Changed the soil to a manure, humus, peat (i know not the best, but agway was out of the manure/humus only mix so i had to go with the one that had peat mixed in) and perilite mix that consists of 2:1. I have already seen a difference in how the plants are doing. The pH of the water at first going IN was 7.1 - 7.2 and the water coming out was around 7.4. I have now with the new soil of the water coming out of 6.1 - 6.5. The growth spurt that i have seen since doing this change is amazing.

I want to take this time to personally thank those that have given me advice on this grow since it is my first time (Stinkyattic - as usual your advice helped me *bow*)

My next question is about lighting, i have seen the post where there was a compare to the 24/7 that had about 27cm of growth in i think 24 hours and the 18/6 had a growth of 39cm (this was root growth and i cant remem if that was a hydro or not). Does the amount of light have a direct effect on the development of roots and stress on the plants? Would this also make it easier for getting into a situation like i was before where i was in lockout?

any advice is greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
