Sodium bicarbonate is the ingredient most often used in PH up and is also baking soda. If you buy it as Sodium Bi-carb it's about 2 bucks a pound. If you buy it as PH up it's about 2 bucks an oz.

Use miricle grow, its cheap and has everything you need as far as nutrients. Use little bits at a time until ph is at desired level.
