Either maybe ph tester along with ph up/down or pearlite? Or is there anything im missing that a limited budget could cover that would help? I will be puttin pictures up in the next week.
Appreciate the High Time.
The smell will burn off. Careful with the sand.
Timers would be useful for both plant and fan. They are inexpensive and very handy, especially when it comes to flowing time. Staggered timing can cause plants to stagnate in growth.
good luck,

Oh yeah, if you can, trash the conversion bulb. I'd stick with HPS for both veg and flower stages. It's my belief and experience that they are more of a gimmic, sales pitch.:thumbsup:
