Rapid rooters ph

I had left over premoistened rooters, So I put them in a gallon size Ziploc bag with some ph'd water. The problem is that I wasn't accurately adjusting the waters ph. I haven't checked the ph yet but I know at the time I stored them I was off by a point to 2 points high (alkaline). Now I'm going to wring out a couple of rooters and test the waters ph. My guess is that it will be between 7.5 and 8.5.

If my guess is correct, I will gently squeeze most of the water out. Fill a tray with ph'd water and let the rooters take up and soak in 6.3 water. I'll squeeze and repeat until the water doesn't fluctuate, much like the process for rinsing coco.

My question is, does this sound good? Should I just discard and replace? Not sure why I'm questioning myself, seems logical but I'm second guessing (probably due to the simplicity of the solution) lol.

After writing this out and rereading it, sounds textbook. But I already wrote it out so what the heck. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Morning Calikid, I'm still using the same old RRs, I've had for a while, and i don't do anything but wet them with PHed water at 6.3-6.5.
But I make sure my soil that the roots grow into after a day or two in the rooters is the right ph. The roots aren't in those rooters long.
 
I add voodoo juice to my root riots (very weak mind you) with PHed water, DAAS is right though they are only in root riots by themselves for 2 or 3 days just long enough for the roots to stick out the RR, Then mine either go into coco(photos) or kind soil(Autos) I used to put them in 1 gallon pots but find they do better if I plant them in there forever pots
