Ok so im using ocean forrest by fox farms wich is supposed to be at 6.3-6.8 i added some perlite to the soil for aeration. Im using a crappy ph tester but its showing a ph around 7.3-7.8 in my soil alone. Using the same meter on my tap water im getting around 6.5-7.0. I know i need a better ph tester but broke atm. Should i try and lower the ph without having a better tester?
If i do try and lower it keep in mind im broke so i was reading i could use some coffee grounds to do so. Will this work and how much do i use?
Or should i water with tap water instead of the gallon jugs of spring water i have been buying to lower it.

I have read the faq as well seen something about sawdust. Dont really have a compost pile for cuttings.
