first off, let me tell you that no you dont... ok go ahead pay your rent, let the cell phone go... you can go without texting for a little while... just so you can get you a meter... if you cant grind up the cash for a proper ph meter then simply dont fucking grow. there are requirments needed for growing if you cant afford them, dont do it. simple. second, you use human piss? your a fucking moron man... and its coco COIR and the ph is fine between 5.5-6.0 test drops are shit... get a meter, calibration solution and some storage solution if needed.. oh and you know how to grow...
you are stupid as shit and I'm 23 FYI however I probably knew more about growing then than any other kid you have ever meet in your life.
Like literally you are retarded...and I don't have a cell phone I'm bumming off my neighbors internet now just like really dude your talking down to someone simply because I can't afford a ph meter that costs more than my phone bill is? Really...

Just cause I don't have money now doesn't mean I won't have money/ had money. Sometimes things happen to your plants when your broke.. Shit happens and if you have never had this happen ether your lucky, rich, or just don't grow. FOR THE SECOND TIME I DONT BUY WEED AND IM GROWING IN CHOIR AND NOT JUST SHITTY CHOIR, GOLD LABLE THE BEST I CAN BUY. And like it was said earlier ph is pointless to track when running soil. That's how I thought coco would react. And by the time my plant is having problems I've spent all I had on nute coco light bulbs pots cloning chamber temp gage fans serge protectors cfl cloning bulbs ... There's a lot that goes into growing and I bought the best shit so I will continue to buy the best shit aka ph meter that happened to be 45$
since you use the best why dont we see pics of your setup? id like to see your gorilla tent. soils tek or advanced nutrients ballast and whatever reflector you use

i got news for you.. im 19 and i dont sit around a cry about not affording this or not affording that.. its called either afford it, or dont grow until you can afford it. no clue how long you have been growing but ive been growing since i was 16 almost 17 and i seriously doubt you know more then me... thats why you piss on your plants right?

So basically you spent all your money before researching? Brilliant.

Compost does not stink at all if properly made. If your does, it has bad stuff in it and should not be used.

As for your piss weed...no thanks, I'll pass.
Your stupid as fuck too! DUDE FERTILIZER IS SHIT!!!! As in poop that comes out of your ass...You are smoking cow shit and bat shit and chicken shit not to mention where the fuck do you think the ammonia comes from in your nutes?!?!? Gosh I ask one simple question and all of you would rather talk shit than actually give me an answer! What ever I figured it out the answer is 1 ml ph down give or take to bring it down half point thanks to the few who actually helped

What does my knowledge about weed have to do with anything involving me not having a ph meter at all ???

I think the overwhelming response, "you should wait until you have the money to grow," is both basically accurate, and due to the general nature of the original post--a post seeking alternatives to pH down for the simple reason "i don't have the money for pH down."

You were given the easiest answer early on and responded that you had "heard bad things about vinegar." now, the only thing I know about vinegar that's "bad" is that it has a tendency to lose its efficacy over time when compared with the store bought hydro ph down. Now, most people are going to respond a little curtly to anyone who just puts up a thread of the fashion "i need you to tell me x" because its a bit demanding of the community.
Getting into a flamewar about this, is, sadly, an extremely juvenile response.

My take on the situation is thus: you clearly don't know as much about growing as you are asserting, since you don't know that citric acid and acetyl acid (vinegar) are the two most common recommendations for natural pH down. Not knowing AS MUCH as you assert you know is not, however, the same as knowing nothing. Feeling threatened by people on the forum is good reason why you might respond with those kinds of "i know more than you" or "i know more than you think i do" statements. self-defense, fairly understandable. The problem ,though ,is that this issue was solved early on in the thread. the naysayers, who make a good point about needing a capital reserve for the "just-in-case," emergency scenarios inevitable in growing, may seem dismissive. But, the ultimate point that IT SEEMS like you're trying to cobble together a ghetto grow rather than wait until you've got things in order, is one that appears accurate. Fir3dragon has a good point when he basically raises the "pics or it didn't happen" mantra: where's your setup?
if you're going to respond with the "I dont have a camera," or "i don't think its a good idea to photograph my jive," this is fine, but you must recognize that any discomfort you feel is your own, and you will have to tolerate deniers the best you can. In all, it would seem as though this is an unnecessary fight that you'd have done well to avoid.
be easy,

A) human shit is not, to my knowledge, approved for composting purposes, nor is it used as a direct fertilizer commercially. (B) fertilizer is not one category. Chemical fertilizers do not originate from animal waste product, as this would be cost-prohibitive.

What ever I figured it out the answer is 1 ml ph down give or take to bring it down half point thanks to the few who actually helped
this answer is extremely approximate and will be effected by temperature among other things. there most certainly is an equation, or formula, that can easily tell you this; I'm glad you seem to have found it. however, you should be aware that minor variations can cause massive pH swings. I'm sure you can afford the litmus papers--or can go to a local highschool chemistry teacher and beg him/her for some. I'd recommend at least getting those.
be easy and have fun fighting with your compatriots here

Thank you so much.. Never intended to be arguing with kids about a ph meter online . Now as for the older grows I've lost most the pics and can't find nor want to go find my camera with the older grows on it I will however post pics of my last grow and current grow

Dragon you have heard of urea nitrogen right? Quite trolling the kid with your ignorance please...
im not trolling.. if you piss on your plants, they will die.. your piss has way to much nitrogen in it...

either way, you and him and piss on your plants all you want... im not the one whos smoking it.
