Oh- pick up a pH test kit that includes pH up and pH down.
pH problems are relatively easy to fix. But if your hardness is too high, you might have to look for an alternate water source. Bleh.

Rusty, the college town where I did my time has a place called Bueno y Sano that has the best burritos I've ever had. The chicken with roasted red peppers and yoghurt is to DIE for. *drool. Then I cooked line at a different burrito bar for a while that was also totally killer- the owners were adamant about supporting local agriculture so the ingredients were awesome. For example, the sour cream and cheddar cheez both came straight from Cabot in Vermont. Doesn't get much better than that. And the peppers and tomatoes are supa fresh from the CT river valley. I have a HUGE burrito 'thing'. Their Thai peanut-chicken-cilantro burrito with lime wedges will blow your mind. DAMMIT cafeteria food sucks. I need to quit my job and cashcrop so I can avoid it.

Whats topping and pruning? is it just cutting off the main cola or branches so they turn into 2 so u have a shorter bushier plant? 3. Is it possible to do an entire grow without using Rating: 5
