Organic citric acid..
make water bottles with a ph range on 6,3-6,5.
and make a flush and keep watering with this range of PH.
keeper measuring the soil PHJust because people are over 50 doesn’t mean they know everything.
You can teach a old dog new tricks - But it will still think the old ways are the “best” lolComment

Sulfur, pelleted sulfur mixed into the soil with a bit of pelleted dolomite will balance the soil.
Peat Moss can be cut in to lower PH as it has a PH of ~3.5.
Vinegar or citric acid will give a short lived PH down, for me it lasted only minutes.
Water soluble powdered sulfur can work however if you use perlite it can drop to far to fast. The sulfur mixes with water and with time creates sulfuric acid to do the PH down job.Comment

I have had the same experiences and also applied a soil acidifier. This was helpful but the main thing you need to do is keep your watering solution as close to 6.5 ph as you can. You might lower the watering solution to 6.0 for a week or so.Current Grow: 1 GG4, 2 Hot Cakes, 1 Sweet Gelato Autos
