OK--I'm a moron. Instead of adding 12 drops of pH down to my 6 gallon reservoir, I added pH test solution. I'm new at this. Do I need to panic and replace the whole batch?

Thanks!

Ah ok, thought you were referring to pH buffer which is also referred to as pH test solution.

Thanks for the advice! Dumped the reservoir and probably saved 6 WW seedlings.

Love this forum!
