They just hadn't stopped turning yet, but finished this morning.  What 12/12 from seed/cloning and my AG can still be a great use for is sexing my plants! When I first top, I can plop those cuttings into the AG instead of tossing them into the trash can, put them straight to 12/12, and then I'll know which ones are most definitely females while the "real" plants are still vegging. It'll fit right in my closet no problem, whereas my DWCs won't. (Tiniest closets I think I've ever seen in this house!) Also, the DWC's lights are much larger and create heat much easier than the AG does, which again would make the AG a benefit for sexing them. So if it does get hotter than desirable in the closet, it's just for sexing and therefore not a huge deal. So although a couple grams of bud would be nice, it wouldn't be a "crucial" part of my grow aside from determining sex. And if stressed (say from heat in a small closet), then whatever bud I might get off of the little "sex experiments" (lmao) would still be great for cooking.

I've heard/read this a few times elsewhere too, but don't know how much it's recommended by experieced growers in general. Ask a couple of those on RIU who've learned a thing or two about botony if this is legit, even if only for a temporary fix till you can buy proper pH up/down. Hope it is.... baking soda and vinegar are cheap and can be bought with change found in the couch cushions. Not that I've ever had to rely on that at the end of the month!
