There is no set amount that can be predicted, as everyone’s water is different. It is going to depend on the water you are using. You should always check the pH with a meter. Check-> adjust, check → adjust until it gets in range.

When I used rain water and either FF Trio or Advanced Nutrients Iguana I needed to add PH Up. When I use my well water I need PH down.

It depends on how much of a buffer is in your water. If there’s a very low PPM level, literally less than a 1/16 of a teaspoon might get you in range. If your PPM level is around say 850, it could take a teaspoon, but it also depends on what’s making up that PPM level. Some minerals have more buffering ability than others. So basically, go slowly and use very small amounts until you find the sweet spot you’re looking for.
