or may not be all that big of a deal. I've been growing for less than two years and I remember how I'd freak when something was going wrong. Some grows were better than others and none went as smooth as I would have liked. In the end the bud came out looking great and every bit as good as what I would have bought on the street, regardless of what the plants themselves may have endured. It's kind of like being a parent. The first one is a stressful trip. After that things more or less fall into place and aren't as stressful as the first. It's good to stay on top of things but you can overdue the freak outs.

This board answered a lot of the basics (along with a few grow books) when I first started growing. Another thing I've learned is that there are more ways to do something than what some people swear can only be done one way. So as long as your plants don't die outright, you're still in the game.
