General Hydroponics pH Down Liquid, 1-Quart

A little down a little up a little in the middle this stuff works you just need a micro drop and be careful it's acid

general hydroponics is an industry standard. reliably consistent.

I had used muriatic acid in the past to lower my hydroponic PH until I learned that on top of being very strong, it doesn't have the buffering capacity of something designed for lowering PH and has the negative side effect of adding too much chloride to system, that can harm plants and fish. This product is good safe and designed to safely adjust PH. Our water comes out of tap between 7 and 8, and this helps me get water between 5.5 and 6.5 where most plants like it. Having the right PH makes all the difference in the success of your hydroponic or aquaponic system. It just takes a little to adjust, so be sure to test. If you go too far, add more water Instead of adding PH up.

Using distilled water, coffee filters and liquid ph adjuster, I have adjusted soil to the optimum ph for tomatoes and have now planted the seed. I am confident they will produce healthy plants. Having the correct so for plants saves the frustration of paying for seed or plants, doing s lit of work and then seeing no results. I got 200 test strips from WalMart for about $5 and a gallon of distilled water for 83 cents. I tested the soul and added small amounts of ph adjuster until I had the correct ph for tomatoes which should be around 7.

I have slightly basic water and soil, which can be problematic for fruits and veggies that prefer acidic environments to grow. Peppers and tomatoes are much happier with using PH Down. It's simple to use, store and does not take much of the liquid for my garden. It also works great for acid loving houseplants. I just mix in a little with my water and test, and continue until the PH is in an ideal range. It could not get any easier.

pH Down (quart) ... I wanted this pH Down to adjust the water in my aquariums so that my plants would flourish. My city tap water measures a little over seven, and my plants do best when the pH is at six or just below six. I add just a little at a time depending on the size of the aquarium, and to not shock my fish. My pH tester makes this very easy to do. With the proper amount of lighting, my plants are growing much better now ... so much that I am able to separate them apart to share in other tanks. Thanks General Hydroponics!

I just received my bottle of pH DOWN and could not believe how big it was! I was expecting a quart bottle but received a gallon - enough for at least 1 lifetime - maybe several! In order to get ready to use the pH DOWN properly, I watched several You Tube videos by pH DOWN which explain in detail about plant acidity. The first thing I discovered is that I needed to get a pH test indicator so that I could test the pH of the water as I changed the acidity level. After that, it's a very simple process of adding drops of the pH DOWN solution until reaching the desired pH. It's still early in the planting season so I still need to wait some time before seeing the desired results, but I am confident that the corrected pH will have a beneficial effect on my garden. I would recommend this product, but only the quart size for residential use.

This hydroponics seed starter is a must need for your hydroponics starter kit. I'm very new to hydroponics, but thus far I'm happy with this product. No matter what do your research but this item is a good resource for your supply kit to ensure the perfect solution for starting your seeds.

This is a really good concept to help the health of your soils to be able to make sure your plants are growing at their peak, but personally I think it's too much work to be putting into growing the few plants that I do grow. I think this would be more for a major gardener who has the time to be measuring pH levels and is growing on a much larger scale than someone like me who is just your basic gardener. All in all though, I think it's a great idea and if I had a bigger gardening space I would be more apt to use it on a regular basis. Seems like it takes a lot of work just to test the soil to make sure it's levels are up to par.

This is a great addition to a person who is just now starting out with a green house. Easy to follow instructions and easy to store. I don't know if this is with all the bags, but this particular one had a strong smell to it, so we had to do everything outside and then move it inside. The odor about knocked us out!
