That's too high for hydro, around 5.8 would be better.
PH down is cheap, but vinegar or lemon juice will work too.

Click to expand...

Don't think it matters what type, but I use Organic Apple Cider vinegar
because thats the only one I have in the cupboard.
BTW, you don't need much of it to lower the PH.

Its time to go low on nutes man. They are starting to go Mg deficient. What nutes do you have available?
