I do suggest getting a small vegetative area. Getting some seeds that aren't autos and starting mothers. In 2 months you could have an army of clones. Take one or 2 of your lights and use them for veg. 12/12 from clone will give you as much or more weight than an auto and cost a lot less electricity.

I can't say I have heard any good stories about jail in a third world country. Best of luck to you and I hope it is worth the risk. I wouldn't show anyone your grow room no matter how much you can trust them.

Also remember the power bill, I don't know how it works in your location but power companies in some locations can get a reward for turning in suspected grow operations to law enforcement.

thanks!! one question, Im preparing my soil mix for my 42 plants right as the seeds arrive, when I put 6.0 ph water on my mix, the ph in the soil goes up to 6.9 and stays there, so I'm experimenting and if I pour 5.5 ph water since the beginning of my mix, the ph stays at 6.6-6.7.
so my question is, should I lower my water ph at 5.0? so I can keep a better ph in the soil? will the nutrients suffer any changes if I pour them in 5.0 ph water??

Help please I really want optimum soil for my baby so I can get as close as I can to high quality.

I have GR nutrients and cal-mag

Well, I have been a proponent for adjustive feedings, having a quality pH meter that reads soil and liquids is key though. What meter are you using to check the soil pH? If it's one of those with the thin metal probe and an analog meter then it's not to be trusted. If it's a bluelab soil meter then you can trust it.

As to the adjusted feeds, I feed what I have to in order to achieve the rootzone pH I am after. The lime in the soil is likely what you are fighting and this will change over time so always keep checking, you should note the corrective feed will need to be less and less. With promix I have to adjust the feeds for the first few weeks and then it finally relents, with the Berger BM6 I am fighting it the whole grow.

right now I'm using the yellow one, the other one I received yesterday I just haven't bought the batteries, I'm checking the run off ph, I seen in a youtube video that it is key so thanks so the info so thats why I bought this one, it cost like 35 dollars.
Nice! I don't know how to use those nutrients yet.. so can I lower my ph water to 5.0? when the time comes in week 2 I will start feeding the plant respecting 300 PPM, and gradually increase it..

question is, nutrients with 5.0 ph water will still work if the run off of my pots is 6.5?

the PH of the soil is what matters right?

also my friends sorry to bother but I need to know, my mix has compost, coco fiber and perlite, I had to cancel the humus because it raises my PH higher than 7.2, will that do any harm? having no humus
