Last week I transplanted two clones into my aeroponic (stick Buddy) system.
My RO water has a pH of 7.2. Thinking that nutrient uptake is best at 5.8 pH, I added gh-brand pH Down, and have been chasing 5.8 like the 48 car's been chasing the Cup (with similar results).
But is the water's pH important when no nutrients are present?
After the clones have established some good roots (4 more days?), I'll start feeding them. And before adding nut's I'll flush the system out anyway.
So am I chasing my tail for no real reason?
