Clowning ph water? First feed?

I took some cloans and 7 days in. Should I ph leaf spray? Also in the doc I followed says I should light feed soon. What % of fox farms and what ones of grow big tigger bloom and big bloom should I feed?
 
I've read mixed stuff on pH'ing foliar spray and from what I can gather it appears to be bro science. Anything out of the tap should be fine.

What medium are you rooting your clones in? It is recommended to match the pH of the medium when cloning, so if in coco 6.0

Nutes should be flower nutes until roots have developed, low N is key and no stronger than 0.3 EC. Keep light to a minimum so if outdoors no direct sunlight. Window sills out of direct sunlight seems to work pretty well indoors. 24hrs light works also but low levels, above 75 PPFD but below 125 PPFD to start if you can accurately measure it.

Rooting hormone for softwoods (purple) seems to help but it must be applied immediately on taking the cutting to help avoid problems. Temps of around 20 to 25⁰C and use domes if in soil or coco.

Great info and thanks! I’m doing soil so will ph for that.
fox farms suggest 6tsp per gal so I halved it
 
Tell me what fox farms actually says please re nute strength?

Don't use half strength, use 0.3 EC

Most feed charts will have a clone recommendation and CFL is your friend for seedlings and clones, but one must keep them really close "couple of inches" I mix daylight and warm. Others things to consider a Humid Dome, Misting and start the clone out in a rapid rooter plug in a 1 cp fab pot "with medium" is extremely reliable.
