I'd use some wood putty to fill any/all crevices between boards and in corners, sand everything smooth, then flex seal everything that will be in contact with worms/medium. OR you could buy rubber shower pan liner and staple it in.. but staples would be points for water seepage and they'll...

Ever see anything like this inside your SIPs @Greenthumbs256 ? I cooked my soil for a few weeks, built my SIPs, put everything together, added my water with about 1/2 cup of EM1 to the bottom via the feed tube, added my bokashi to the top, covered it and let it sit.... About a week later i...

Lol, LABS (lactobacillus serum) is what I'm growing. Essentially homemade EM1, following hyroot's method. Here's his video tutorial: (Not sure how to embed from mobile ^^) The long and short: Take rice, wash it thoroughly, save the rice water. Let rice water ferment for a week with a...

Well, I guess nobody has had this happen, or cares to comment, but I'll follow through to the end and update it with my experiences in case anyone else has this happen to them and is trying to figure out what they should do Strained the mix several times, through 2 seives with a couple layers...

So I did my rice wash, that came out stinky, but looked about right compared to hyroot's video. I moved to the next step of adding my milk.. hyroot suggested 1 to 10 rice was to milk, elsewhere around the internet I've seen as high as 1 to 20, so I went kind of in the middle to 1 to 15. I go...

All the oldschool strains would just be landraces, no? Or a super early cross of a landrace Depending on where you live in the world, you should be able to hunt down the landrace strain(s) that were prevalent at the time in your area.

https://www.allotment-garden.org/composts-fertilisers/npk-nutritional-values-animal-manures-compost/ Here is a general guideline for the NPK values of differing manures. I'm sure source/brand/level of composting will cause these numbers to vary, but at the very least gives you something to base...

Grab a bottle of bio-bizz grow and bloom. They're needed together for flower (NEEDED.. tried without the grow, plant turned yellow week 4 of flower). They're salt free so your not fucking up soil organisms, and immediately available to the plant, to help you make up where your lacking in late...

Got a question for anyone with experience making LABS.. I made my rice wash, tomorrow will be day 7.. it LOOKS right compared to what hyroot's looks like in the vid, but want to be sure the smell of rancid ass (for lack of better description) is normal lol I'm sure fermented rice starch isnt...

If I happen to have some leftover spores from actual mushrooms, I can use that? Not that I'd be trying to grow out the mushrooms, but if a blanket of mycelium is all we are after, the source of mycelium isnt important, correct?

So I got a question, and I'm not really sure who to ask, or where... figured I'd start here Why do we use bokashi as the fungal side in the SIPs, instead of just a mycorrhizae? Is it just preference, or is there a difference between mycos and bokashi fungus in terms of what they are doing for...

Adding in lights of varying kinds int going to hurt, so long as your able to keep heat and light intensity at optimal levels. People do this all the time, using HPS/CMH as their main lighting, with CFL/LED as side or supplemental lighting for the added spectrum. Should give you good results if...

Rice hulls break down and composts in a living soil. Perlite does, however, break down over time (by compaction/breakage), and because its inert doesnt compost. As particles break off, and turn to dust, and make their way to the bottom of a no till container over years and years, its turns to...

I do 2 rows in my 4x12 boxes for what it's worth

High moment... for some reason I thought he was doing no till. As long as your able to turn and reamend your soil, perlite shouldnt be an issue. As the perlite breaks down over the years, it turns to dust that can clog your medium. The dust makes almost a clay like sludge.

Dont add perlite if you plan on going organic/reusing soil. Rice Hulls is a better alternative... they wont clog up your soil as they break down. Wish I knew that before I added a bunch of SS#4 into my living soil base, but ya live and learn!

Lol, you just added an extra paragraph, which I summed up with "keep the plant horizontal to give light to side branching." Correct, the reason we want the main stem horizontal and side branches recieving more light than they otherwise would, is to promote auxins to move into the vertical side...

Looks pretty good. Right on point for 3 weeks from seed. When it comes to node spacing, I don't think theres such a thing as "too close". Close node spacing means that not only are they receiving ample light, but its light in the proper (blue) spectrum to allow for dense/compact vegetative...

Not reading anyone elses reply (aside from one or two) so if I repeat anything already said, excuse me. First, you should pot up. Do you need to? No. Should you for bigger/better yield and ease/convenience? Yes. More soil = more moisture retention. That means watering less often, and using...
