Lemon juice converts pretty quickly and becomes alkaline. Use citric acid like other suggested or even better phosphoric acid to lower pH.

Phosphoric acid has always been my preferred product for any growing media and hydro.

Lately I've been using Pekacid powder form just because I have a container of it. Its basically phosphoric acid with some potassium in dry granular form. I haven't had any issues going on a couple months using it with coco. Dissolves easily. Lowers the pH like phosphoric acid. Takes about half tsp to get 5 gallons to 6.0 pH using MaxiBloom with my water.

I've been trying to source Pekacid for a couple of years in northern Europe. Maybe I'm luckier here in Asia, haven't really tried to find it here yet.

I ran Drip Clean in HPA. It worked really well to keep everything clean like pipes, reservoir walls etc from salt buildup. Thanks you for reminding me! Cheers!
