    Vermicomposters Unite! Official Worm Farmers Thread

    Super nice setup NN! Those bakery trays look like they might work for my situation too. Where can I find the trays? Rrog, great looking vermicompost! Another possible option would be fabric pots. How do you separate the worms from the vermicompost in your system? I started vermicomposting a...

    If "Organic" Includes Bottled Ferts, What Is Plain 'Ol Soil Called?

    I tried out sideways modified supersoil mix for my first run. The tastiest, most potent herb that I've personally experienced with a surprisingly good yield. But, I want to try this recipe. It would be great not to have to use bagged soils and guanos. I flower in a 4x4 tent. What should I use...

    How do you use your volcano?

    I have had a digital volcano vaporizer for about 8 months but I'm unsure if I'm using it correctly or not. Typically I use a grinder to get the herb pretty fine and load the screen/compartment pretty full. Then I set the temperature at 376f for sativa dominant strains and at 400f for indica...

    DIY Worm Bin with pix

    I started a wooden stackable 4-tray worm farm with 500 red wigglers about 4 months ago. Each tray is suppose to hold about 7 pounds of castings when full. It's been working great. But, I could see right away that I was going to need more worms and a larger worm farm. I then took some 4"x12"...

    Anyone care to give an estimate of what percentage of organic farmers are practicing "old school" organic farming vs "new school" organic farming (using bottled crap and that includes any bottle nute)?

    RO question

    I'm pulling my pots later today... lol I'm curious to know why you put in a RO unit since your well water has only 60 - 70ppm of total dissolved solids? That my friend sounds to me like you have good quality well water.

    I want to apologize to everyone about the water fiasco. I had a couple of off days... Please forgive me. Speaking of revitalizing your yard. I've been landscaping my front and back yards (first time for any landscaping on this property). When digging a hole to plant a new plant, I screen the...

    Another question... I have approximately 50% supersoil in my 7 gal pots... I'm having more leaf tip burn on the Kosher Kush's than I did previously... It looks to me like that they are feeding like mad (mid/late flower) or is it that the soil is too hot for them?

    sharing my modified subcool super soil recipe

    A little bit more about my water situation... I am on a community water system, in an area that is quite pristine, that uses water from a couple of different ground water wells... there has been very little environmental pollution over the years in this area and it is quite pristine but I have...

    sharing my modified subcool super soil recipe

    It appears the watering with the additional magnesium did the trick right away. I haven't notice any further spread. But, I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway. I'm sure my plants will do just fine with well water. All of your plants are certainly proving it... even the veggies! From the little I...

    Your both right! I'm going with tap (well) water... thanks for keeping me straight. Sideways- I picked up a 10 pack of Ken's GDP.

    I finished watering about an hour or so ago... Runoff PH between 6.4 and 6.6. Watered today @5.1 PH with 250ppm CaMg+ and Molasses I think its probably a magnesium deficiency... the rust/brown spots are so uniform between all four plants and now that I've had a chance to think about it... I...

    Sorry... if I could figure out how to get the picture from my laptop to the thread I would post one... too much herb perhaps... No yellowing... must be deficient in magnesium? I'm going to hit them with additional CaMg+ and a slug of molasses... unless somebodies got a better idea...

    I was told that I needed needed to use RO water due to too many dissolved solids in my well water (230ppm) but to replace the calcium and magnesium in the RO water at around 60-80ppm and add additional if needed (Mag def.). I think its needed.... I'm going to raise the CaMg+ dosage in their...
