Thanks! Nice pup profile pic too! Arrgh, where's me bacon treat?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Should the lights switch from 18/6 to 12/12 gradually over a period of time? For example start cutting an hour back each day over a week or so?

Thanks! Planning to do that with some more mystery seeds next go 'round. Brings up another newb question. Turn light abruptly from 18/6 to 12/12 or gradually cut back hours over time? Take an hour away every couple days over or Bam! pull the plug and go straight to 12/12? Maybe I should start...

Good share thanks!

Thanks! So many quick, kind replies, experience, and advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you ComfortCreator... and every one! If you could please elaborate on the EWC, what that stands for? The farmer did transition from soy beans to corn every three to four years to swap out what one plant was taking and giving back to the soil so the next could benefit. Never knew there was...

Thank you! I do PH the water going in at 6.3 to 6.8 and have since starting. I forgot to mention that and that I also started running it through a zero water filter 2weeks ago since the city water here is crap with tons of scaling and crud on anything it's evaporated in. [Discovered that...
