Plagron Lemon Kick – Organic pH Down for Optimal Nutrient Absorption · 1L

Plagron Lemon Kick is your go-to organic pH down for precise, plant-friendly pH control that boosts nutrient uptake and supercharges growth without harming your soil’s living ecosystem.

Are you losing nutrients because your pH is off?

Even the best fertilizers fail if your pH is out of balance. Too high, and your plants can’t absorb key nutrients—leading to deficiencies, stunted growth, and weak yields. You’ve fed them right, but they’re still yellowing or underperforming. Frustrating, right?

Ignoring pH doesn’t just waste nutrients—it wastes your time, money, and harvest potential

Every day with unbalanced pH means slower growth, lockouts, and missed opportunities. You’re pouring effort into your grow, only to see lackluster results. And if you’re using synthetic pH adjusters, you might be killing the beneficial microbes that make organic growing so powerful in the first place. That’s a double loss: poor performance and damaged soil life.

The solution? Switch to Plagron Lemon Kick—organic, effective, and microbe-safe

This isn’t just another pH down. Lemon Kick uses natural citric acid to gently bring your nutrient solution into the ideal 5.5–6.5 range, ensuring maximum nutrient availability while protecting your soil’s microbiology. It’s the smart choice for growers who want control without compromise.

Most pH down products use synthetic acids that can damage soil life. Lemon Kick uses citric acid, making it safe for organic grows and microbial-rich substrates.

Can I use it with any nutrient line?

Absolutely. Lemon Kick is compatible with all nutrient brands and types, including mineral, organic, and homemade teas.

Is it suitable for hydroponics?

Yes, it works perfectly in hydro, coco, and soil systems. Its clean formula won’t clog drippers or lines.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve tested nearly every pH adjuster out there—from industrial acids to DIY hacks. When I switched to Lemon Kick, it was a game-changer. I run a mixed setup: some living soil, some coco, and a hydroponic test rig. Lemon Kick works flawlessly across all three. I love that I don’t have to worry about killing my mycorrhizae or trichoderma. I use it drop by drop, and it’s incredibly precise. No more wild swings. My plants are greener, healthier, and I’ve cut deficiency issues by 90%. If you’re serious about organic growing, this is non-negotiable. It’s pricier than basic pH down, but the results—and the life in your soil—are worth every penny.
