I am also in the process of lowering the ph from 7.5 to 6, in case that changes your advice.

Most people use CaNO3 with a high K fertilizer. I have not tried every method out there of course.
There are a few of us here, and I also have local farmer friends who follow Hydro Gardens methods, you can find that info in our threads. Get some Phosphoric Acid to drop your pH
