I don't have an electronic PH meter so I use one of those cheap ones that use the vial and drops of some kind of chemical. Anyways its in the 6 range.
My tap water is PH 7 and after I filter it through my Brita, it's in the 6.5 range and then after I add the nutes, it drops to around the 6 range. But honestly, I don't even test the PH anymore since I know what's going on with my procedure and there is no way in hell to stabilize the PH. The PH is going to have wild fluctuations no matter what you do so why worry about it if your plant is looking healthy. Let your plant show you that there's a PH imbalance, not some stupid meter.

I hear what you're say dude, but if the PH is not at the correct levels, it can easily lock out essential nutes, especially nitrogen. The trick is the get the PH to a level that allows the nutrients bond to the roots and become easily available for the plants to consume...
But I'll tell you what, I will try what you've mentioned. I will set up one my clones when it is big enough they way you do. and I will not mess with PH until I see the plant telling me that it is unhappy.
