Since this is is my first time cloning with an aero cloner(Botanicare). The only additive I am using in the water is Clonex at the recommended dilution. I had a few questions that haven't quite been answered by my research:
1. What should the pH of the solution be after it's mixed? I've heard 5.8 is best but people seem to differ on this.
2. Is it all right to use the pH down that I got in a fish tank testing kit? Due to a mishap, I will not have a proper ppm/pH meter or actual plant pH down until next week.
3. I am using a 180 watt LED from GLH at 24" away on a 20/4 light cycle. Is this too much light/too intense, and is the distance and timing correct? If it is too much light, what could I switch to in the way of a CFL or something easily obtainable (maybe home depot or petco)? I don't have access to a grow store and all the CFL's I've checked out in local stores seem to be 2700K which is flowering color temperature.
4. The ambient humidity in the room as about 55% because I have a humidifier and fans going, do I need to mist the clones at all in these conditions?
