Thanks John Vinegar is frequently used to lower pH of water used to store cut flowers. Citric acid is also used for this. Both are fairly weak acids and easy to handle, but vinegar is more readily available, is cheaper in home gardener quantities, and you probably have some around the house anyway. |

Vinegar to lower pH
it is organic and used by bacteria. little residual for keeping pH down. use
hydrochloric instead (aka muriatic acid at the hardware store). careful, the stuff is potent. Ingrid (John Paner) wrote: I have been using Vinegar to lower my pH in a hydroponic system.
