mine is 7.4out of the tap. and if i let it sit overnight it goes up. I did my whole first run in soil with no ph meter like a kook and it worked out fine. As soon as i went to a soilless medium i noticed they dont drink worth a shit if you dont ph. go buy yourself a nice meter before you start your run, it will be a world of difference. i got a hannah meter that just chills in my resi all the time and shows ph and ppm. it was about 200 bucks, well worth it though

like i said before. be careful to know who your buying clones from in the IE. you maybe getting shwag and not knowing it. i had 8 girls last run that someone told me were one thing, turned out they were booboo specials. gave them bomb ass nutes and took care of them like they were my own.. and they shit on me, with nugs that i wont even smoke. Dont let the same thing happen to you lol
thats not true... I actually stopped PHing using perlite and my results have gotten better.

so your saying... 8.1 ph is going to make his plants more healthy? please explain this to me
i'm not saying that at all...but most nutes have ph buffers where it puts it to the correct ph if ur not over nute'n it... I was always PHing at 5.8-6 for soilless and 6.3-6.6 for soil and after i stoppd phing there hasnt been any problems with too much this or too little that... i fill up a gallon jug 7.0 and add my nutes to it, shake and feed..

that may work for you.. but this guy is having ph problems for sure and i dont think the whole "looks good to me" theory is going to get him the results hes looking for in a 4800w grow. just sayin.

Just a suggestion but get a board and mount all of your ballasts and the controller on it, then hang that. All nice and neat and in the same spot.
The cords on the hoods and the cords for the ballasts aren't long enough to have them all in one place at the moment so each ballast will go on that wall across from each set of lights....and the only other control I have is the co2 controller and that will be going in the corner with the bottle. Trying to have as little wire running across the room as possible.

looking nice phish thats a hell of a flower room, everything going good for the little babies in veg?
Well 14 of the clones are surviving and looking awesome....11 of them look like complete shit. I don't know if it's something I did or if the root system just wasnt ready to be thrown in soil and hit with nutes on some of them. It mainly affected the skywalker OG and headband.
