Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

[GreenSanta]

Whats the best way too solve greensantas problem? Sucks to here u have this problem, how long has it been happening? Strange, ive never teally seen a calmag problem in ROLS..

if adding thru water doesnt work, can he recycle or compost the soil with gypsum and lime?

it is nothing to worry about. I am not really ROLS, I recycle my supersoil et re-ammend it for now. I am in the process of making big compost piles for an eventual true ROLS.

The problem is when I placed my big pennywise into budding, she kind of turned slightly yellow, that was also after I top dressed her so it could have been nute lock... I remember in the past when my plants looked this way just a dose or 2 of cal-mag would bring things back to normal. I dont have calmag anymore and I am tempted to go buy it just for now. The plant might go back green now that the soil has dried out and is ready for watering without the addition of cal mag since the top dress contained gypsum.

hey guys noticed everyone here using smart pots!
found out that velcro works great for training , you just stick it right onto the pots!!
here's the stuff i got, i bet those little pots they sell you could just stick them to the brims of your smart pots in veg to start clones / seedlings at the same level for t5's and such , just thought i'd share i really think its easier than poking holes in the smart pots

the pots i have are light gray, i don't know if the different brand geo pots whatever mine may have been "dirt pots" you could probably test it with some veclro if you have any, it has to be a specific side (i think the scratchy side)

been doing it for years now way easier than tying strings and stuff.. I like to use them with bamboo sticks too (1 or 2 per container depending on size of plants), just little pieces around the bamboo and the plants really helps stabilizing everything

While on the subject. How important is it to have airflow underneath these cloth pots? Would it be wise to place them on milk crates if they need airflow? Should I have my soil cooking in these pots? Right now they're in trash cans. When I squeeze the soil it stays clumped but breaks up easily. My compost was wet due to the climate.

Air flow is minumum on my fabrics, in ROLS, our goal is to keep the soil moisture moderate, so having strong air flow would obviously dry things out quicker = dead microbes

What ever do i do with these bottles? Seriously i dont kno wtf to do with them...

I was thinking, what if i build a mountain of dirt, make bunch of teas with this shit and throw it in the mountain of dirt, then innoculate the dirt with those mushrooms that clean ecosystems. Lol got the idea from TEDtalks http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XI5frPV58tY fast forward to 8:00 he talks about how the poor contaminated soil was innoculated with oyster mushrooms and eventually the soil wS healthy enough for plants to grow. Lol im high

wtf do i do with these dog gone bottles

I seen that the other day. Mycelium is pretty badass. I added a box of organic baby oatmeal to a bag of compost before mixing my soil. Now I'll probably get in trouble with red or something and find out that was a bad move. Lol.

Bad move my ass you technique stealer! You'll get some serious brew with that shit. Just don't brew as long and kill the fungus. I like firm undercooked brown rice too.

use em until you run out! I am sure you have some plants fading too early every once in a while or am I wrong?! I still use some 2-4-4 organic bloom bottled nutrients from time to time!

 

[foreverflyhi]

Well, no, my plants are always lush and green (except for one) they do get fall colors but thats allnaturAl.

honestly ive had these bottles from years back, the times i used em i got carried away with em and bam, problems. So eh, my soil is healthy and no need for this ish. I also just realized i have a whole Fing gallon of cutteng edge grow. Dont even kno why i have it lol, its like im stuck with this poison and really dont want this shit to get out into the eco system or peoples bodies.

thats why i proposed using it, then cleaning the area with oyster mushrooms... Wouldnt that be something

I love EJ and guano. I'll trade you some clover, rice hulls, and a 100 skunk freebies!

man don't be so over the top!! use it on ornamental plants, that earth juice stuff can't be that bad for the environment!! it is not like dumping toxic chemicals or using pesticide ...

Soo I was supposed to have my bodhi gear by now.... but apparently my bank did'nt process the transaction, got fraud detection from seedsman, so moral of the story is I have a world of seeds nNLxbigbud fem which i dont know anything about really, and a barneys farm pineapple chunk, which I have heard is totally underwhelming as far as potency goes... BAHHH was supposed to have 33 bodhi beans, and they're all gone now.....But anyways Im just venting...

 

[Steelheader3430]

Your bank blocked it? I'm looking to order bodhi from seedsman soon. I hope I can get through.

 

[hyroot]

they got fraud now too like attitude. well there another seed bank gone down. That helped make up my mind. Just going to wait for the l.a. cup.

How did you pay?! I haven't had issues with my past two recent orders. I plan on making another one real soon.

 

[Steelheader3430]

I emailed seedsman to see what kind of response they have. I hope it was just a fluke but I'll get back to you guys with their response. Starcraft are you going to look into what happened?
