Will do that mate thanks for the advice. As for soil temp it's usually around 20ºC(70ºF)

At this stage there is the temptation to over water and over fertilize. You seem to have that under control. Once you have the pH issues dialed in you will reap the rewards.
Will have to adjust the water pH yeah. I thought that 7.4 would be high. As for temps, I installed a thermostat in the room and connected one of those air heaters so ambient temps never go bellow 68º. Now since you mentioned watering/fertilizing, yeah I have avoided it so far. One question though, since I'm only watering like once every 4-5 days as things are now, should I give nutrients in every feeding or still alternate them?

Thanks again for everything guys,
Peace! :hippy:
