Anyone use alot of PH down?

[SciFi]

Is it just me... or does anyone else use alot of PH down? I'm using distilled water (ph7) with general hydro, on the first schedule of veg, and it barely moves it to 6.8ish, then I have to PH down to 5.8ish. If I'd known how much down I would be using I'd bought a bigger bottle. O_O

Use Epsom Salt to lower PH... It has Sulphur which is acidic.

Just watch out for Sulphur Toxicity which will stunt overall growth and Magnesium Toxicity (RARE) which will cause nutrient lockout.

Sulphur Toxicity will be displayed as yellowing or burned leaf edges.

Magnesium Toxicity is rare and doesn't display visibly.
