if you dont have access to ph down you can use a small amount of vinegar

other than Ph up and Ph down i dont know what to advise you to use that would be safe for the plants

for instance lemon juice or vinegar would bring down your Ph but who knows what it would do to the plant?

If your growing in soil, using finely granulated dolomite lime will keep your ph stable throughout your grow.
