Lowering my PH with no chemicals

[hardweed]

I planted some white widow 10days ago and they are getting bigger by the day. However i read for optimum growth the PH level should be 6.5 and mine is around 7.1.
Is this anything to bother caring about? and if it is wats the best ways to reduce the PH without using bought chemicals. Ive tried lemon juice in the water and it did nothing, i put vinegar in water which reduced the waters PH but the soil stays the same.
thanks

my ph stayed at 7 all the time for all three grows i have done with some problems. but i did have to use some shit i bought from home depot to help lower it cuz i know that 7 is alittle on the high end..

cider vinegar is the popular choice.

Cider vinegar>>>>>used by the masses!!!!!!!!!

Umm. Idk now much it'll help the soil but I know adding CO2 to the water, like take a straw and breath into the water. Blow bubbles basically. That'll lower the pH of the water for a while... until it sits for a few hours and balances back out.. hahaha. Thats my 2 cents. But a pH of 7 wont bother it at all if that's what your really worried about. unless your trying to have like exactly perfect conditions for 100% yield

Apple cider vinegar is very popular but you have already been told that

also molasses lowers ph when added as do most nutes

but soil is ph tolerant so 7.1 is not really a problem

Use White distilled vinegar thats what I always use, it has less bacteria then Apple cider vinegar does.

It also contains a minimum of 5% Acetic acid which isnt great in hydro. The bacteria levels are so minimal that it is irrelevant.
