Baking soda (raises PH) or lemon juice (lowers PH) work well.

spend the 12 bucks and buy the hydroponic stuff. up and down. the home made stuff causes problems with mold and pests.

 

[olosto]

Do we both get rep since it was in the same minute?? lol

 

[frmrboi]

up: baking soda, chalk
down: vinegar, lemon juice

Go buy a bottle of PH up. You can get some for under $5. Theres no stable household alternatives. Lemon juice can lower PH but its not stable.

If you overshoot then just use water to bring it back down. You should never be using PH up and PH down at the same time, its just ridiculous. Your only ever going to need one or the other depending on what your water supply is like. Nutes will usually lower PH too.

 

[olosto]

Yeah, ph up and ph down are the way to go, but you did want household items. The problem is in how long it will hold that ph..

if you are baking i suggest lots of baking soda on high in an non convection oven for 14 min at 400 degrees for sautee bring the marijuana to a light boil add lemon juice and a clove of garlic.tasty.... no

Yea you're right, the battery acid is very low pH. Like the batteries from a car. I was thinking of alkaline batteries.

I'm high as fuck too.
