update. So as of today I have the ph at a consistant 5.9 in the dwc. the normal tap water here runs at about 7.5 so it took a bit to get it down. I have fish in my dwc, im pretty sure that this should do them in so ill prolly not have fish after this... anywho... I am just continueing to spritz the plants a few times a day to keep it moist and also spraying a 50/50 solution of water and root stimulator in the soil. once again.... advise and wisdom are welcome
