    Starting a new mix got questions.

    So after 24 hrs the 1/3 each was drying quicker but now at day 3 the vermiculite is helping it dry out quicker than both other methods.

    Starting a new mix got questions.

    So I forgot to check the weights yesterday (day 2) but it's looking like the results from day 3 and observations I made through these containers kinda does it. The volcanic rock makes pits of air below them and that worries me that it may cause pockets of air that could go anaerobic. I'll go...

    Cold air in or hot air out?

    Unless the rest of the tent aside from intake and exhaust is hermetically sealed blowing cold air in will allow hot air to linger around and build up near the top. Not a good idea.

    Starting a new mix got questions.

    I decided to not test the existing soil...i could only scrounge 3 eqal containers. Initial results (used a bit of algebra to solve for each ingredient) The peat held about .51 cups water to a cup of peat. The vermiculite was .49 The lava rock was .14 (the actual rock volume was less due to...

    Starting a new mix got questions.

    I haven't seen any rice hulls around though....is that maybe a feed store item? There aren't many feed stores in this area....probably a 30 min drive to the closest one.

    Starting a new mix got questions.

It looks to be mostly CaCO3 about 53% And about 35% MgCO3 As for aeration im gonna try a few tests in some cut up water bottles: -control test with my old soil -50/50 peat/vermiculite and i bought a small bag 1.5qt small lava rocks so ill try a...

    Starting a new mix got questions.

    Ive got a ton of excess landscape rocks as well i could use...got the normal gray like 3/4" and also some redish type same size. I live in the desert so i can also sift some sand down to about 2-3mm with an old window screen. I might have to go through a process of separating clay and salt from...

    Starting a new mix got questions.

    Yeah i think the water comes out about 350-400ppm The Jobes bone meal says 100% organically sourced and prilled for dust reduction (pellets). The only nutes the old soil has had is the Jobes Tomato and various remnants from a General Organics Go Box and an organic fish and bird poop fertilizer...

    Starting a new mix got questions.

    I've been growing for awhile and decided to start a new mix for better results. I currently have about 45 gallons of a mix that i've been using thats mostly peat with some perlite and vermiculite and has a decent colony of composted roots and Jobes Tomato stuff (with the micorizzah and archae...

    mold in organic soil okay?

    Sorry, don't know if it makes any difference but its brown not white. I remembered incorrectly.

    mold in organic soil okay?

    Alright, I just wasn't sure...I know that there's lots of bacteria and fungi in soil, but I wasn't sure if because it may have gone a bit anaerobic that it may have allowed some baddies to take over or something....especially with Aspergillus, there's so much negative info out there about it...

    mold in organic soil okay?

    I store my soil in a storage tote. I inadvertently left some stems and leaves in one with some soil and didn't vent it properly. It appears to be growing tons of Aspergillus on the stems (tall white looking structures, almost look like giant trichomes). Should I completely toss this soil and...

    Switching to LED from CFL late flower?

    Awesome. Thanks! I wasn't sure if the change in spectrum might cause too much stress or trigger it to retard flowering growth and veer towards vegetative growth or worse.

    Can other plants grow in same tent if marijuana?

    Actually the definition of a weed is a plant that grows where it isn't wanted...therefore the term weed for mj likely started as a pejorative term and people started to assume its a weed. As far as I know the only plant I've heard to keep away from mj is Roses but that's because of certain...

    Switching to LED from CFL late flower?

    I just received 2x Roleadro "400w" COBs (200w actual each)and I'm currently running a 6 year old 250w feliz with 2 smaller CFL one 23w and a 45w on those Wal-Mart reflectors in a 4x4 tent but only have 2 plants that have maybe a week or two left. I only have 2 rope ratchets so I either stick...

    low humidity

    This guy is almost on the money...put a fan blowing directly across the towel, like a T where the fan is like the top of the T and the bar is like the towel...or change the bar to an Upside down U...have the bottom side(s) under water to soak it up....i use 2 storage totes one stacked like a +...

    Two patients in the same house = 14 plants total?

    whoa, no need to be offensive. I honestly think the rule shouldn't be so de-facto....i never said there was a legit reason for having 99 plants. Honestly I think however we should be allowed to have an allowance that's based on plant size and not numbers....i mean maybe a 4x4 tent full of plants...

    Growing outdoors (in a back yard)

    maybe it's an acclimation process or genetic allowance? I'd love to be able to throw a plant out in full sun here....much cheaper than under a damn light bulb.

    the 200w flower box chalk full, and upgraded a bit

    I'm using for soil: Fox Farms Ocean Forest. For nutes: Technaflora Recipe for success. I haven't even been using the Root 66. I had run out of the Sugar Daddy...now i'm using some black strap molasses instead....but really only for the last week or so of flowering. those pics were like week 4...
