i know peeps use this for ph down,and vineagar,which is acetic acid,which comes from organic stuff....wen we buy it in stores after manufactured,how organic is it? does anyone use it in a all organic grow,and udont have to keeptrack of the soil ph? peace barney/
I'm not sure how organic it is. I don't need or use the stuff. I use a bit of dolomite lime in my soil for a buffer. I also have well water and the ph out of the tap is 6.5...........how nice is that! From all the people that I have seen here that use dolomite lime, not one of them has had ph issues.
Lime is applied to the soil to increase the soil pH. Soil pH, a measure of the soil's acidity or alkalinity, can directly influence the vigor and quality of plant growth. When the pH is below 7.0, the soil is said to be acidic; when above 7.0, it is alkaline. Elemental sulfur is one amendment that can be used to lower soil pH.

Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar pH = 3.075; Concentration/Strength = 63 grain Acetic Acid = 5.14 % Potassium = 24mg/Tbsp. <2% DRV / RDI ----------------------- Bunch of google snippits. I guess one could use it to lower PH. Makes me wonder if I should try it in a mix?
i use it..it works... and it's in harmony with my metanaturals nutrients.. i grow as close to 100% organic as i can.
it's really dependant on what the pH is to start with.. My pH is about 7.8-8.0 and with just a capful i can bring a gallon down to about 6.5-6.7 ... so i figure a cap lowers it a full point to a point and a 1/4 or so...check your water pH first then go from there..
Thanks, I am going to use a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar for a gallon of water,then Ill check the pH to see if it goes down.It has great micro and macro nutes in it, also good vitamans and minerals,wish I knew that earlier.
There is a difference in quality for Organic cider. I did a google once and found out natural organic cider has more to offer then the food store. I think it was Bragg Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar pH = 3.075 Concentration/Strength = 63 grain Acetic Acid = 5.14 % Potassium = 24mg/Tbsp. <2% DRV / RDI Don't know exactly.
