Cheap ph up?

Hi,

I've searched the thread for a cheap ph up, but haven't been able to find anything since the search engine doesn't take "ph".

Anyway, I'd like to know what you all use for ph up. I'd like to know if there is a common (and inexpensive) substance for raising ph that I can use in a soil or hydroponic application.

TIA!

I use potassium hydroxide. The brand I use is Nutrilife. You can get it at any local hydroponics store. It's about $20.00 (Cdn.) for 4 litres which actually lasts a long time 'cause you don't have to use very much since it's highly concentrated.

I'll go with XMD.......$3.50 for a 50 lb. bag of horticultural lime. Can't get much cheaper than that.
