what is the best ph# for the water to be.

what is the best ph# for the water to be after u add the veg firts.
this is for a clone I have.

I just mixed some water and veg ferts with some cal-mag+. the ph came out to 6.5

I havent changed the water yet. I wanted to ask if that is an ok ph to have for a clone in dwc .
she has had 1 inch roots for around 5 days or so now.

wanted to make her a mother plant.:D

thanks for the help.:thumbsup:

for DWC it can range from 5.5-6.5

depends on the strain I believe

the clone is from 1 of my 2 outdoor plants.
this clone is from the hawaii skunk plant.

I keep my mom in soiless mix but a veging female in drip I keep at 5.8 to 6.0 and when blooming my girls I go for 5.5 to 5.8 max.

just for info sake in 10 litres of tap water after adding my DNF it takes about 1.5 full eye droppers to drop my ph to these levels.

Heres a chart you might want to take a look at....:thumbsup:

thanks for that it helps.:thumbsup:

For hydro I like 5.6-6.0 and can't say I've ever had troubles at that ph. I personally think 6.5 is too high for hydro.

Cool chart Treetops!! :thumbsup:

Weedhound,
Sorry about the implication that you had misread the chart...I reread all the posts...and saw what you were referring too....This old stoner apologizes....
Thanks
Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

Centering at 5.8-6.0 and allowing swing ~0.2 pH points off center works well.
