My tap pH is 8.9, it takes 24 drops of GH pH down to adjust my 2 gallon water container to 6.5

Yeah, GH is good stuff. I've put a tablespoon in my 2 gal. Can (My tap is well water @ 6.9 no filtering) and it lowered it to about 3. 5 or so, but my soil was still @ 8.9 last night. I haven't tested it today yet.

next time use gypsum. GH ph up/down is toxic to your plants.
isnt lime for upping your ph?
