Id say no, the $10 ph down quart would work. You could try it though, should post some results if you do go with eggs.

[bud_wiser]

white vinegar will def lower ph baking soda will raise it i use phosphoric acid to lower ph. sulfuric acid or citric acid will also lower ph some poeple use miracle grow to lower ph because it uses urea nitrogen and very little ammonia nitrogen

No, I think I got it right...
From Wikipedia:
Acids are defined as those solutions that have a pH less than 7 (i.e. more hydrogen ions than water); while bases are defined as those solutions that have a pH greater than 7.

FWIW, I would never intentionally try to fuck up another grower. The only reason I post is to try and help peeps.
Peace,

I frequently use white distilled vinegar as a pH down (as seen on Mandala's site). It drops rapidly, so go a little at a time. If I'm up over 7.0 I'll add 5 ml per gal., then in 2.5 ml increments after that.
I usually don't need to raise it, but I have some 4-10-3 root stim. that smells like ammonia. It must be up around 12, a little can be too much.
