thats really the only and best thing besides a product? what products er pop then?

I don't use products for the most part. You can generally do just as well with home remedies as long as you know what you're doing.

I use vinegar and baking soda to correct PH

There are solutions, but I don;t think there is a point spending money, when a snip of soda or a few drops of vinegar do the trick

vinegar drops ph down
soda - up

Leave your soil alone. 7.0 is fine. Adjust your water to a PH of 6.5 and you are golden.

Any type of edible acid will lower the water's PH - lemon juice, lime juice, vinegar, etc. Or try at the pet store and they may have some PH lowering solution.

Take it from someone that taught a Hort. Sci. class - a pH of 7 for cannabis is not ideal if you use soil. Cannabis, as well as a host of beneficial organisms in the soil, likes slightly acidic soil, no lower than ph 6.2 and generally no higher than 6.8. Anything higher or lower in soil will start to cause nutrient lockout. For hydro, I've had plenty of good results with keeping the pH between 6.0 and 5.5.

yah i did some research and everything you siad is 100% true and very helpfull bro. thanxs! i added some vinegar n epsom salt. and the bible ses 6.8, so i say 6.8, is 6.5 for water perfect?

6.5 should do the trick just fine as long as you're watching that pH.

If you add nutes to the water, give the water an hour to let hydrogen ions bind to the nutes. This has the effect of changing pH because it will create acids. After an hour, pH what you're going to water with, adjust if needed, then water.

Get some PH down from the hot tub section of hardware store, mix it in with water. Enjoy.
