baking soda is not a real good choice - sodium + mj = not so good
if you have access to some wood ashes, those are real good for raising ph and add potassium to the water/soil
garden lime can be used, but i think it's pretty slow, but better than nothing
lot of growers use products called Ph Up and Ph Down - but they do cost some money

they do cost money but there not too expensive, for ph+ it doesnt matter what faze your in to use but for ph- be sure to use the right one, there is ph- for grow which usually is nitric acid and ph- for bloom which consists of phosforic acid, well keep it up, later

What are you using to check your ph? Some test kits only give you a general idea of your ph, and not an EXACT reading. Litmus paper is not very accurate, neither is swimming pool ph tests.
You can find good ph meters on "non-incriminating" websites for about $30-40.
i am using one that was 15 bucks, got it from lowes. it has a long metal probe that tests the pH and the moisture in the soil, seems ok

I picked up a bottle of pH down yesterday at walmart for about $7. Its not a huge bottle. From a company called SPA Time. I only had to use about 1/10th of a tbsp to drop a 1gal jug with 7.5 ph down to 6. So the bottle will prob last me the whole harvest, and prob another.
