Mad reps for a guy that tells me the secret amount of lime to add...just sayin ;)
Ha....depends on how much soil ur mixing...if its granulated/powder lime I sprinkle abt a tblsp per five gallons of soil mix...

U could prolly go for two tbsps per 5gallons but I always tread lite on stff like that to b safe...less is more w cannabis sometimes...well most times

I put 2 tbsp in my 5 gallon, worked into the top inch or so of soil. This was the peletized dolomite lime.

I use the same stff..and have used both methods...the sprinkle on top n water thru and also just premixing in soil...both seem to work well

I'll be starting these seedlings on a rotation between my box during "lights on" cycle and middle shelf of closet during the "dark" cycle...clamp CFL'S to the top shelf and we're good to go? I have a "wall" to put around to contain the light. After a few more weeks of flowering left on my first grow I'll move them down...I originally wanted to set up a second box for veg but recent events have got me in exhaust and air filtration mode.
you want castings for veg........compost for flower..............roots not that wiggle worm garbage

I live next to a river n my soil is black n fluffy n full of worms...I cut this down to the base every year n it grows bk bigger every year...View attachment 276380220130804_094731.jpg..banana tree...everything in the yard does well...ive thought abt giving one a run just in soil from my yard mixed w perlite...just for the hell of it to see how it'd do.

i dont worm farm............ but theres nothing to it i had one in about second grade.........when the material inside is processed you just move it all to one side and add new stuff the worms go over to eat the new stuff and you scoop out the old........you would want to sift it then to seperate out egg cocoon things but the hardcore dont
