Ph problem

[Blasph3mY]

I bought a ph meter and it showed the soil was too high, 7.5 so I added vineger to lower it too about 6.5 as I read that would be better and it made my Ph go up? Its sitting at about 8 now. What should I do to correct this?

just flush with distilled water....and from now on u have to water only with distilled water plus nutes.that's all

I'm getting a little freaked out. Are there plants in the soil you are pouring vinegar on or are you just adjusting loose soil?

Distilled does NOT mean neutral. Distilled water can have a PH from 4.0 to 9.0. You still must ph test. So no, no no. The water must still be tested after nutes are added.

im talkin about distilled water with PH at 5,5 plus the nutes so it goes a little up at 6-6,5 which is the best.But yes i agree that still PH meter needed.
