I've never used pH up/diown products before because my municipal water supply pH is fairly conducive to most plants I was growing. Recently, I started transferring a lot of my plants to semi-hydro and hydro using LECA, pumice. PON, etc., after a fungus gnat infestation.
PROS: Easy enough to mix. Use a medicine syringe or eye dropper to mix the right amount in small quantities.
A little goes a long way. Be careful with adjustments.
CONS: Price. Not sure I would be such a big fan if I had to use a larger quantity on a regular basis.
Would recommend if you are a plant parent who takes your duties seriously.
