We don't recommend specific products to use, but potassium hydroxide is the standard. Most products to raise pH will be made of this.

Before feeding, make sure that the nutrient content of the soil is, indeed, depleted before adding nutrients. Feeding when not necessary can lead to nutrient build up or burns. This article will help you with testing nutrient content and pH:
