Thanks stinky, I will do that. The water I have strait from the faucet is about 7.0, and is about 200 PPM with out nutes. So with the nutes I will be right at 400PPM, and at 7.0 PH. I will try this for the next couple of weeks, and post pics as things progress. I have just been using plain water with out any nutes so far, due to the soil having some already. But now that its taking them in I will start using the nutes I have with the next watering. Hey stinky, does this OG Kush plant resemble your in any way? Also what is the best way to seal that open stem? I have always just left it like that and had no issues, but I dont want top start having issue now so....
