pc stealth box and crapload of lowlife seeds

first off, im a long time reader and a first time poster. im 26 and recently invested in a pc grow case . i just wanna say thanks for everyone on here with their knowledge and information on growing, trust me ive absorbed alot from you guys.

ok so i have automatic white russian auto hindu kush auto poison dwarf and some freebies.. anyone with info on these particular strains please feel free to drop some knowledge..

ok my case, my very small grow case ... ok with my my 5 litre container im looking at about maybe a foot of height to work with..very tight i know..at first im doing 1 plant at at a time hey i never tried before so y germ 30 seeds together and fuck all them up? lol..

i have alot of basic questions like... ph?ing my water is this really necassary if using poland spring water?

umm.. i picked out a organic miracle gro potting mix after opening the bag this shit is real chunky like big pieces of hard shit in it anyone familiar with it? i think i might settle with a peat moss mix i seen that looks real nice...

what else? man theres so much im kinda high im sure hit will hit me soon lol

o ya i have 4 26 watt daylight bulb for veg and 4 27 watt 2700k for flowering.. and guys i understand i wont harvest pounds im lookin for some good weed that i grew myself and can be proud of... thanks for reading my ramblings

one love

Hey autoflowa
Short answer is that ph is pretty important. Below 5.5 or above 7.5 most nutrients are unavailable to the plant. The bottled water is likely to have it's ph written on the label but that isn't the whole story. I start with ph 7 tapwater and after adding nutes it's down below ph 4.
MG organic doesn't seem to have any added nutes so you will need some. You should be able to get by with fruit/flower nutes as you are using auto's. Buy some perlite or vermiculite and add 30 - 40% to the mg for best results.
My experience with Lowlife isn't great. I bought 5 feminised white russian and got 3 boys and 2 lemon skunks, but the smoke was ok.
Good luck with the grow.

thanks for the info.. what is the easiest way to check ph? like is it a soil ph kit? or do you have to ph the water? and how the hell do you ph water?.. forgive me after all i am a newbie! And dam those lowlife results are making me nervous although i bought regular seeds not feminised. if anyone else has experience with lowlife seeds please let me know, i havent heard alot about them hopefully they are good

wait a minute .. i kinda just caught that.. you bought 5 white russians and got 2 lemon skunks? wtf they didnt send the right seeds?? id complain yo especially with 3 boys! tell them to send you more or your money back or sumthin dam bro sorry to hear that!

I tried the complaint route but lowlife appears to be quite well named. We live and learn. Hope you get better luck.
For a ph testing kit for water just go to the fish section of a decent pet store.

where di get something for the soil ph? is it expensive ? what is the EASIEST AND QUICKEST way to check soil ph? cool im definitely gonna grab that ph water kit thanks v12 for the help

and is soil easily kept a 6 or 6.5ph this is the only thing holding me back ugh

TBH I've never checked the soil ph. Unless the soil states on the pack that it is for acid or alkaline loving plants you should be fine just taking care of the water.
If you are concerned it may be wrong then you could check the ph of the water after it has passed through the soil and adjust the water ph to compensate for any problem.

autoflowa,

you're heading down the same road i've taken for the most part
my grow is pretty much a micro, i'm using 3 26w cfl's, so that's real micro
i'm using MG organic too, treating me real good for the moment, 3 weeks into 12/12 of a nl#5
the cheapest way to check for ph is strips or drops, both about $5
you ph the water going into the pot, and the flow out
i haven't been able to ph my outflow, water was too muddy, so good luck in your grow!
