i was succesful clonin before kokos pellet and tap water,
thinking was faster clonin time and build 14 place airpump klonin box
and the broblem begings first try tapwater and all but two rot,
next 1ml/l 30% oxygen,nutes only drop and that tapwater
too much oxy everything go yellow and throw away.now last time
little silica,10ml oxy,500mg asperin and ph down that tapwater and day or two there are some slime stalks?i wash klone norm water
change box cover folio,more air space stalks and they can litle move when air spin water.
i but packup klone glass of water what cover folio,i look 3days later and no slime all ok,
why airkloner grow slime and rootrot?and plain water in glass 2-3 weeks nothing but roots,no big but plants stay alive next stage for soil or perlite/vermi mix

Don't use tap. Buy water at the store for clones, if you aren't willing to invest in an RO filter. You can get cheap portable RO filter systems for under $100 delivered.

If it's 8 then it's not pure water. I really think you should stick to filtered water if you want high success in aero.

It's not uncommon for RO water to have a pH of 8-9, even with new filters. When there is nothing in the water it's very easy to swing the pH.
