Hey whats up.

I am on week 4 of bloom of an indoor tomato grow. I am using organic soil and a 400w hps light.
I have been using the Fox Farm line. I noticed things were good until I started using Tiger Bloom. On a hunch I checked the ph level of my mixed fert. It was very low. Around 3. I need to bring this up where it should be.

What can I use to stabilize the ph level? Thanks.

I'd invest in some PH Up if I were you. After all, you already spent the money on decent nutes, so I don't see the logic in cutting corners, for adjusting your PH. Might as well go with stuff that's designed for growing, right?
