The PH of collected rain water will change as it sits, be sure and test it everytime before using. I use Apple Cider Vinegar to lower PH
Riddle, which do you prefer, soil or soilless medium? What are some of the pros and cons of each? Just bit the bullet and ordered a 400watt CMH system and will be following in your footsteps. If anybody is looking for a good online hydro shop, check out thehydrosource.com. It's an eBay store with an extensive catalogue and pricing/shipping is rock bottom. Enjoying the show man, learned alot in your threads.

Just fed em last night after making it rain on monday, they are up to full strength nutes and when I feed I just go a slight run off
I start with 1/4 strength nutes and work my way up, reading the plants needs as I go

I am loving the SunShine Mix, total contol with no worries so far, soil can cause issues over time, I will not be going back. Though I still like soil for nurturing seedlings.

everything I do is about growing healthy plants and maximizing yields, but I do not do hydro, some hydro guys have learned things however by reading my threads

Yours look to love the transplanting. In honor of you.
Here's Mini Matilda before I harvested her. I named the gnome Rumple Resinskin. Couple CFL's and cheap nutes.
Here's two 19 days into flowering. I love these CMH. This 150W is doing great. These 2 go to 300W HPS to finish. The node spacing is noticeably closer here and under my 400W Veg area. Thanks again for showing me these. My 70W in a PC is gonna do great too.
