If not will this affect my plants in a negative way? The main ingredient is phosphoric acid. I was just worried about it not being organic and affecting the crop in some way.
Thanks.

Phosphoric acid, also known as
orthophosphoric acid or
phosphoric(V) acid, is a
mineral (inorganic) acid having the
chemical formula H3PO4. By contrast, orthophosphoric
acid molecules can combine with themselves to form a variety of compounds referred to as
phosphoric acids in a more general way. The term
phosphoric acid can also refer to a
chemical or
reagent consisting of phosphoric acids, usually mostly orthophosphoric acid. i wouldnt really worry about the ph down being organic, b/c u use so little + its not a nutrient.
