ok on the spraying advice, there is no on/off switch for my ballest, so just unplug the fcker eh?


What is your thought on a 18/6 ? would there be any harm in switching ?


Nutes, Suggestions? ( have the lucas formula, can i feed my older plants? )
To do the soil run-off test yes let extra water drain out the bottom and test that. I think that is best but sticking meter in soil works too for soil pH.

Yes pull the plug on the ballast and always let it cool for 15-20 minutes before plugging back in.

Yes you can go to 18/6

I thought Lucas was more for hydro then soil.
