    Does pH matter when Water contains no Nutrients (1st week after x-planing clones)

    Last week I transplanted two clones into my aeroponic (stick Buddy) system. My RO water has a pH of 7.2. Thinking that nutrient uptake is best at 5.8 pH, I added gh-brand pH Down, and have been chasing 5.8 like the 48 car's been chasing the Cup (with similar results). But is the water's pH...

    Many Small vs. a few Large CFLs?

    Are their any advantages to the small lights over big? I'd like to install about 180 total watts of cfl light in my 17"X18" micro space. Do smaller lights put off less heat per watt? Are they more efficiant? Originally I planned to use eight, 23 watt bulbs. But this doesn't leave any...
