you can buy pH test strips for cheap from a science store or online somewhere
you can also buy pH up and pH down online somewhere
idk if I can list sources but some examples:

the improper pH won't help the plant, thats for sure. since you're in soil, i'd get a mid-range pH tester at any aquarium/fish store (maybe even wal-mart). i got mine at a local fish shop for 7 bucks. good for 200+ tests. stay away from the test strips as even touching them with bare skin can cause deviations of true readouts. the kit i bought has a little vial that you fill to the 5mL mark and add 2 drops of test solution. shake it up, and read the color against the chart provided. there are some ways to adjust pH without buying the "pH up/pH down" stuff. research the boards here and you'll find them, but i'd reccomend getting the real deal.
the mylar emergency blanket might be perfect. they are engineered to keep heat in, so why not?
those 4' fluoros might be worth a look, but i tried 2 of them of either side of my current grow and since removing them (about 2.5 months ago), i've noticed no decrease in growth. couldn't hurt though. all depends on how high your folks will let the electric bill creep up. :jointsmile:

looks sativa to me.
fat leaves, stocky plant usually = sativa
thinner leaves, taller plant = indica
just so you know, sativas usually require a longer flower time.

I think you mean the other way around
Sativas have tall thinner leaves and Indicas have short fat bushy plants
but yea, sativas take longer to flower
