What kind of soil .... Some have buffers that control ph inside its mix.

FFOF has Oyster shell component to control at 6.3 to 6.6.

If you are talking about controlling the water ph , then you could use lemon juice ( in a pinch ) to drop PH ... But use a meter to see where falls ... If it went too low add a little more water.

Or go get PH DOWN from a shop. ( liquid ) ... Just a very little bit will drop it.
If you are just watering .... But if you are mixing feed ... Add your feed to water stir it around a bit to blend - check ph and adjust .... 6.3 - 6.5 is a general range ... Some strains like it a little higher or lower sometimes.
