I have some GH PH Down on the way, but in the mean time is it ok to use lemon juice to get filtered tap water to a lower PH? (for soil) After I PH it then I add floranova which supposedly has PH buffers.
Kitchen remedies are best left for emergencies as they last about as long as a drive to the hydro store for proper pH Down. pH Down is dirt cheap and, used by the drop, lasts for years. Get the real thing.
Add nutes first, measure ph, adjust pH last.

And as far as cost is concerned you cannot get much cheaper than $1.70 for a gallon of vinegar.
I disagree with this statement, if growing in soil there is no harm in using lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to adjust pH. I have used white and apple cider vinegar for years and my plants grow to picture perfect health. besides, hydro store ph buffers are full of salts and chemicals, why would you want to dump that crap on your buds. And as far as cost is concerned you cannot get much cheaper than $1.70 for a gallon of vinegar. it is not good to pass around bad information, over time people might start to believe it as truth.
these plants all seem to like their vinegar.
