I'm definitely getting me some HID lighting, but it's going to be a 400W Switchable MH/HPS. I just have to get the money together first...

As for how things are going, I still have the remaining 3. Two of which are the MindBinder, the other being LR2. I transplanted them a few days ago and they seem to be growing much much faster.

Quick question: If the Soil pH is 5.8, would it be safe to use water with a pH of 7.0 or even 7.2 to bring the soil pH up?

And as I said before, I don't plan on updating this log anymore. As soon as I get my new beans (on the way), new lighting (saving money), and a nice hydro setup (DIY Style), I'll get another log going. There's so much information on this site for DIY stuff, I honestly love this place.

Ok, another question: This was a soil grow. I honestly have become tired of dealing with soil because it's, 1) Messy to deal with inside (inside is the only option I have) and 2) Three gallon pots take up entirely too much space.

So, finally, the question: What are the cons of a hydro setup?

(I did no searching before I typed this, so feel free to call me lazy) :smokin:
chadsvb Reviewed by chadsvb on . LowRyder #2 - CFL - Grow Log Thanks for dropping by. I've started germinating 4 LR2 seeds using a wet paper towel. After a couple days, they should be ready to put in the dirt. I intend on using this log to track my progress, so hopefully I'll have enough time to include day-to-day info. When I get a little more time, I'll list my specs (Lights, Fans, etc...) and upload some pictures. And don't worry, I'll be asking plenty of questions. So, if you're full of knowledge, consider me your friend. ;) QUESTION I'm Rating: 5
