So ive been growing my first time seriously and never got around to checking the Ph of my water i just used tap water but its around a 7.5 to 8 in pH so i was wondering what natural ways there are to lower it i cant seem to find anything on here or the internet on what to do

Lemon juice works as well, but like Ganja stated ph-Down is better.

And that Ph down solution wont hurt the plants at all. Like ive read about that stuff but i figured itd be different if the plant is absorbing the solution rather than for a fish to live in it you know .

our plants require phosphorus to grow and especially flower
thats why the high recommendation for the "phosphoric acid type PH Down
