PH range for water to mist clones????

Sorry I'm sure there is somewhere obvious this is posted, but a quick search didn't yield any results...

So I'm wondering: what is the optimal PH range for the water used to mist clones in a dome with? I grow in coco, so I always PH my water to the 5.8-6.2 range. Until now, I've been PHing my water the same way that I use to spray my clones with, and it just occurred to me that that range is used for growing in coco, while my clones are in rapid rooters.

So ya, what does everyone think???

5.8ish ph is optimal for Cannabis in general. for the record I miss coco sometimes, but having no waste material really other than root/plant matter is a lot easier to explain to the neighbors :) . You can foliar feed them a very very diluted fert solution, say 1/4 strength of Maxibloom or whatever fert/nutes you use.

I wouldnt recommend spraying plants in a dome!
It would be better to spray the dome, but even that is sketchy!
If you are going to spray something in a low air/light situation you would be best to use an alkaline (high) Ph because mold/mildew dont like it.
My dome is at 99% without spraying.
I have a few cups of wet coco in there and thats it.
The heatmat seems to raise the humidity.
I only keep the dome closed for about 12-24hrs though.
They are usually under lights 3-4 days later
I just use warm tap water that I dont check Ph or EC for the first week.
When the leaves get light I feed them 6/9 once a day in pure coco, or with a mix with a little coco chips
