Since you are using humus, definitely get that pH meter just to make sure.

Thanks for the advise. The ph meter is on the way but what does humus have to do with it? I've got the fox farm 3-pack on the way also and I think I will make two big batches of water. I've got a few large rubbermaid storage containers in the garage, each are about 30 gallons or so. I'll make one of them just water with a solid 6.5 ph and the other with whichever nute I'm currently using mixed in and a ph of 6.5. If I keep these bins sealed will the ph be stable? I'm no chemist but that's probably a dumb question anyway.
Oh, I've got 2 widow skunk seeds germing so I think I'll throw them in with the rest soon. Once they're in soil I'm hoping they will keep up with, or even surpass, what I already have(since their growth has been so stunted) Will 1 month vegging be enough? I'm trying to harvest in mid April and I'm less concerned with quantity than quality.
