To be perfectly honest it's one of the reasons I haven't already introduced my brains to the wall behind me, like a long time ago. I'd have to say I'm one of those that's living proof to the benefits to one's mental health.
I started to feel funny about adding pH up/down to my mixes just because someone pointed out that that stuff is some nasty shit that's going into my plants. After I switched back to FoxFarm nutes I started using their Big Bloom, which I hadn't been doing before, and I soon realized that I could mix in all the stuff I wanted and then when I added the Big Bloom it would automatically bring my pH right into the range I wanted. I also use a good dose of ewc in my soilless mix and I've always heard that the ewc will autocorrect the pH level so, feeling like I've got it covered on both ends.
So, ever since my pH meter and up/down solutions have been set aside, I still use them for my cloning machine because it definitely makes a big difference there but, that's the only place I'm using it now.
Oh yeah, and my city/town tap water comes out at 29 ppm, lower than some people's ro water!
Personally, I think I'd put genetics first. At least 3-4 times I've hit what I would call a true keeper and with those plants it seemed you almost couldn't fuck 'em up. This beautiful plant we all love so much is a weed after all, makes sense to me. I've seen them take some pretty brutal shit and still produce and produce even better a lot of the time.
