I have used this Black Magic 8 oz. ph up premium buffer to raise nutrient solution ph for a couple of years. I have found it to be a quality product from the Scotts company. I start my vegetables from seed and check soil ph often. The ph recommended for most plants is 5.5 to 6.5. I use a soil ph test kit for testing. Having the right ph for your plants is very important for good healthy plants.

First off, I did not know this product's purpose until it arrived and I read the label. It is NOT safe around children or pets. On the label: "DANGER: Causes Burns. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. Do not taste or swallow." Its purpose is to adjust the pH for growing hydroponics, a practice I will avoid because I like to grow my greenery in soil. So, if the warnings on the label weren't enough, I am certainly deterred by online research and consulting with the expert at the local county extension office who emphasized the fact that the pH content in the soil here does not need to be adjusted up or down and even if it did it would take gallons, not 8-oz bottles.

This is a review for "Black Magic PH UP", a product made in the US by Hawthorne
Hydroponics. If your wondering who this company is, they are a subsidiary of Scotts
Miracle Gro, a top rated US company we have all heard of. My wife and I have used
this companies products for years.
Black Magic PH UP is used, after initialing testing the PH of your plant, to raise the
PH if required to ensure the plant is absorbing the maximum nutrition. Test using
a PH test kit, purchased separately, should be done before and after this product
is used to ensure a PH between 5.5 to 6.5 is achieved. Levels should be raised in
small increments for best results.
Black Magic PH should be used in small amounts as instructed until the proper PH
is obtained. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and eye protection when using this product
as it can cause burns to the skin and eyes.
This product, along with proper nutrition, really works and you should see a healthy
change to your plants growth, foliage and color in a short period of time. I would recommend
this product for anyone looking for the best outcome of their growing process.

Not as good as expected
Takes 3-4 times the amount of product to raise the ph 1 point per gallon as opposed to other comparable brands but also less expensive that the competitors. Wonder if it is a lack of quality or I just recieved a bad batch?
