lowering PH in soiil?? +rep

jagresti · Jul 18, 2009

i just was doing this actually. i buy soil with a pH of about 7.0-7.5 and i like my MJ plants at 6.0-6.5 so i use regular white vinegar.

I have a pH probe which you can get cheap at Lowes or HD.

I add a cap full or two of the vinegar and mix the soil really well. Then i test pH and its usually perfect.

good luck

and my w ater is also abouy 7.2-7.5 ph
how much lemon juice or w/e shud i add to drop ph in water so it will lower soil to 6.5?

how much ph does each teaspoon remove from the water.

2-3drops per gallon of lemon juice will help it
