 1/2 cup! Wow!
But lemon juice was the right choice.
Vinegar can cause slime.
As for the Bicarb?
Stinky says no.
Too much sodium screws up the osmotic pressure gradient, or gives 'em the heebie jeebies, or...
Dunno really, but I trust Stinky.
A tablespoon won't kill'em but I stopped Baking in the greenhouse on good advice alone.
Could have left it at 6.0, actually.
Hydro likes a lower PH than soil.
If you are using hydrotron, the PH is likely to creep back up anyway.
No worries, I vote Angelfood.
