Hi guys, its me again. I think my ph is too high. Its sitting at 7 just now, i think. Meter might be a bit dodgy so I will order another 1 in case, but at the mo, my plants are suffering from various deficiencies and I wondered if the ph might have an impact on that. Is there a way to lower ph a bit organically?
I am growing in soil by the way


Thanks in advance
Penny

I put a few drops of lemon juice in 2l of water, and let it sit for a while, then checked the pH again. Worked grand!

Plenty on here use vinegar and seem happy to recommend it.

haha, dude, he meant the juice squeezed out of a lemon. Are they even selling lemon juice for drinking? Not where I live.

A couple drops of vinegar will lower the PH about one full point (7-6) making the water more acidic, and a little dab of baking soda will raise the PH of the water making it more base. Don't waste your money on PH up or PH down. Totally unnecessary...

100% real lemon juice. organic and if you have really any root dorminant bug it draws them off the roots.
