im a first time grower, i have a very simple setup, i have a 1.4'x1.4'x3.4' grow box, with 2 low watt heat lamps, and a 10" fan, my plant it about 2 months old,about 1.5' tall, but its very small in diameter, i water my plant once a day every 2-3 days, depending on when my soil get crusty 2 inches dow, i have my plants in miracle, i was told not to have em in that soil, because it lowers the ph level very low any suggestions

You said heat lamps...?? they really aren't good..the plant will grow but stretch..(See)... get 26w cfls instead then you can get closer.....

The thing with MG soil is most is pre nuted and moisture control... its better to add these yourself... then if a burn water problem you're not stuck.. easy to add shit.. a bitch to remove,.. IMO.... lots of luck..

*LOL..thats almost the exact veg/seedling cabinet I have now...

yeah hes right get some better lights, and if you started that from a seed it might be a male, you'll find out when it starts flowerings. balls=males, hairs=females, females grow the bud, males pollinate the females and make them grow seed which you dont want if you want good bud

Get some DOLOMITE and mix it with your soil when you transplant, or plant.
Dolomite fixes low soil pH and will not bring it above 7. Home depot? Not expensive.

I used a 50-50 promix/ soil but recently found that its two diff.. ph conditions.... any good potting soil.. but don't get moisture control or pre nuted.. you need to control that..IMO

yeah I'd give some sun till you have better lights if you have a good spot.. the T12 agrosun or T12 plant aquarium (what I have) work great and are about $30.00 for two 22" with the whole unit... I have them and two T5's ..T5's are very very good and cooler than small CFL.. but are $60. per 22" bar.. see the two below.
