i believe rice hulls do degrade, so that might be the issue. have you experimented with 15 gallon containers? plant and container size are def. correlated (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/07/120701191636.htm), but i don't when you reach the point of diminishing returns.

hey guys, love seeing this board still being so active and helpful. i just wanted to say my print book is now on amazon, in case you wanted to get a physical copy. it's also sold by bookcrafters. thanks for everyone's help. cheers to cootz, headtreep, cann, and rustymohican.

simplified and too small a pot, but it gets the idea across. AACTs and SSTs have lots of enzymatic activity to break down the ol' root ball.

Has anyone encountered the idea of Ocean fertilization? Adding iron increases phytoplankton growth, which leads to the ocean absorbing more atmospheric carbon. increasing sperm whale populations does the same thing: their shit naturally adds iron.

found a couple links that dig into the science side of organics: https://www.facebook.com/Modern.Canna http://www.moderncannabist.com/knowledge

yeah, i typically vape, but did smoke a joint of my stuff out of curiosity. very smooth and very clean effect, without a groggy comedown that i associated with smoking. biggest difference was i stunk up the place. i've always wondered if joint is a vape too: draw in hot air, which passes...

somehow, it always comes back to organics: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/02/10/radioactive-fertilizer.aspx It's well-recognized that smoking cigarettes can cause lung cancer. What isn't clear is exactly what it is in the cigarette or its smoke that causes it. It may be...

sure, but there's cheaper, DIY ways. compost quality is key. if you can locally-source great compost, then you're better off making your own soil. flower/bloom teas, even teas rich with enzymes to stimulate soil microbe life can all be self made. it's not a question of a label, but knowing what...

The freebie link will expire tomorrow. If anyone could leave a review on Amazon.com, that would be tits.

worm poo should work if it has had inputs with magnesium. on it's own, it may not help: https://www.bae.ncsu.edu/topic/vermicomposting/vermiculture/castings.html The nutrient content was much higher in the vermicomposts for most elements except magnesium [compared to commercial compost]. The...

Thanks. It was hell of a lot of work, but I'm glad I did it. There's a big gap between existing organic grow books and what is practice on this board. Of course, we're heavily borrowing from permaculture, but permaculture pot needs to be more well known. Even non-gardeners could benefit so to be...

i always understood it as 4 TOTAL cups, with the ratios given; so 28 cups would be 4x as much

hi guys, my book is out, so feel free to click on the link in my signature. its great to see the topics that i cover regularly come up in this forum: worms in grow containers, blumats, mixes, etc... thank you everyone for this beautiful forum. it's by far the most civil and informative one...

i don't think so. in fact, i think its a sign of good bin heath. when i messed up my worm bin by feeding it too much food, mold was growing much less robustly. to me this means a more acidic, bacterial-dominated bin. springtails also multiplied, and it just didn't look happy.

armchair speculation is part of the fun!

Aloe vera contains a bio-stimulate that triggers the plant’s defense mechanisms against a number of pathogens. Aloe vera, with a few other things, makes a great cloning gel. natural wetting agent; i'm sure more.
