I am what Rizome calls a "Marley Type" ~25g's a week and I'm not going to make it to harvest time due an unfortunate event. I am outdoor farmer, that needs to dable in the complexities of growing in a fabricated enviroment, in a third world country.I am growing in an artificial soil composed of peat(40%) porous mineral(40%) the ballance made of leucerne(legume forage-alfalfa almost), cotton seed and cotton seed hulls all which are ground finely. and limestone, which leads me to my inquiry. I mixed this about a week ago, and my litmus tells me close to ph8. Is this because my limestone has not reacted with the peat yet, or did I overdo the limestone? My plants look so funny with some light green, some dark, some tall, some tiny. They are all different seeds from everywhere, and yes I mixed the soil very well. The limestone was locally gathered and pulverized by myself. I am having difficulty gathering a runoff sample that is coveted, because the plants are in 25kg gunny-knapp-burlap-wtf you call em sacks. What would be a non-comercial(viniger, stomach acid) ph down?
G-d bless you, and those among you.

I have another qestion- I'ts about 15c in here(no heat), and I am running a 400w hps, and I was curious what optimal soil and air temps are. The search feature is very difficulte to use in respect to these figures. This light uses almost all my available electricty.

Lemon juice will work better than vinegar.

I have sulfur, can I use sulfur dioxide, iron sulfate, or some other compound that can easily be rendered from the stuff that will have more alkilinity.
