[TamyLove420]

at the beginning I was using MG soil but it was turning true leaves yellow n no I don't know how to use that part of the meter yet. The meter didn't come with instructions.

2 Teaspoons battery acid for 5 gallons water is working out real well. brings ph from 8.2 down to 6.1- 6.3.
Got some rubber gloves and popped the caps and drained then into a plastic pail then carefully poured them into 2 litter bottles..
I have access to old batteries, and it seems to stabilize my ph a lot better.
One plant likes it sour the other sweet. I would say just keep em happy.

[seventhchild]

acid taken from old batteries will have LEAD dissolved in it . PLEASE DO NOT USE USED BATTERY ACID FOR ANYTHING. Gatekeeper should DESTROY any plants that he has given it to and dispose of the medium in a hazardous waste drop site.he should also go to a DOCTOR and get tested LEAD POISONING as soon as possible.WTF was he thinking ..................

Thank you both for ur input as i am a beginner and any knowledge is better than none but im gonna have to agree with seventh child....how can battery acid be good for your body...? Maybe if this weed was just for testing and throwing away but this is MEDICINE thats going into my body, I have been taking extra precautions to go as organic as possible.

Sulfuric acid [battery acid] is commonly used for PH down and is safe if it is new [unused].handle carefully....it can MELT skin...fumes can damage lungs..Sulfuric acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it is the LEAD that is dangerous........very dangerous....banned for most uses worldwide....Lead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
