I am not familiar with the clay ball medium. Here are the correct PH's you want to shoot for: Hydro- 5.5-6.1 Soil- 6.3-6.8 Not sure about tds Filtered water is great If the cutting are seedlings keep them a good 18-24 inches away for a week or so. 600 watt HPS will veg plants very nicely Indica sativa is your choice. Depends on how you like the high For least smelly stay away from anything with skunk in the name. Northern Lights is a great strain with very little smell. For veg the lights should be on either 24/7 or 18/6. With that powerful; HPS I would use 18/6. For flower stick with 12/12. No exceptions. You can't really give yourself more females. A UV bulb is no good. Don't use it to grow. Oh, and welcome to GC.
