6.5 ph is ideal for soil plants, also best spend the $10-$20 and get the proper ph up/down solutions

I agree, vinegar & baking soda are for emergency use only. Just letting water sit in a pail overnight is enough to release the chlorine boiling is expensive and unnecessary.
What are you measuring your PH with, strips or a calibrated pen ? strips aren't that accurate.

With a oh 0f 7 i would leave it be.
And just mix the nutes a little at 6.5.
But that depends are you soil or hydro

Baking soda does lower PH but it is not as stable and is not recommended to use often. Its good for the odd emergency but I wouldnt use it too much.
