So I woke up this morning and went outside and there was my 2 400w hps fixtures.(later I will use these)

I am in a small city and I think our water is from the missouri river.

I was planning on fixing the light leak this weekend when I get paid(finally). I was thinking of putting sum strip on 1 of the bifold doors to overlap the other 1 when it is closed to prevent that leak.
Now in regards to PH'ing: Would it be easier to test the nuted water (plain water) or soil? I have never Ph'd. Sum help please.

Hey stinkyattic, where do I get those indicators? I am going to need PH up and PH Down still right? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
