+1, and model OP if you don't mind, and I didn't realise you could use LED with cfl, so that's interesting.

not to sound like a know it all, but shouldnt you get your nutes, ph and ppm's in order first. otherwise you will just kill your plant and blame it on the lights or lack of light.

The entire PH stuff in soil is so over-rated. Soil is a great buffer for high or low PH. I have a PH of 8.1.....never did anything about it. I also water right from the tap so I'll also tell you that chlorine in tap water is just fine. Click on any of my signature links.

Chasing the "perfect" PH when someone has a plant problem is actually hurting your plant because you're not addressing the problem correctly. Sure....a perfect PH can't hurt, but pointing to it as the problem a plant's having is rarely right.
