    Anaerobic bacteria effect on soil

    If you cover your worm bin make sure it will still breathe. I use cloth. Old towel or sheet. Or I’ll cut multiple 2” holes in a lid of it’s sealed and hot glue fine mesh over it to keep nats and fruit flys out.

    Anaerobic bacteria effect on soil

    Interesting I’m not a big organic user. I have worm bins and they do get anaerobic in the bottom. I do flip them every so often. Just dump from one bin to an empty one. pulling up a stump to learn.

    Run Off Numbers

    Yes everything you add can affect the ppm of your media even straight coco has salts in it. You can’t force feed a plant it will only use what it wants. If your feeding to high ppm the plant will use some nutes and leave the rest. You add more high ppm and it just keeps building in your media...

    Run Off Numbers

    Or=over range. I’m surprised they look as good as they do. My grow would be crispy criders. General runoff shouldn’t be higher than 300ppm above what you’re adding. You have lockout where one nutrient locks out another when toooo high.

    Can You Take Clones from Flowering Plants?

    Yes if you try to clone or reveg a flowering plant cut way back on light. Not ideal but you can clone a buding plant. Take a lower branch if you can, has more hormone in it for rooting. Currently cloning a bud right now. I tried to s1 907bluegenes from AKBB. Forgot I didn’t have a spare clone...

    Float/shutoff valve for standard 5 gallon bottle.

    What I do is run RO to a larger tank. Used to use a cut off 45gal to about 30g with a plastic sheet covering the top. I now use a stainless 10gal olive oil container. Use just a float valve. Shuts ro off when full. Run a ball valve at the bottom with a short chunk of garden hose to fill buckets...
