theres is bro, i use mg nutes, they work fine in moderation, eventually youvwill need nutes
soil can only hold for so long, or till the plant eats it up

i been using tap water .but couple times i got water from the fridge(i let it get to room temp before use) it has a filter built in like a brita or something.u think thats better than the tap water for growing? or should my cheap ass just go get a ph test kit lol

Taller isn't where you want to be. Keep them as short as possible. They will shoot up after the switch to flowering. I messed up this time and now they have out grown my closet.
