Ph control help for water

[Bigdaddy69]

Hey guys newbie grower here.
I recently planted 2 pineapple kush autos in the beginning of October.
When I first germinated and started my first grow, even with so many guides and grow journals telling me the importance of Ph level of the water.
I simply wrote it off as I currently live in a place where I can't just walk into a shop and get Ph up or down.
Online isn't an option as well as they won't ship it here.

As my girls are in thw beginning of week 4, I am thinking I should somehow figure out the Ph situation out.
So I was looking in some local gardening forums and they were talking about adding citric acid and baking soda to control the Ph of their water with their non-weed hydroponics.

So the question is can I use citric acid and baking soda to control the Ph level of water and safely mix it with my nutes for my soil grow??

-thanks in advance guys & gals!

A lot of people use citric acid and baking soda. I use white vinegar for pH down. I think you need to be more careful with the baking soda. I read that it can accumulate and lock other nutrients out. I think it has to do with the sodium content.

The organic growers on here would be of more help to you.
