Is Citric Acid Viable for Hydroponic PH Down?

In this video, I put citric acid head-to-head against standard phosphoric acid to see which performs better for pH adjustment in a hydroponic nutrient solution. I used a Master Blend nutrient mix, carefully balancing the pH of two separate solutions, one with citric acid and one with phosphoric acid, before bringing them back to my target of 7.0 with pH Up. I measured starting EC and pH, then planted daikon radish and winter field peas to observe their growth over time. Join me as I reveal the fascinating results! We'll compare plant growth, root development, final EC and pH readings, and even pale cleanliness. The outcome was closer than expected, but it led me to an exciting discovery about using citric acid for my garden irrigation. I'll share why this alternative could be a game-changer for cost-effective pH management. If you have any questions or ideas for future tests, drop them in the comments below!
