my seeds and rapid rooter question

[scottcc5s]

Have my seeds going just over a week now in rapid rooter cubes, couple of questions.

1) Up to now have been using distilled water....OK now to switch to tap water?

2) If OK for tap water now, what PH level to keep water at?

3) When I see plenty of roots is it OK to just take the plants/cubes and put them directly into my ebb and flow buckets with hydroton?

Thanks for any feedback :)

1) Should be but make sure you check ppm and ph of tap so you know what you might be dealing with.
2)5.5 - 6.0
3)Yes

Thanks, will check PH and PPM. My two cloning efforts failed so way behind and do not want my seeds to get screwed up.

welcome to my latest troubles. I had no problems last time getting seeds to sprout nor have I ever had problems cloning, but this time around, I forgot to PH and to those little guys I think it's akin to murder. Don't forget the PH and your PPM's should be very low. The distilled water had no nutes, obviously, but tap water does and likely you will find your PPM to be around 200 to 250 or so. That's plenty high for another week or so of pure tap water in my opinion. I would also suggest letting the water sit out over night and aerate as best you can to remove the chlorine from your tap water.
