Bakatare/Flame, is that particular nute ok to dissolve in water and no into the soil?

Lastly, does better safe then sorry = your plants will die on you if ph is not what is it, 6.5-6.8?

I have settled on miracle gro bloom and maxibloom.

If you use veg nutes and your water drops to 4.5 (yes it happens) dead leaves.

If you use a nute that raises it too high (blooms can do it) dead leaves.

Plant's will form deficiencies so fast. Then leaves die.

LOL my bad. Ok so basically...I fill up a gallon jug..let it sit for a few days to get rid of chlorine. I then add 1/4 the dossage of that miracle gro to my water, then PH test it? Then add up or down accordingly right? Then i can use that water to water my plants whenever they need it, until it's empty, then repeat the process?

Great. You two are the absolute best! All that's left is posting a pic of my plant and showing the LST i'm doing...i have 4x 2700k lights with like 1680 lumens in each CFL.

I was just thinking...i have my lights and input/output fans hooked up to the same timer which is currently 18/6. So basically those 6 hours i have no fan blowing air in, but my plant looks good so it doesnt seem to be an issue. But...now that it'll be completely off a full 12 hours a day, i dont know if the lack of air flow will be a problem. My intake fan has a blue LED on it and the led is in an area where I can't over it w/o interfering the the spinning blade, so do you think if i allow the LED to be on it will completely fuck my plant?

wow, this all seems so possible and not expensive. Does ph kits last a long time? I dont have any other seeds and i dont know when i'll get another one since I don't buy anymore because it's too expensive in NJ.

It's not really expensive until you get into it for more than a hobby.
I have seeds from years ago, 300w of CFL's, a big bag of MG moisture control, a bag of perlite, and basically all I have used for nutes is MG and molasses.
3 plants so far for about 100 bucks (most of that was the lights.)
