You can use cheap sulfuric acid. They even love the sulfur.
In the wrong concentration it will. Be sure to follow the rules which aren’t hard since you’re adding the acid to water. Caution doing the opposite per standard lab rules.Like battery acid. I thought something like that would kill them lol.
Its the cheapest haha.Buy cheaper vinegar :-)

Acid is acid basically.
Aw, I've got sodium bisulphate thats pool ph down but guy at grow shop said not to use that use ph down.Nitric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid are all commonly used in hydroponics.
Well actually I am but wanted a second opinion. If you can't be respectful then keep your opinions to yourself.So it seems to me that the originator of this thread is not familiar with the amazing new invention called a search engine. You can type literally anything into it and get some results to your inquiry.
I would try “Hydro ph down” Or “maybe cannabis ph down”

If vinegar seemed to work you probably dont need ph down. Vinegar does not keep ph stable. It breaks up almost immediately after pouring.
The obvious answer is a stronger acid.
I recently attempted to get a bottle of 1N hydrochloric acid that I use for work (about a dropper bottle full lasts a year or more). The chemical company refused to sell it to me, because I asked to have it sent to my house rather than a business address.
If you can get nitric, phosphoric or hydrochloric from a chemical company, it will be cheaper in the long run, but it will cost up front. Also, all that safety stuff that @Pushrod Monkey said.
Sulfuric is a little nastier, because it is a strong oxidant as well as strong acid. That's why any clothing that gets battery acid on it will get holes in the shape of the droplet of acid that hit it.
I agree with the grow shop guy. It's best to avoid adding sodium.
Acids are only as strong as they are concentrated. I use 85%phosphoric acid but by the time I dilute it down I could do a foot soak in itThe obvious answer is a stronger acid.
