I see people using silica to raise their PH instead of using PH up. in the same way, what can we use to lower PH instead of using PH down? Any useful stuff we can add to the mix instead of PH down?

When I add my Nutes it lowers the PH, so I always add everything then I PH.

What's wrong with pH down for lowering pH down?

Nitric acid or phosphoric acid are your best bets for lowering pH as they provide useful nutrients to the plants.

Nothing wrong with PH down, I just wanted to find out if there are other things out there that lower PH and can be useful for the plant at the same time.

I used Sensizym before they changed the formula to the pH Perfect one now it doesn't affect the pH... I saw a video Koma put out a few years ago about him using Hygrozym as an organic pH down and Dyna Gro ProTek as an organic pH up
