so here's the story.
I was growing some tomatoes a couple months back when one of my ballast ended up failing...
wait scratch what i just said there
i didn't check the Ph of the soil i was just reading what it said on the bag
I'm still waiting for my PH meter to arrive but until then i can only assume that the nutrients are building up and are being locked out because the soil is to acidic
In the meantime...
i checked the Ph of the soil that I'm using and it says that its meant for plants that thrive with a ph thats between 5.0 and 7.0
here's the soil i bought http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Premier-ProMix-BX-Professional.asp
I only flushed them once and as far as what nutrients I'm giving them, its called botanicare pure blend grow and bloom

I'm not sure if its a combination of light stress and nutrient burn or its just one or the other but its been about 4 days since i flushed my plants and they still haven't recovered from the salt buildup/nutrient burn.
What can i possibly do to help speed up the recovery?
In case anyone would...
sweet!
thanks for the reply mang
i actually found some that should work :D

I'm looking for a green light that does not affect the photo period.
I'm not exactly sure what to look for when it comes to getting a green light
Does the actual light have to be on the GREEN SPECTRUM or will any bulb with a GREEN COATING suffice...
Can anyone tell me how much a KWH cost in my area?
Correct me if I'm wrong but according to my bill i think its 7 cents which seems far to good to be true :D
