Yeah... It should run 6.8-7..........
nah, that's too high. 6.2 - 6.8.
I water with equal volume of water to soil with Pro Mix, I use rainwater which is free, so I do that much. Watering to the point of runoff is important with peat based soiless mix to flush out the humic acid from the peat decomposing. It's also good to flush out residual nutrients. I feed after every watering 1/4 strength soluble 20-20-20 (Wal Mart brand)

how many timnes a week to you feed during vegging?
every time I water usually that works out to once a week indoors. When I find my plants start needing watering less than 4 days apart I repot to a larger container. I repot roughly every 10 days 'till flowering starts then I leave them alone.
