What kind of test strips? For ingoing, clean water, they are fine. But with the strips, you are not able to properly ph the runoff water. Same thing with those freshwater aquarium test kits. The problem is that they show color-coded results. The tinting of runoff water skews results. Usually not even in the ballpark.

Damn... I should have thought of that. I'll definitely pick up a quality tester for my next grow (going to be a LOT better next time)

How do you determine when pot is dry enough to require more water? I agree with the lighting though. More is better. (up to a certain point, that is) I love my HPS.

I just check the soil with my finger, and if the top 3" are dry I check the weight of the pot to be sure there is no water lingering below that. I can hold the pot up easily with one hand when I water. And i CANT WAIT for my HPS. The government will be paying for it with a chunk of my tax return :thumbsup:

Well there's your problem. No patience, lol. <kidding> <sort of>

Haha, I had to hurry and go pick up a girlfriend of mine. The name's mary jane. :jointsmile::jointsmile:
