ill take it, im jus sayin all i wanted was a little advice its my first grow too and im jus curious about it im also using cfl
When soil growing I only PH my water at the start of the grow. I water the plant with un PHed water, test the run off then add a small amount of acid (either lemon, vinegar or PH down powder) to the next time I water to get the run off right. From then on I know the amount I need to add (I use the same container, and make the same proportions each time). I've never had a PH problem doing this.

the temp is PERFECT now, im actually suprised i thought the fan might be a bit to strong, but i think because i dont have an intake , it just takes fresh air out of the cracks at the bottom and along the sides.
i just gave it a bit of water. the top 1.5 inches was quite dry. so i gave it about 400ml . Tomorro ro the day after im going to flush and then give it some fish fertilizer. anyne think thats a bad idea?

my sister droped my light box on one of my plants and it broke the top 6 weeks into veg(topped it) while trying to move it up and that plant grew 3 times as much bud as the plants that went untopped same strain. i hated her for it at the time but in the end i said THANK YOU SO MUCH. I would not flush your plant because It doesn't look like the nutes are your problem, you might cause more problems then you are trying to solve!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see your sorting your venterlation out just let the soil dry out the plant will pick up if you do, then feed it with the fish nuets.
Iv never uesd moss so I dont know what its drainage propertys are like weed likes good drainage.
letting water run from the bottom of the pot is not over watering over watering is when you dont let the soil dry out to 30% before next watering, the roots need oxygen.
I use a moisture meter you get a more of a true moisture level of the soil from top to bottom, only cheap from any gardening store.
As for ph most feeds will lower the ph at full strength, hfig got the right idea.

i wish we had a gardening store up here. it would be so nice to have a moisture meter!
im really going to let it dry out over the next couple days!! then i shoul dbe good to go. Moss really holds moisture well. i think i should have used less
