Is it rrcommended to use lemon juice to lower the ph of my water?
Well its a seedling about a week old now, 3 sets of leaves. Its in a rock wool cube, about to go into a hydro system for my first grow. Im using good tap water, but just to get it to about 5.8 - 6.0 ive been dripping a little lemon juice in the water and testing again and it seems to be working. Wanted to make sure i wasnt giving it something bad.Citric acid is an acid ... so it WILL lower PH. A couple of questions though:
1. Are you in soil?
2. If in soil, what's the PH of your run-off?
3. What PH level are you trying to achieve?

baking soda. though i recommend using quality pH up and down.What would be something around the house (like u said vinegar) for raising the ph up?
