Hey Reefer, your plants are looking good just keep an eye on your PH problems. How did you manage an 11.0 PH? For soil it your PH of the runoff water should be between 6.3 - 6.8 to prevent nutrient lock-out. Also do you have any pics of your Flouro cooltube?
11.0 comes from my tap m8 lmao... an yea got them pics for ya my fluro works better than a 200w envirolight... i used 2 have 2 200w envirolights but they suck so i got a 250w hps an a cool tube/// the pic of the light bulbs are the lights im goin to install when i upgrade my grow
lol even though they dvd's but yea they good cause i can move one case at a time an the plants stays close to the light..
i dont have that many dvds..all mine are burned lol but i had alot of old video tapes and thats what ive been using for my veg light ..i used to use them to hold my main plant closer to the light but i have books now haha crazy thing is, i have this small swag plant, two days later i had to add another tape :0
