I moved Gods Gift and the OG to new black pots with fresh roots organic soil, they've been sitting kinda dry for around 6 hours and im going to flush them tonight. The hps wont come for another week or two, so i hope they can wait that long!


btw, thanks so much pushit for the advice. ill keep my grow log updated!
Anytime. I have a question for you. Why are you buying water from the hydro store? My own curiosity. Sounds like you got test strips for your ph? They will work but ill strongly advise getting a digital ph pen. The strips wont test the runoff properly from what ive read (dont know from experience). If you bought a ph pen(Milwaukee ph 600 on ebay for 20 bucks) and ph up and down you could use your tap water and would save you money in the long run. Plus a bunch of trips to the hydro store. What size pots are you using now and what size are you planning on finishing with?
