Water ph with organic grow

I’m switching to full organic and using coco coir, down to earth organic dry amendments, and worm castings and perlite. My question is can I use regular ph down for my water. And does that harm the organic soil and if so is there a better way to ph down. Also does the down to earth nutrients have high or low ph?

Organic dry amendments in coco is like watering your plants with a flame thrower it makes no sense. If you want to do organic dry stick to soil.

I would look at liquid nutrients, like Hydrolyzed Fish. Neptune's Harvest is one that came recommended, and I use in case I need a quick fix.
I went with organic for simplicity. I use a simple coots mix soil with sips, and now things are almost on autopilot :mrgreen:
What you are proposing I possible, but seems like more work and headaches. There are thousands of people growing in organic soil with dry ammendments. That's a nice deep pool of knowledge to pull from :blsmoke:

Thanks, it’s just confusing because I’ve seen people do it online time and time again. Like mr canucks makes it look like nothin lol but he’s literally a professional when it comes to growing I guess

It's a matter of timing and knowing what the plant is telling you. That's why canuck's makes it look so easy, but I've seen him get lazy a couple times and almost f up his grow. I was thinking like you, but I got turned on to organics in soil, and I'll never look back. It's so much easier using just water without measuring out nutes, no deficiencies, just green. No till is the point you want to get to. Start studying. Lol

If you want to get technical im a professional seeing as I'm have a commercial grower and grow commercially (yes there's a difference)

Are you at the point of no till and what do you recommend (product wise) to start off with. I'd love a 100% organic supersoil or coots and wanting to get to no till stability as quick as possible. P.s. Budget grow and so far have a 2x4 tent w/246 actual watt led, fans & vents. autoflower Super skunk and Northern lights going into 3 gallon fabric pots. Just have not decided on my soil set-up. Don't have the time or money to make my own big batch and wait so looking for ready to use option suggestions?

His plants are borderline just ok. He doesn't use coco anymore probably for the same reason no one else does after one or two attempts.
