Hi,
I'm a new grower in and am having ph problems,theonly ph lowering agent available is hesi ph down,they only stock the hydro version of it and i am growing in soil,can i still use this and how would i do it or is there another method???
Cheers

Check out the Growfaqs.

Lemon juice works, as well as any ph down designed for fish tanks from wallmart.

apple cider vinegar

use the ph down to ph the water you give your plants. dont dump it in your soil you will kill your plants

You're supposed to put all that kind of stuff in your water anyway, buddy.

Unless you foliage.

ive tried the vinager approach to lower the ph of the water but it doesnt seem to have much effect on the soil once it begins to dry. Mollasses drops the ph off water repidly as well, that might help in lowering. Dolimite lime works well in soil but it must be added before planting and mixed into the soil. DO NOT just add dolimite to the top of the soil, esp around the trunk. It will kill you plant. good luck
