with MG you have to watch out for how much water your useing. It holds water well, stick your finger down into the dirt b4 you water. make sure it's dryer then 70 year old vagina.
Everyones going to hate on MG but i had great success with MG i just used distiled water throu the hole process, right b4 i flowered her i flushed the shit out of it waaalaa that's it.
I really wouldent use that 1000k it may be to low. How many plants you planning on. U atleast want 100 watts per plant. a 26 watt cfl=100 watts but you dont go by what it= so u would need 5 cfls=130watts thats for flowering tho.
I live is central Illinois thats just regs but for "DRO" or good grade 20 gram 50=1/8, 300=OZ. they also have what the call "MIDS" what about you guys ever heard or "MIDS"
