ph up and ph down

Can I use aquarium grade ph up and ph down in my hydro setup? I think I saw this in the faq but i can't find it.

I looked around and didnt you see anything.I use bakeing soda and white vinegar.If you think about it fish has to live it the ph water.So the ph buffer has to be life and plant safe.There are aquqrium plants in the tank too.So yes my opinion is you can use it .To me it's sounds like a pure clean PH buffer. Peace PS dose anybody have any input on this?

it will do.

I use pool ph up and down. yours will be fine to.

is it really worth it? ph up and down pretty cheap are u hydro?

What's the difference between Aquarium grade ph up and down and normal horticultural ph up and down? The main thing you need to bear in mind is that as the ph up and down contains acids they contribute to the overall TDS figure in your nutrient solution so make sure you take your EC readings after you've ph corrected the water.

i read the question and even see ppl do it. i'm just saying its so cheap already why subsatute and you going to use just so/so nutes too?

were not talking about nutes, were talking about adjusting ph. Aquarium ph up and down does the exact same thing as any other. And I told you to read the question because you ask if it was a hydro setup and he said it was in his question. Anyway thats just my 2 cents..

and that was my 2 cents worth personal i didn't no if it woked and maybe it is almost the same personally saying i would spend the 5 bucks for the stuff at the hydro store its meant for plants and if i pay a cpl bucks more and it ends up to be the same i no it's proper shit............smoke a jay ya i did miss it saying hydro at first opps oh well is to be human eh!

Thanks for the input everyone. I do not have grow shops anywhere near my home so I am trying to make due with what is around here.

Well, you don't have to 'make due,' because you don't owe me any money.

Unlike what most of you guys have decided, all pH adjusters are not the same, and certainly don't act the same way with your plants.

First off, stuff that won't hurt fish may kill your plants. Like sodium, if your fish stuff has any kind of sodium in it, don't use it on your plants. Other adjusters, like vinegar and baking soda, will work temporarily, but will not stabililze.

It's best to use an adjuster that will also supply stuff your plants need. I use folic acid during veg, and phosphoric acid during flowering.

HTH

i thought i had read something about that
