Yes. NL#2's ph is low, but SR#1 is low as well.
Will pH water IN @ 7.5 should give me a better soil ph?
I added 2 Tablespoons of dolomite lime to each one gallon S/Pot in the begining. I'd rather not add any more. The Soil Tabs are suppose to buffer the soil's ph. Going to give them another watering and see what's what.
I don't have to wait till next week for amazing growth. I checked them out this morning and they grew at least an inch or more.
Going to Home Depot this morning and getting a light socket extender and dual socket for my two 65w Daylight bulbs. Hanging up the Daylights in the SuperBox to give my girls better lighting. That would be a 200w Feliz "Blue" plus two 65w Daylights. I have a 150w Feliz Dual Spectrum, but it throws too much heat. For the small area that I have the 65ws' will be cooler.
Thanks for checking in.....Happy Halloween
I'm not going to LST them. I imagine that they'll get around 18"-20". My 1st S/R grow I didn't LST one of the girls. She got to be 22" in a two gallon SmartPot.

These are the numbers for NL#2 and SR#1 last watering:
NL#2 pH 6.9(IN) 6.1(OUT) -0.8 = 5.3 Desired pH 6.5 6.5+0.8=7.3 (IN)
SR#1 pH 6.9(IN) 6.0(OUT) -0.9 = 5.1 Desired pH 6.5 6.5+0.9=7.4 (IN)
These are the numbers for NL#1 and SR#2 last watering:
NL#1 pH 6.8(IN) 6.4(OUT) -0.4 = 6.0 Desired pH 6.5 6.5+0.4=6.9 (IN)
SR#2 pH 6.9(IN) 6.8(OUT) -0.1 = 6.7 Desired pH 6.5 6.5+0.1=6.6 (IN)
If I bring the IN pH @ 7.3 that should be in the ballpark (Yeah!!! Red Sox)???????????????????
I'm not too concerned; they jumped in growth last night. I think the Tabs maybe kicking in.

Two 65w Daylight Spiral CFLs Added
Added two 65w Daylight Spiral CFLs. It's not much, but it can't hurt.
Bought the splitter and socket adapter from Home Depot for under $5.00.
I had the springed hanger laying around the house. Will be rotating the S/Pots around to get even light and air circulation.
The S/Pots are raised up a good 8" off the bottom of the SuperBox. The 65w CFL is about 4" away from the tops.

I was surprised how fast the girls reacted to the new "Sunshine". Within 20 minutes they perked up.:dance: Last night's growth was remarkable. The Northern Lights are directly (4") under the new CFLs. They have jumped:hot: up in growth. The new CFLs really haven't brought the S/Box temp up by much to be concerned with.
Going to get some magnets and glue the magnet to the back of the base of the extension cord. The SuperBox is all metal. I'll be able to stick the lights anywhere in the S/Box to direct the lights to where it's needed. I may add another set of CFLs; need to see how the temp goes.
They are loving it.:dance2:

You got that right.:tiphat: Going to Ace Hardware today and get some Super Magnets. That should do the trick.:clap:
(Will be going to Boston tomorrow to see Red Sox "Duck" parade. I'm not the rabid sports fan that you see on TV. I don't wear sports "uniforms", but do have a Red Sox cap. I've listen to or watched every Sox game this year. Remarkable turn around. From Last to First. My second half wants to go. I'll hate the traffic, but I'll have my Iolites and PU
iT locked and loaded.)

Powering Up SuperBox
I went to Ace today and got the magnet to hold up the extension cord/splitter socket.
While I was there I picked up two 75w Daylight CFLs.
Now there is one 200w Feliz "Blue" CFL(top), two 65w Daylights (front) and two 75w Daylights (rear). That's 480w of "Blue"/Daylight CFLs. Need to keep an eye on the S/Box inside temp to make sure it dosen't heat up too much.
Attached the 3rd set of lights to the S/Box door. Now the whole box is surrounded with light. I can move the magnet socket around the box as needed. This should give these girls something to enjoy.
