just some more stuff i found
(((I use good old armor and hammer baking soda and generic distilled white vinegar. I have not tried or even considered trying red wine vinegar or anything of the sort since it is the acid we are after.
1/4 tsp vinegar/gallon/point PH down adjustment 1/2 tsp baking soda/TEN gallons/point PH up adjustment
If you need finer adjustments or just want something that is a little more forgiving you can weaken these by mixing with distilled water.
I see absolutely no benefit to purchasing PH up and down or other more obscure acids. For less than $5 I have enough PH up and down to last me for the foreseeable future.)))

well made some ph down 3 teaspoons vinegar to 1 gallon tap water and some ph up 1/4 teaspoon arm and hammer baking soda per gallon reading is shakey jumping around from 4 to 5.9 maybe 6 but the plants dont look shocked did the first three in line for control test to see how it works out O leafs on 7 out of 11 have stated to curl down branches are coming from mid to uper plant still no luck with a good ph meter i think my soil master got a messed up probe or some thing but im going to push on the plant with dieing tips has started to get better really dark green though the dead yellow tips never recovered just the rest of the plant
