thanks for the advice guys, i appreciate it =)

actually its not my first time growing... but ive always been super careful when using fertilizer since i heard alot of negative stuff about overfeeding -- in the past, ive always fed my plants with half strength nutes all the way through and have never had a problem with nute burn (obviously) but my yield did suffer i think.
this time around, i want to see if feeding them a bit more will increase yield.

i dont use tap water anymore, the water is just too hard where i live. i just get bottled water (with a pH of 7) and add a couple drops of lemon juice to adjust pH. seems to work.

anyhow, thanks for all the help! :rastasmoke:
