Just put a couple seeds into solo cups yesterday. Have been debating on what to use for final containers in my little 2x2.5ft tent, but you have just settled that for me. These plants will just get put in the 19 gallon tote already pre-drilled as a worm bin that my soil is sitting in now. Threw...

If you plan on sticking with organic soil, I would definitely be reusing whatever soil you go with this time. There's a few different options as to how to go about reusing it, but I would highly suggest reading through some of the organics section to gather a wealth of info. Lot's of...

No clue on the clover, sorry man. I would assume that all types of clover have the same nitrogen fixing properties, some may just be better than others. I'd like to think that just having different "levels" of root depth in your pots will have benefits though. I dont think you'd hurt anything by...

Been a while since I really did some research into neem, but I remember reading somewhere on this forum that this was the "go to" product for neem/karanja.. http://www.neemresource.com/ Sorry I don't know if there is a difference in cake vs meal, but I would imagine they are both the same or...

Last time I built some worm bins, I used some leaf/yard waste compost from the backyard and introduced a few different critters to the bins. Also added some of that compost to an existing bin and now have populated that as well. Mainly just brought springtails and sow bugs inside, which has now...

Wish you the best on your grow and look forward to watching it all progress, especially under the timber lights start to finish. I'm planning on throwing my timber 2vs in a newly cleaned out closet to grow out a variety of random things to see different effects of spectrums (using different...

Looks awesome and appreciate the detailed thread on all of this. Reading threads like this one always inspires me to throw some seeds in soil just to play around with things. I had bought some aloe seeds I found online a while back, but didn't have any on a half-assed attempt the first try with...

Those lights look awesome sir, well done. Curious about how you are going to use the buddies though, you putting them up top with the strips or going to use them as side lighting? Wish you the best with your grow though.

Great post, what you say about the veggie scraps makes a ton of sense. Can't agree more about the quality of homegrown produce too. I grew out some kale in between grows in my soils and it was of great quality in all aspects. Hopefully get to setting up the outdoor garden this year, both for...

Did you stick with the 4k 90cri's for now or have you switched things up? Just curious to hear how things are going since raising them/lowering watts a bit.

I've made a couple different batches of biochar. Not sure if what I ended up with could be considered "biochar" exactly, but if nothing else it helps with compaction some I suppose and is all different shapes and sizes. Used an old iron pot and a broken green egg steamer thing this time...

Just did a quick little search and came up with hops, humulus, being in the same family as cannabis. Any thoughts on using it as a test subject? Seems like it could work out nicely since it vines and would be pretty visible to see differences in the growth rates/leaf structures, just no clue on...

I'm curious about what these guys think about this as well, more specifically the use of these specific nm diodes as compared to the white light spectrum's that most people seem to be using these days. I have very little experience growing and am not in a good situation to experiment so can't...

Does the 4k 90cri have more blue than the 80cri ones? I always read that the higher cri catered more to the red spectrum, so overall the 90cri would have a higher red percentage resulting in a lower blue percentage than their standard 80cri counterparts. I thought it was about the surface area...

My worms seemed to love the bokashi bran I made a while back. I have like half a gallon of some activated em1 that I've been meaning to use up still, just need to find some cheap bran somewhere local and I'll make some more up. Only thing I worried about was the ph dropping a bit from the...

Seoul has the sunlike diodes that seem to have a nice spectrum too. They are a bit more expensive and less efficient than the thrive's, but they bring a pretty balanced spectrum starting a bit more in the near-uv range. Adding some of these to your 4k 90cri strips may be a nice combo without...

I had a similar "outbreak" of those soil mites in one of the worm bins when I added some fresh outdoor compost to the bins. I'm no expert, but those type of soil mites seemed to behave differently than the hypoaspis miles that I'm used to seeing in my soils and worm bins. I'm sorry I'm pretty...

May have missed it, but are you using bagged or homemade castings? I have all sorts of things sprout up in my bins and some grow some pretty nice little root systems in there even without any light present. One of these days I'm going to try and grow out an avocado seed that throws a taproot...

I have a couple already, but haven't hooked anything up to them so I cant really offer much beyond just reading the datasheets on them. I may grab a few more of the +/- $20 drivers just to have around, a few different volt/watt options available in that price range still. One day I'll learn some...

I'm no expert by any means, but maybe check out these delta lne drivers on arrow for just under $20 a piece. https://www.arrow.com/en/products/lne-36v120waaa/delta-electronics I like the idea of being able to adjust both the Vo and Io to give a little more of a "safety" wiring them in parallel...
