11L is roughly 3 US gallons, will be fine using a 250HPS. I'd do no more than 4 plants under the HPS.. 3 would be a better bet to get the most out of the light. More plants doesn't necessarily mean more yield, don't forget that!

BioBizz all mix and light mix mixed 50/50 with no nutes for the first 2-2.5 weeks would be optimal. You're more likely to burn them using straight "all-mix" than you are using straight "light mix"(this will not burn them). BioBizz is good soil. Plant them directly in the 11L pots after germinating or germinate directly to the pots.

Sour60 can be a bit sensitive to nutes and I've had experience with them damping off that I haven't had with other strains. Good yielders and very good smoke though. Always remember, less is more - feed the plant less and see if it asks for more, if you feed it more you can't give it less and suffer the consequences.

i make a little research about ph metters and i found this ( sorry if spam http://www.hydroparadise.com/testeu...bksrc=item2item&_bkloc=psp_1_1_0_product)also is cheap! but i have to check the ph before water or after or its not matter?and one more if i understand i have to pin it in the soil there is danger to hurt the roots?

i cant tell what type that is since its in another language, but there are 2 types of ph testers ( that i know of) , for water and for soil , each time you water you must measure your ph and adjust it to around 6.5, you can check your 'runoff' water by collecting it after you water and using the meter to test it, or you could get the other meter that sticks directly into the soil to tell you the ph, but it is only for the soil no it will not damage the roots.
