Really good point. Rockwool (if your using it) has a naturally high ph, this will disipate in the early weeks. Soaking the cubes in neutral water before planting out helps too.
I use a waterfarm converted into a DWC and I find until the roots hit the res and the airstone is switched on that the ph will rise steadily. During this period I ph every 3-4 days to 5.5 and change the res every 8-10. Once the roots start developing in the water culture you may find the ph to...
Ok so Ive been a little lazy updating here sorry.

So very close now. Into the 8th week of flowering and I'm ready to cut despite reports of a 12 week flowering period for the hawaiian snow. Roughly half my pistils have or are turning brown, I inspected the trichs today and depending on the bud site they range from transparent...
Hawaiian Snow, White Rhino, Lemon Skunk Day 43 Flowering
Few more pics today, added another 65 cfl for side lighting this afternoon bringing me up to 370w in total. The weight of the buds and the stretchiness of the plant are making it increasingly harder to get her in and out of the box...
