I’d be concerned about PH? I read vinegar is between 2-3 PH and there are better PH down alternatives, IMHO. What benefit might you foresee?

I have been using vinegar as my ph down. Works really well. Saves me a lot of money and turns into something the plants can use
I was nervous trying it but it works
I also use vinegar to kill weeds and bugs in garden outside
Have a good day

I’ll just say I would never put vinegar on my cannabis plants, I actually use a vinegar and water solution to kill weeds at my house instead of pesticide and it kills them very well! If I were to use anything for acidity it would be lemon juice

Vinegar isn’t a good stable ph down it’ll swing, I use wood vinegar ( not for Ph) different to normal vinegar tho it’s technical name is Activated Char Condensate

It’s recommended to add to well water from the tap. Most well water is a little high in ph which will lower your ph as well as convert your carbonates like calcium which tend to be high in well water and convert it to an acetate which your plant can then readily take up instantly. Plants do not pick up nutrients in carbonate form and instead have to wait for the microbes to break the carbon off. Using an acid like vinegar in small amounts can ph balance your well water as well as convert nutrients from the water into more easily uptaken nutrients by the plant for better growth. You can also make potassium acetate from vinegar and ash. You can make calcium acetate from egg shells and vinegar. It’s a nutrient money saver man!

The dude and Scotty talked about this on the show. It’s an amazing resource in terms of ph down. The plant will uptake the vinegar and it is very healthy. While this is a good ph down baking soda is a bad ph up. Because the bicarbonate in it can lead to a build up and nutrient uptake problems down the road.
