Depends on the application. Tolerable in drain to waste. In reservoir setups it’ll feed bacteria that are capable of generating 4.x pH just by being many tiny assholes

Sorry I don’t have the grow experience to give you useful answers.

The ph-up is problematic because it introduces a lot of sodium ion. If your product is potassium-based, you’re good.

If that’s your plan, I would start light, and gradually increase. Most bottle fed plants start and end that way so they’re already acclimated to the feed. Doesn’t mean it won’t work the way you’re trying to do it, just go easy in the beginning. And only feed half of the trios recommended dosage once you hit full strength, it’s pretty potent and will burn the girls. As far as ph up and down, if you can’t get the real stuff, lemon and vinegar work as a down, baking soda as an up. I’ve fortunately never had to use either. Order the real stuff on line if you can’t get it in the store.
