Whataretheeeeeese
The soil holds too much the water and takes too long to dry up, no fan or temps will drop bellow acceptable, so besides taking advantage of the sun whatelse to do? They seem to hold well and have steady grow even without watering for 5 days... they dont need oxigen or what?

Adjusting Soil pH
Biobizz Lightmix is the only soil I could see 6.5 that's why I use it but this time I measure it's 7 my question how come does it happen even though the water it's been getting was no more than 5.8 all the time? I know my organic ph thing adjusts it only for couple of hours.

How many and how large plants in a 4x2 tent for a quick veg/flowering?
How many plants could I have in a 4x2 tent? I would like to reduce veg and flowering time, so would that mean I should go for more plants? I've got 3x 11 liter / 3 gallon Gronest fabric pots and can get more pots. Also, are the nutrients noted in the grow suitable for coco?

Erde ohne Perlite
Is there a good soil for cannabis cultivation that does NOT contain perlite? Canna Terra, Plagron, and Biobizz apparently all contain perlite in their mixes, but I want to add it myself. I can get perlite for 9 cents per kilogram (5-10L).

The possibility of using runoff, oxygenated, tested, adjusted to hydro levels and reused? Will it work or have I wasted money again?
I'm using my own mix of soil composed of approx. 30% advanced organics potting soil, 30% peat, 15% coco, 15% perolite, 10% .5x.5x.5 compost. I am using a drain table and 2- 40 gallon fabric pots, capturing all my runnoff into a large tote that is being oxygenated, will this work?
