I was wondering if I should add lemons/other citrus fruits, just buy a bag of some and add to my soil mix, and even make like a rind tea or something and juice to add as a nute in feeding? I want the best tasting cleanest bud ever, and Matt Rize tells about citric acid lowering ph, which I need too, so what do you think?!

I think this would be a bad idea.

Why do you feel lemons in the soil would effect, or improve upon the taste of the bud, and why do you feel that you need to lower the ph of the soil? Have you had it tested?

no. just because the water and nutes are always like 8. and because some reallt clean bud has the fresh clean smell of theinside of a lemob

Adding stuff (anything) to the soil will not change the taste of your weed. That's genetically coded.

If you're using a peat based soil it's naturally acidic to begin with. On top of that, any nutrient that you use... wether from a bottle or otherwise will have a net acidic effect on the soil. At least that's been my experience. That needs to be countered with liming agents. Dolomite lime, oyster shell flour, etc.

IMO, lemons will cause more harm than good.

LOL I just asked this same question on RIU, same response. I think we're onto something with the citric acid, it says so in a book
