I don't know if anyone has thrown this out there but anyone into hydroponics might be interested in this.

If you don't want to worry so much about having to fiddle with the pH you can create an acid-base buffer. Without getting to technical a buffer can maintain its pH even with the addition of acid/base.

Human blood is buffered at about 7.5, so even with the addition of acid/base the pH will not change drastically...keeping us alive.

If anyone is actually interested in learning a little more about this just let me know, i'm planning on using a buffer for my first grow.

I accidentally posted this in harvesting and curing....my bad. It feels a little more at home in this area.

Yeah thats basically the idea, i'm just really surprised buffers wouldn't be more widely discussed in this place. It seems pH problems are pretty common and as resourceful and people who grow weed are i would think pH buffers would be a lot more commonly used.
