The PH stuff is really easy to fix. Buy proper soil (the grow shop will carry it). Use a higher end nutrient (Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect is great for beginners. Just don't go nuts with supplements that you don't need).

I'd like to expand on that a bit.
More importantly, clean soil if that is they way you are going. Even the big name soil companies have bugs in their soil. Ph Perfect isn't as Ph perfect as AN claims. You will pay a premium price just for the AN name when other companies have just as good as products. You have to remember as well, AN uses RO water on these ph perfect claims. So if someone uses just dechlorinated tap water. They Ph will be different. Either way, ph everytime. For everything. I'm not trying to bash AN. They have great products. Just remember they have a great marketing strategy and a lot of hype that goes with it.
Most co2 applications are vastly overrated IMO. But in some applications they do have their merit. For most people thought the gain is not worth the cost.
