Hey I just got a ph tester and it says my soil has a ph of 7. I think its supposed to be like 6.5 or some shit right? What can I use to drop the ph of my soil and how much of it do I use?

Thanks for the help, Dr.GreenNutz

I've actually heard of growers saying that vinegar harned their plant (soil growth).

Be efficient, go to a petstore and buy pH-Down. It's used to lower the ph of aquarium water. It lasts a lot of time (good for aprox 80l) and is made out of organic acids extracted from willows or other plants.

I'm pretty sure that PH 7.0 is fine for soil. Don't adjust it unless you see problems with your plant.

if your plant i ok dont go fuckin with ph just feed the plant most nutes lower the ph of the water youre feeding with so dont worry about the ph until you see that the plant is in need of something

great advice! chasing ph is never a good idea. if your plant isn't displaying problems, leave it alone. as long as you ph "everything" you put in/on your plant, you shouldn't have to worry about ph.
