super thrive, and alaska brand fish fert, thats all i can get my hands on right now, both are liquid, and i have a some organic phosphurus supplement, "mirical-gro" not real sure what to do with that though, its more of a powder..

you just need to pH the water your putting in to what you want or say the pH is 5.5 and you want it at 6.5 you flush with 7.5 water once. Check the runoff and keep nudging to where you need to be 6.0 flush with 7.0

works for me.

i use ph up and down. i dont kno of any other way except baking soda/vinegar, but u have to do your research. either way u should get a ph meter or gh liquid ph tester

yup, pH up and down at the local pet store. Also a cheap pH pen is only like 40 bucks. If your serious about growing, I'd really suggest getting one.
