Illusion, I'm sorry that I made you feel bad. I know everybody has to learn their stuff for the first time at some point. My rant is not at you in particular. It's just that I hear the same thing over and over. You have a good excuse, but most people say something like "I can't afford to buy a PH test kit at this time, but I've got some G-13 seeds that I urgently need to get going and into my Rainforest, and then into my NFT system with dual 1000 watt lights. How can I get around checking the PH of stuff?"

Cart before the horse, baby.

And just so you know, there are many strengths of PH up and down, so when you tell us you added a capfull or something and ask if that's OK, there's not really a way to answer your question. I just bought a gallon of down, and it's 10 times (I think) stronger than my previous brand. If you could tell us the strength of what you used there would be a better chance of getting an answer, but even if it happened to be the same strength as what I've had experience with, I'm not sure I could answer your question. Anyway, a little FYI 4U.

Great, now I feel like a bully. I'm sorrrrry (in a Pee Wee Herman voice). I was in a bad mood and not feeling myself when I stumbled across this thread, and ended up sounding more harsh than I prefer. Forgivsies?
Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on . Soak rockwool without knowing PH? Is there any way I could soak rockwool without knowing the PH is 5.5? For instance... is there a bottled water company that has a PH of 5.5 ? Rating: 5
