....

I agree not malicious but rather old dog thing, but in the same hand thoes old dogs are the ones pushing all the other chemicals touting NSW levels and striving to get them...

I will disagree with the KH though I actualy never had better color or growth as when I was sitting about 13 If I dropped below 11 my green digitata would go from a deep metalic green to a flat deep green.. so that is probably one thing this old dog will keep doing... want to have fun, tune a Ca reactor to maintain 13Dkh and 380Ca
