5.8 is the hydro sweet spot. Keep in mind, that RW will raise the ph of your solution when it passes through.

I used to soak the rockwool first but it was such a pain to drain the water from so I took Al B's advice and ran the ph at 5.6 the first couple days. Test the water that drains off and see what it's ph is. 5.8 is the magic number.
