fox farm ocean soil is good stuff thats what my friends use. If you want to keep the ph good read about adding fine dolomite lime to your soil

get a pH test kit... the drop kind can be had for about $10.

neither soil nor CFLs have anything to do with the pH level of your water.

Wal mart has ph testers and decent soil mixes too just don't get anything with a time release fert. Use lime and sulfur to adjust PH levels you should not need to adjust much if you get a decent soil mix.

Lime is a pulverized mineral additive, sulfur is just that sulfur it comes in a powder form as well and will lower the ph of your soil. Regular potting mix should be fine just don't get anything with time release fertilizers and make sure the bag does not look old or poorly stored.

Go to Lowe's and get Sta-Green soil in the yellow package. Nutes are 0.05-0.04-0.03. Mix this 4 to 1 with perlite. You'll need some garden lime as you add nutes, but overall it's cheap and worked fine for me.
