Preffered Acid for Adjusting Substrate Ph?
    #19228650 - 12/04/13 08:20 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I've got some Ghost Fungus that I'm ready to spawn to sterilized wood pellets + wood chips. I'd like to make several bags with varying Ph levels. Acidic Ph levels, down to 2.5-3.0 if possible.

I've got some HCl and some Acetic Acid, also some Citric Acid. I'm curious if anyone has a preferred acid and method for adjusting substrate Ph?

Any help is appreciated!

Kinda curious about this too.  Citric sounds safest, but :shrug:

Wondering what others have used.

there's some threads back there, look it up.  the one i remember, it gave the myc a head start but didn't make a difference in the long run. 

it is a long spawn run/colonization time.  took my grain at least a month, and maybe 2 for the bags.

I'm not growing ghost fungus, just curious in general, what did you use for acidification?

If you want a longer-term buffer, use sulfur powder.  Citric acid works well too.

I used 1 cc of Phosphoric Acid for my Shiitake grow that I bought from a hydroponic store.
Not much pH down I know ,but phosphates are actually a good fertilizer for most plants as
well so I figured what the heck. I would stay away from hydrochloric acid though. I didn't test
the pH of my sawdust this time around. But next time I will be much more scientific about it.

Lemon juice is full of citric acid. I'm not sure about the other stuff present though.
If you try lemon juice, Do buy a few lemons and squeeze them yourself. Don't buy
sugar laced grocery store juices.

Just FYI I decided to run with Citric acid. I would like to try the straight sulfur powder at some point, but I had the citric acid on hand.
