Can I still use my nutrients that we’re accidentally PH’d Down to 4.3 ?

All my bottles of nutrients ph levels are lower than they should be.

I’m not sure, but it seems I Mistakenly used the PH eye dropper for the nutrients and lowered all my nutrients PH levels to around 4.6

Ever bottle of nutrients I have is affected and I can’t afford to replace them all, I can maybe replace one, cash is low.

Can I still use them as long as I get the ph level up to 6.5 before feeding plant? (Growing in Soil)

Thank you

Why would you put pH in the bottle of nutrients?

You're supposed to add a little bit of nutrients to your water feed and then pH that, not the source bottles of nutrients.

No I wouldn't use any of them.

You ph'd the solution that's carrying the nutes, you didn't really affect the nutes themselves chemically.
Yes you

Thank you. That’s the answer I was hoping for.
I appreciate the help.

I wouldn’t ph up the actual bottles.

Best bet is probably mixing up a jug of water/nutes and then balancing the ph of that like normal.

I think an issue here is the Ph is extremely acidic. I'm not sure how that affects the nutrients in the bottle. I would imagine at some point it would screw things up. I just dont know if you hit that point.

Most of the nuts are acidic. you don't need to measure them, you need to measure after you do mixing with water. Just one piece of advice: when making food, add fill nutrients into the water in the same sequence as show on the company instruction sheet
