Stowngrow,
I was reading info on site from the esteemed guru of brew. Based on what I read I noticed concerning ACT that a typical aquarium air pump will not do the job in a 5 gallon container, possibly a two gallon from what Tim posted.
Therefore my question to you since it does not seem to...
Stowandgrow,
One thing I did read which concerns me is the ability of my brewer to provide the right amount of air.
From what I read my aquarium air pump, hose and 5 gallon bucket is not adequate for the job of making or providing an environment that will multiply the microbes to what is...
Actually they are porous, they have tiny holes in them to trap air. But not the same as the lava rock.
When water is run over them they sound like rice crispies.. crack snap and pop!
Look closer at the picture you will see these tiny holes.

Hi RCM,
As far the rock I use it is silica Higromite google it there are many hydroponic sites that carry it. Amazon used too.
This is what I use in PHOGS, specifically the passive water reservoir I use is filled with these and the cloth pots rest on top of wet rock where water line is kept...
Rrog,
I transplanted some clover from my lawn into one of my pots it seems to be doing okay, is there a problem other then what else I might bring in from outside?

I was thinking custom ones for guys too, say charcoal cloth pots with stencil sprayed images in black and white colors, skull n cross bones, hazard material sign etc.... or even now that your looking at specific cloth patterns find some camouflage material that would be great! Cause for guys it...

I flush that out in my PHOGS Journal, nonetheless the one I am using is as a veg light is under powered UFO but enough for what I need of it.
The LEDs I use in flower are Dorm Grow you will see those in my Journals. What is impressive is that four two foot plants of which only...
You can brew fungi dominate brew. The best way you can do this is to start with a small shovel of soil from a nearby forest or acquire fungi dominant compost.
When you use soil from fungi dominant resource such as a forest as mentioned this will increase diversity and give you a boarder range...
Hey if I am making teas, which looks like I need and want to do for I am tired of buying organic tea in a bottle and cal/mg, kelp, fish and other similar bottled organic nutrients.

Didn't know that thought alpha pellets for rabbits were all organic plant food, didn't know bunnies ate meat... hmm?
Maybe we aren't talking about same alpha product at the feed store? I will ask about their's were I am at.
The only thing I know I can use in my yard is dandelions but I hear...
Hyroot,
Question for you, could one not just buy alpha feed for stock animals, use the feed per portion to the tea recipe?
I would think that would be more readily available possibly and less expensive probably?

Okay I threw caution to the compost pile and went for it.
What your are looking at are clones transplanted 2 days ago from solo cups into cloth soil pots that just had these four lovely gals harvested from them.
They have taken off and increased in size substantially. I also added to the root...
FREAKING AWESOME.... She outgrew her NUTZ... SWEET! GOOD JOB! WAY TO STICK IN THERE AND NOT THROW THE HERMIE OUT.
So the ball removal operation did you good? The only thing I would say with that strain is keep tight controls on temp, humidity and ensure NO Light during dark period, none what so...
Hey RCM...
I use the one with the mater on it, for seedlings (OMRI) It is supposed to be the consumer line of Roots Organic from what I read I could be wrong.
But it is nice for seedlings and clone starts! Could use a little more aeration, once I get my bulk rice hulls I will be substituting...
Hi RCM,
I use Higromite it has silica and is awesome for aeration too. I've seen 2 liter bags for $20

Higromite provides several advantages over expanded clay pebbles, coco and rock wool. It's high in silica, pH neutral, and has the best moisture retention and release on the market...
Rrog, speaking of aeration of the soil, where can I find rice hulls bulk cheap? Feed store? Who besides us organic fanatics would use this product on a large volume?

I've learned why Bahiagrass was selected...
On-farm production of mycorrhizal inoculant in test enclosures at The Rodale Institutes farm. Douds chose bahiagrass as a host plant "because it's a tropical grass and the first frost will kill the shoot growth"--so it won't escape to become a new...
