FFoF PH 7.2-7.3? How Should I Get It Down?

Title says it all. I am constantly getting ph readings of 7.2-7.3 from my bags of FFoF. Whether it be from watering runoff or doing a 1 part soil 2 part water mix. Not sure how to get it down to proper levels. Any suggestions appreciated.

Will aluminum sulfate do the trick? And how well does it work?

I was curious what soil itself tested, looks like just a teeny bit on the high side but nothing major. When you feed, most nutes make the water acidic. If you balance the PH in the water when you feed, just leave it a little on the low side, it should all even out. I use FFOF. Last year I had to learn about adjusting the PH when I fed, it really knocked the PH way down. I corrected what i was putting in but my runoff was pretty acidic. Plants turned out just fineI've been told it's what you put into the soil that matters more than the runoff.

I wouldn't mess with the soil, just monitor what you put in

Use PH Down you can get it at a fish store or hydro shop

I always mix perlite with my FF OF, haven't had any issues. PH down will definitely do the trick.

Peace out

Lemon juice works just fine if you're in a pinch.
