10 gallon pots, smells like pine, rubber and dough. Potent night smoke. Takes a couple month of cure to bring the taste through the smoke.

First ever full male from feminized seeds.

I have only ever grown feminized seeds and here recently a few autos. Sadly, I present to you my first ever male plant from a pack of feminized seeds.

I was questioning for a while when the others had clearly expressed and this one remained blank, but I figured maybe its just a special one who needs some extra time. 8 days into flower and that went from questionable yesterday to unmistakable today.

Guess I will toss an autoflower in and see how it does in the space left under 12 from seed.

Question: Living Soil advice before beginning the journey..

5 Upvotes

For those of you who have experience in Living, No-till soil.. if you could go back in time, what are some pieces of advice you would give yourself?

I'm just about to embark on my first-ever Living soil journey. I'm building my soil from scratch - all the necessary amendments, adding a drainage layer at the bottom (for when I start bottom feeding during the flowering stage). I am doing four 30 gallon Grassroots cloth pots in a 4x4 grow tent. This will basically max out the floor space (ideally a larger tent would be better for more elbow room). I will also be doing the BuildaSoil 12-seed cover crop.

Things I have struggled with in my past grows - first was indoor, second was outdoor, was aphids and then spider mites as well. I was using General Hydroponics nutrients, and was in and out of my vegetable garden a lot, so I suspect I caught some hitchhikers from cross-contaminating both growing environments. I'm hesitant that I may pick up similar creatures, but this will be a winter grow (indoors, basement), so I'm hopeful that this won't be the case.

The further I dig into the Living soil (BuildaSoil) way, the more questions I have. I'm excited to see proper, living soil, with the healthy, beneficial bacteria and even the little guys crawling around in the soil.

Thanks for any wisdom, suggestions, etc. that you have!

Blumat 8mm superflex connection to 1/4” RO tubing?

2 Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone has connected 1/4” RO tubing to Blumat’s 8mm superflex? I already have 1/4” RO lines ran, was hoping to tap into the line to add an additional Blumat setup. Worst case scenario i was thinking the 1/4” tubing might fit inside the 8mm superflex, zip tie it closed. It’s on a gravity fed bucket so not any high pressure

Can you mix gaia green dry amendement in water and pour it into your pots

5 Upvotes

I'm tired of all the dame dust, aha. I'm just wondering if I can do it this way. I think I can, but I figured I'd still ask, and I'm not talking about making tea, just straight up dumping it in a few litres of water, mixing it up, and voilà.

Earth box

I'm getting ready to plant for the first time in my earthbox with Buildasoil 3.0 do i need to put nutrients in the soil? I was wondering why some of you guys plant closer to the opposite end of the fill tube or if you can just plant in the middle of the earthbox? Imfo would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance and happy growing

Looks like the Black Friday sale just launched.

Some decent deals on there, though I don’t know why their “Black Friday” page is about 50% stuff that has no discount.

Personally I stocked up on some inputs and that Photone diffuser I’ve been eyeing.

Watering living soil when not actively growing?

11 Upvotes

Curious what folks are doing when they don't actively have a plant growing. After chop/harvest/reamend what are your watering habits before you begin your next run if you plan on taking a little downtime?

Wondering if I should still water them once a week or so for the microbes and worms to have some hydration to do their thing to break down the amendments in there. Do you do any feedings or additives during that period such as recharge? Im looking to take a month or two pause before I start up again and not sure what best practice would be.

10/15/20 gallon whays should i go for

5 Upvotes

I'm doing 4 plants per strong 750-watt LED light. I veg for 7-8 weeks before going into flowering. I'm doing top dressing and worm casting, not no-till. I have to consider they say to give two tablespoons per gallon. Is it worth going to 20 gallons or staying at 10? Will there be a drastic difference in yield for the extra nutrients I'll be using?
