If you want to better your yields and bud thinkness get some real nutes try GH flora series and use regular soil if you do cause MG soil and nutes will kill the planti started seeing buds early april. nope the bulbs are not hot at all when i touch them. for food i used the miracle gro soil with plant food in it and i adjust the PH of the water with PH drops and check it with a little strip and i keep air running through the water that i have sitting in a gallon jug so the water wont get stagnate. and yep there is a fan you just cant see it in the pic cuz its in the corner. should i be using more plant food other than whats in the soil?
