I will be working on getting those CFL's.

And about the pH, am i able to get a pH up and pH down solution or will that only work with hydro?

And yes i have transplanted my diesel many times. But it is in its final home of a 5 gallon pot.

And should i get an electronic pH pen?

Also, yea i know the blue lights are givong off way too much heat, i've already had an instance where the plant got too close, didnt even touch the light but already burnt.
