Is it safe to lower the water PH with freshly squeezed lemon juice? Tap water is at 7.5, I am thinking of adding lemon juice to bring it down to 6. 5.

What nutrients to get?
Hi! I want to buy additional nutrients which can be used for both soil+hydro. So far I got my eyes on Ghe's Flora Micro, FloraGro, FloraBloom and Calcium Magnesium. The store also has Hesi Root-complex which I believe is good. Any other important nutrients I'm missing? Thanks!

How much do you feed them extra-PK with Biotabs ?
I use Biotabs : Mycotrex, Bactrex, Orgatrex, Startrex with a light mix soil and light water (0.08 to 0.1 ec). Some people told me I shouldn't put much PK 5-8 because they easily burn. How much and how often would you feed them PK ? I use blumats with plain water in 6.5L pots, thx
