 hydro ph for soil

would it be devastating to a plant to give a soil seedling water from my other hydro plants?

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

the pH would most likely be too low. That and a seedling doesn't need nutes for a while. Your hydro water (I swear I'm not being redundant) is probably too hot and sour.

hmm, now those clones you should be able to give a hydro solution to because they are in rockwool, a hydroponic medium.
I have been doing just that and have not seen curling or anything but nice green growth and flat leaves. pH @ 5.5-5.7, 1.5ml/gal Advanced GMB and Cal Mag, which is a light feeding every watering.
Maybe you're not letting them dry out enough?
But if you bring the pH up you should be able to use most hydro nutes in soil.

no I am not! last time the rook wool dried out too much and clones died, but will try to dry it out a little. Thanks man!:thumb up: those clones were in flower mode when I took them. 3 weeks later flowers are retracting and new growth are showing up.

you probably want to give them just a little water once a day, enough to wet the bottom of the tray but not really over-fill all the grooves. That's what I've been doing, or waiting for the tray to just get dry. If the cubes are light and dry I will pour the water over the cubes.
