Citric Acid Trabe – Organic pH Down Regulator

Trabe Citric Acid is the definitive organic tool to lower the pH of your nutrient solution without harming the beneficial life in your substrate. It is a highly concentrated product derived from fruit fermentation, designed specifically to adjust acidity levels naturally, ensuring your plants can access all the food you give them.

Why you need to control pH naturally

Problem: You are buying the best cannabis fertilizers, but your plants show deficiencies, yellow leaves, or slow growth. The culprit is almost always the pH. If the acidity level isn't right (usually between 5.5 and 6.5), the roots simply cannot absorb the nutrients, no matter how much you pour in.

Agitation: Most growers rush to buy a cheap "pH Down," but these are often made of phosphoric or nitric acid. While effective, these harsh chemicals can kill the beneficial bacteria and fungi (mycorrhizae) in your organic soil, destroying the biological ecosystem you've worked so hard to build. Basically, you fix one problem but create a biological disaster in your pot.

Solution: Trabe Citric Acid solves this instantly. It lowers the pH effectively just like the chemical versions, but because it's 100% organic, it feeds the micro-life instead of killing it. It's the safe, natural way to unlock your crop's potential.

Unlock your plants' full potential

This product acts as a key that opens the door to nutrient absorption. By adjusting the water to the sweet spot, you ensure that nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are actually available to the plant. Plus, being a natural acid, it helps clean mineral buildup in your system.

Key features and benefits in a nutshell

• 100% Organic: Derived from natural fermentation, making it completely safe for organic and vegan crops.
• Micro-life Friendly: Unlike mineral acids, it doesn't harm the beneficial bacteria in your substrate.
• System Cleaner: Its acidic nature helps prevent clogging in drip irrigation systems by dissolving salt buildup.
• Versatile: Suitable for soil, coco, and hydroponic setups (though it degrades faster in hydro, so check daily).
• Concentrated Formula: A little goes a long way; you only need a small amount to see results.

How to use it in a few steps

Using citric acid is straightforward, but because it's organic, it works slightly differently than chemical acids. Here is the best way to do it:

1. Prepare your mix: Add all your fertilizers and additives to the water first.
2. Measure: Check the initial pH level with a reliable Adwa meter or drops.
3. Add Citric Acid: Add a very small amount (e.g., 1ml per 10 liters to start) and stir well.
4. Re-measure: Check the pH again. Repeat until you reach the desired level (usually 6.0 - 6.2 for soil).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does citric acid affect the EC (Electro-conductivity)?

It has a very minimal impact on EC compared to mineral acids, making it great for growers who want to keep their salt levels under strict control.

How long does the pH stay stable?

Since it is an organic compound, citric acid can degrade over a few days, especially in recirculating reservoirs. It is recommended to check your pH daily if you store your nutrient solution.

Can I use it during flushing?

Absolutely. In fact, it's ideal for the final weeks because it leaves no chemical residue, ensuring the purest flavor in your final harvest.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've seen so many growers ruin a perfectly good organic grow by dumping harsh phosphoric acid into their tanks. It makes no sense to spend money on expensive bio-stimulants if you're going to sterilize your soil with industrial acids immediately after.

I keep a bottle of Trabe Citric Acid on my shelf specifically for my soil grows. It’s gentle, it works fast, and I've noticed that the plants seem "happier"—the leaves stay perky and the soil smells fresh, not sterile. If you care about the terpene profile and the natural expression of the plant, this is the only pH down you should be using.
