Good Morning All. To the chemists out there. Where I am the PH of water is very high 10 +. I use rain water almost exclusivly. I have been using vinager to lower PH but its expensive. I have a hydroponics store here but its a driver. they sell a PH dowm liquid consisting of 25% Nitric Acid and 25% sulfuric Acid. I know it does not add up to 100% but thats the ingredients. I assume the balance is water. It does the job. My question is this- Is 100% Citric Acid going to have any ill effects on my plants? I can purchase a product that is 100% citric Acid in granular form from a pool store. Any input is appreciated.

If you feed your plants 100% citric acid, yes it will kill them.
But if you just use it to lower the pH your plants will be fine.
All I use to lower pH is citric acid.
It doesn't cost me a cent since it grows on trees and I have one right here.
