If you have a large enough amount of soil you may be able to start a compost, add spent soil to compost, stir and reuse. A large enough pile would allow it to become perpetual id imagine.
I guess the other option is to just reuse the soil, pasteurize then add beneficial microbes and nutrients during the growing cycle?
I thought you stopped shop for a while? Back in flower already? Sorry im in and out of social.

Hey Aev! Just got back into flower again... just finished up one a little while ago, too. But the last one was probably my worst grow ever, so I'm just erasing it from the books. The weed is damn potent, though. Just not enough of it.

I think you can reuse or recompose soils pretty easily... I was reading someplace that sulphur is a big one in helping build soil back up again... I'll be doing it at some point...

Yeah the sad thing is since I'm gonna move after next grow all this dirt's gonna go to waste unless I move locally... definitely not taking 3 trash cans of dirt to cali (or wherever I end up). But it'll be a good expiriment...What state you live in btw bobo?

Not movin with your dirt?! Whodat moved back to LA from CO with his soil... and everything else he owned. You can, too!

Gotta run. Rainy work day. Fun!

 

[ReefBongwell]

I'll have to check with him... I was thinking the agricultural checkpoints wouldn't let you bring that in... but I was planning on trying to bypass those on side roads since i'll probably have stuff hidden in the truck.

 

[jigfresh]

I'd be careful with side roads. In my head they check anyone driving down those roads better than at the actual checkpoint.

 

[Bobotrank]

Seriously! . . . . .

 

[ReefBongwell]

Yeah I had thought of that too... and especially they're looking for people in rental trucks too. I'm thinking I may have to overnight cuttings to a friend and have him keep'em til I get there and then just pack up equipment... are you allowed to bring dirt through those ag checkpoints? And isn't that just gonna give'm an excuse to search you more thoroughly? I mean who else but a grower is gonna move with their dirt

I'll probably have to have two cars though will probably see if i can convince my friend in ca to let me fly him out and have him help me drive to CA Then I could keep the truck clean and ride behind it in my car with cuts and other stuff in there... that way if there's any heat, they'll pull the forward truck over and my car would just pass by and wait. That's the ticket... will still have to go the side roads though at least around the ag checkpoints... because a lead car does you no good going through the ag checkpoint.

 

[Highlanders cave]

Wha you talkin bout wilson. Ag checkpoints??

Think I been to most of the states even that hell where you live : !) Never seen an ag check point

Puff puff Cindy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[ReefBongwell]

There's ag checkpoints on every major highway leading into CA. They wanna keep the fruit flies n shit out.

 

[Highlanders cave]

Gotcha ; !)

They ought to be concentrating on keeping the spics out. Wait a min did I say that Build that fucking wall haha

 

[whodatnation]

I took 2 cans of soil with me, had 6 more (used but still good) left behind . I had a big ass rental truck with my car on a dolly... Didnt have any checkpoints but everything was CLEAN, except for all my seeds I had stashed away. Between cost of gas and the pain of lugging it around maybe just making more when you get there would work best. I do still cringe when I think about all that soil ;teardrops;

Edit: funny I ordered a bail of promix yesterday,,, compost needs more time and my ladies are on a tight schedule! lol

 

[Bobotrank]

Nothing can come between a boy and his soil! Yeah, that does sound rough...and costly. I had no idea you had so much soil.

 

[whodatnation]

Cheap as dirt, now that's some BS haha

 

[Bobotrank]

Will try and update this a little more thoroughly a bit later. Got a lot going on today. Chuggin' right along in flower... day 5 or so. This was taken yesterday at day 4 however. Probably a ton of difference between the two shots.

 

[whodatnation]

I rung up a couple of ladies last night.
the grow is looking great bobo!

 

[SpliffAndMyLady]

Looking good, nice ML's. So how many/what size pots did you end up cramming in their?

 

[Bobotrank]

Ya did, huh? How're they looking? I bet. . .

Thanks for the kind words. I'd just sprayed them with their Equisetum, so they were lookin' a lil droopy. They're really starting to kick into gear. I'm so excited!

Looking good, nice ML's. So how many/what size pots did you end up cramming in their?

Thanks Spliff. I've got a Blueberry and a Headband both in 7 gal, Trainwreck is in a 5 gallon, then I have 3x 3 gallon pots, and a 1 gallon. Don't ask about the 1 gallon, lol... long story. I'm feeling eager to build them a better stadium seating setup, but I don't have shit for free time right now.

 

[whodatnation]

I was referring to the canopy rings

 

[Highlanders cave]

Good thinking with the tomatoe cages bobro, those are will work great. I used to have a bunch, haven't seen them in a long time but they are not soemthing you throw out. Nice size containers too, mind if I pick your brain and get a yeild est per container?

Thanks brother!

Puffin and passin some Cindy pineapple on a crystal blue morning in the green mountains>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Bobotrank]

Thanks HC. I've used one tomato cage before, and it worked great on a little outdoor plant I had. I think I'll really be needing them to help hold things together once I get some heavier buds going. I'm anticipating pulling out the old bamboo stakes, too.

I'm honestly not sure how much I'll be yielding off these big pots, though. Based on the amount they've grown on top of the soil I'd hope that they've gotten pretty well established underneath, too. Headband has 6 really solid main stalks, Blueberry has at least 8, and both are really starting to stretch out. If I just got a half lb outta my tent this round I'd be psyched. I feel like if nothing were to go wrong that wouldn't be a problem, but we know things aren't always that easy.

Agent Orange puff puff pufffffff paaaaaasssssssssss (Yours sounds better tho!)

 

[ReefBongwell]

Damn straight... i'm watching my plants so happy every day knowing the potential and just hoping things go as planned... after my last grow i know the pain of failed expectations. nothing worse than going from your best to your worst harvest.

 

[Bobotrank]

No shit dude. That was me last harvest, too. I'd never had any "real" issues to speak of. I think I got 3 ounces... Terrible. I'm praying like hell I can keep the PM at bay this round. I'm spraying Horsetail mixed at 25% strength every other day. I'm a paranoid fuk. Can't wait til week 4 so I can defoliate them all, and get more air moving.
