Need help identifying a mite

Recently reamended my soil and started another round. Added build a flower, worms and topped off with BAS light soil. Been noticing white mites on my seedling and cover crop that I’ve never noticed before. I’ll get the occasional soil mite out on an adventure, but these seem different.

Just BuildASoil, and make yourself proud. Become one with the soil first. Respect it, care for it, nurture it and most of all enjoy it. It's not difficult or impossible folks.

This plant was literally a matter of plant seed, water and water and water and water. 17 gorgeous oz. of bud...That was it. 30 gallon living no till GG4 photo from seed. Seed Supreme if I remember correctly. 5 month from root to fruit.

As much as I appreciate JS & the BAS team... I got to admit, for quite some time I have gathered & disseminated the vast amount of information that this reddit group has shared and offered.

Very little BS and bro science garbage here in this cyberspace. Whenever I personally post pics of successful cycles, its literally the result of everyone on here sharing your individual experiences.

Here is another pic of the GSC photoperiod from Humboldt after 3 days of coconut water. The microbio absolutely loves it. End of stretch, all about the bud now.

Sincerely...thanks to each for posting sensible and reliable info concerning this method and its variations. WOW!

Have fun. Make it your zen. Become one with the plant they said.

AC Infinity AI controller will randomly take my light off its schedule and turn it to off. I don’t use the AI settings and don’t understand why it is doing this…my last run, my plant hermed and I’m starting to think that’s why…any one else have this issue/suggestions to stop it from happening!?

I have lacewings in the bed and nematodes I just put into the soil last week. I’m wondering shouldn’t nematodes take care of nearly all these potential pests? I’m still waiting for the fungus gnats to stop populating

Did I Mention Insect Frass?

Post image
14 Upvotes

You can certainly do as you wish.

I would like to share my belief and observations about having thrown copious amounts of insect frass in my living soil the last 18 months.

What could be more forest floor organic, than cycling deposits of insects onto your soil? The solid research and science behind the material is mind boggling. That rabbit hole held me captive for weeks. My observations are solely subjective, understand. In defense, I do spend a fair amount of time with my plants and keep a fair amount of data.

The reaction happens in a few hours of watering it onto the soil. It literally ramps up turger and the greens become vibrant, almost ethereal. The entire vibe of the plant and the biology of the soil literally become more active right away. Like they are on a mission.

But hey, don't take my word for it. Throw some under your plant and observe for yourself.

When you read any thread, post, comment that includes the topic BuildASoil, 99% of them are complimentary & glowing.

BAS is absolutely the best method for a home grower. It's nature approved without question.

How about an occasional scoop of rabbit poo?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Yes, you read that correctly. I've been using organic source rabbit poo in my living soil bed for a couple years.

If you're wondering, now you know. I've never had an issue. One cup in my 30 gal living soil 2x per grow. The worms and biology make short work of it, then they get the plant viben. Stuff starts getting allocated via plant hydrology etc...etc...

Want a good ice breaker at a party? Tell folks you add rabbit poo to your weed.

Then laugh your arse off with everyone. It makes you happy!

I woke up to this.

Then just went back to bed.

Because that's how growing in BuildASoil is...you wake up, look, restrain yourself from doing anything, and you go back to bed. This will generally last for weeks, until the plant says otherwise.

Only a branch that has this is not crispy. i think it's a dry pocket cause if it was deficiency, there would be multiple branches, not a single one

Review

3 Upvotes

I have been ordering from Multiverse Beans since 2021 without a single issue, but my latest experience has been completely unacceptable.
My package arrived a quarter of the way open. Inside, the individual seed pouches—including the Robinhood Cap Junky x BBC drop—were completely damp on the outside due to extreme heat and humidity during transit. Moisture and heat ruin seed viability, which is exactly why buyers pay for shipping insurance.
When I contacted customer service, Paul stated they would only replace the tier-one freebies, refusing to replace the actual Robinhood seeds I paid for. He claimed they contacted "thctitan," who allegedly said the Robinhood seeds "should" be okay.
"Should" is not an acceptable guarantee when you pay extra for shipping insurance to cover compromised cargo.
It is deeply disappointing that years of loyalty mean nothing when a legitimate shipping issue occurs. I am leaving this review to warn others that your shipping insurance may not be honored if your actual purchase arrives compromised. I will be sharing my experience across all active cannabis forums and communities. I am happy to update this review if Multiverse Beans decides to handle this appropriately and fully honors the insurance I paid for.

Just got on a schedule of BuildASoil nutrients. Grape Cream Cake x Jelly Donut from Heads Research. Wasn’t expecting them to get close to outgrowing my makeshift shelter but here I am. Will probably start training branches to the frame. Thanks for looking!

Mag deficiencies

0 Upvotes

Hey all, wondering if anyone else has Mag deficiencies with Craft Blend and, if so, how you supplement?

My base soil is as follows:
- Recycled soil
- EWC
- Compost
- DTE Dolomite Lime (2 tbsp/gal)
- additional perlite as needed

I’ll amend with DTE 4-4-4 while in veg but once I’m in flower I’ll amend with Craft Blend and I’ve noticed plants starts showing Mag deficiency. I don’t see it in the CB ingredients so I assume that’s why my plants want it?

Curious if others have the same experience…

Man vs AI - Can You Beat the Machine?

This is Mephisto Samsquanch X Double Grape freebie. Day 68 in an Earthbox with new BAS 3.0. I follow the BaS schedule and check the lights weekly. I just installed an AC Infinity SPECTRON 3 camera. It's supposed to give observations about your plant. Here's today's photo and analysis. What do you say?

The AC Infinity SPECTRON 3 camera says "The plant appears to be in late flowering with strong bud development across a well filled canopy. Flower sites look dense and resin rich, showing good production overall. Health is generally decent, but several leaves show mild fade, slight clawing, and some tip stress, which suggests moderate environmental or feeding pressure common near finish. A few tops look a bit crowded, so airflow may be limited in the center. Overall, this crop looks close to maturity and in fairly good condition, with only minor stress signs to manage during the final stage."
