If you have a soil grow, you can add limestone to your potting mix. This will effectively lower your pH, which is what you need. Your pH should ideally drop to between 6 and 7.

Limestone will raise soil pH.

Baking soda raises your pH and vinegar lowers your pH. Not sure how much you need of either, but just a few drops should work per gallon

Lime, baking soda and woodash are all good for raising the ph. Vinger, lime or lemon juice will lower the ph. If your well water is running at 8 you are too sweet in your soil. If you want a truly organic solution try oak leaves or pine straw in your water. Get a ph tester to test your water. If you have a barrel fill it up with water and put the leaves or pine straw in and then moniter the ph until it is lowered to about 6.5 to 7 for a soil grow. Good luck with your grow.
