My ph levels were way above 8.0 so I did a little search, turns out that if you mix some lime juice with water you can bring it down. I ended up testing it and sure enough, it dropped down to somewhere between 6.0 and 6.5. I used it to water the them. I set the 400w light to 12/12, on at 7am and off at 7pm. I'm almost done, now, I probably won't start the new thread until sometime tonight
