I planted these clones in FF Ocean 10 days ago and have only given them distilled water. What can cause them to have a PH under 5? Also is there any household items or Walmart items (24hrs) that I can correct this with? Thanks
 
That sounds really weird. I would expect to water to slightly raise the ph, not drop it below 5. What are you measuring it with? Your ph meter may need calibration. What does it say the ph of the water is?

As for quick fixes, walmart should have some aquarium ph adjusters, but i personally would never trust them on my babies. I only use ph up/down made specifically for hydroponic applications. You can find some on ebay pretty cheap.
