Use General Hydroponics PH Down. Baking soda is alkaline and will raise your PH. If you must, you can use aquarium PH down temporarily, but get the real stuff from a grow shop or mail order it.

DO NOT USE BAKING SODA!

There are home remedy's. have heard batt acid & a few others.

 

The best is to by a ph down from a grow shop. It gives you better ,predictable control, IE you'll know exactly how much to add.

 

I've gotten to where I just put in a cap full in with my cloning solution & it's right every time.

In my opinion, the only home remedies I would even consider, are lemon juice or vinegar, and then only as a one time deal until you can get some PH Down. A high quality combo PH/TDS/EC meter is also essential to know exactly what you are doing every time you add something.

great choice. cloning is not the time for home remedies and rigging things. its very easy at this stage to waste 20 days, have nothing, and start over again.......
