Thanks alot for that. I just have a few more questions...

1) How do you seal your cabinet (which is located in a room with windows - meaning light is going to get into the room) to ensure no light gets in while also allowing sufficient ventilation?

2) Is fluorescent light ok to use from planting a clone right through to harvest time? Are there any kinds of fluorescent lights i should steer clear from? And also, would i be better off getting fluorescent over an HPS (under the assumption that whatever light i get, it will be used for the entire life cycle)? Are fluorescents cheaper to run?

3) One more question actually. I notice that PH is important, and i often see people saying "adjust your ph". How exactly does one adjust the PH level of the soil?
