I'm currently using Dutch pro bloom ph reducer in all stages of the plants life...I'm still getting good results from the ph down..it only has phosphate in it...I also have teah down it has citric acid Anhydrous would this be better for veg plants? Or just keep using Dutch pro bloom ph reducer? It more stable than the teah down...any advice would be greatly appreciated ....Screenshot_20231018_092240_Chrome.jpg

citric is fine also, it just doesnt add P like phosphoric or S like sulfuric, the H+ which is what lowers the pH is the same in all of them.

It's not as stable though...say I use phosphate and my ppm is 5.5 and I let it bubble fir 24hr it will rise maybe to 5.7....if I use citric and my pom is 5.5 it might raise to 7...so I use Phosphate...ty

Citric acid is a carbon source. It will be eaten by bacteria producing a biofilm that also consumes a bit of the nutrients and, more importantly, requires cleaning.
If you use it immedietly it is fine but on storage it is not as stable.
