What PH should I keep my water at?

Hey guys. I have done a ton of research about this, should I keep my PH for my clones at 5.5? Veg and Flower around 5.8 to 6.0? A lot of mixed information out there.

I'm a super extra beginner around here and even I laughed at 'water'. But then, we all grow in water in some way or another, right? ;)

Probably the best question would be before you became a professional, how did you pH your water for clones previously?

Clones or Veg or Flower in hydro then you need to supply the solution at the correct pH range for uptake in hydroponics. 5.5-6.2 within this range is fine.

whenever testing your reservoir to monitor changes in EC and pH as long as the pH stays within that range there is no need to change it and allowing the pH to drift between those ranges is better for uptake anyway.

keep it between 5.7-6.2 in any situation. All nutrients are different both chemical (mineral) and organic. I'd follow whatever nutrient line your usings recommendation.

Getting clones to root doesn't require nutrients. What function does PHing clone water serve?
