so i've been using vinegar as a ph down for a while now, many people on the forum think it's a good way to lower ph.
while it does get the job done, i was told this by one fella today:
"We use it to kill invasive weeds. We use phosphoric acid to control pH.
Not many professionals use vinegar to control pH in groweries. I can't tell you how many people we had to explain this to. It reacts with aluminum salts in soil and is quite toxic to many plants.
Just use anything else and you will be fine."
would lemon juice be a good substitute? it actually has slightly lower ph then vinegar too
