While it would be faster to wet down the oats and under cook the rice....i dont really have to speed thingz up. I figure if the native soil holdz indigenous microbes and fungi that are present in the damp and/or optimal conditions given...they will inoculate/colonize the oats and rice at their own pace...also...i get lazy..this is (perhapz) a easy way to get my populations increased (...random theory :) )

I will add some organic coconut flour tomorrow....with a update on proceedings. :)

No not around any bamboo
Too lazy to get oats wet?! I'd hate to smoke your lazy bammer lol. All good growers are Marfa Stewards...just look at hyfoot. He lives in the kitchen.

Okay just tried this, and I still can't get the overall bud to focus. It's either trichs or orange hairs...not both. Did look a little better. I can't really take them out and hear my family bitch about daddy's flowers smelling the place up.

use a cree globe bulb in a clamp light over them when you take pics. added high cri will improve pics. I still have a shitty camera but playing with the settings and the high cri of IG helps with the pics.

Does my CMH not have enough CRI? These combinations of settings is why I never really never got into the whole photography thing. Auto is plenty for family/friend pics. Guess it is a good thing to know seeing how pictures capture that moment...and bud porn lol. I'll keep trying. I'm not doing anymore pics until I get this right...how's that for motivation.

your cmh does have high cri of 93. highest out. The RF or what ever frequencies from the ballast interferes with the camera. If you could make a farad cage around the ballast that would block the frequencies.

Yeah i have seen a couple of his videos...and they are very good...i guess what i am trying to do is take a few short cuts....and im not looking to store the IMO's so its ok.......although maybe i can add some raw sugar at some point...'one pan wonder' i guess is what i am going for... :)

I just loaded up my 1 cu ft worm bin with a cup of roasted egg shells and 1/2 cup dolo. Good grit and no cal mag worries. I've seen Hawaiian farmers fermenting egg shells. Wonder whats in store for your Mg FF.

I need a morter and pestle. That shits a bitch with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Probably why there's still shells in my bin from weeks ago.

Fyi target has 18 gal sterilite totes for $4.99 for worm bins or soil storage

I just ground up some brown rice and then MnP'd it into a powder. Threw it on top of both my worm bins...one bin had a bunch of clover with roots! We'll see what I get. Has anyone transplanted with it yet? I'd like to do a side by side when I get this stupid DIY bubbler to clone.

10 Daze in....few changes to observe...

IMG_7104.jpg
The pure white fuzz has given way to a multi-cultural extravaganza of colour ....no sign of black fuzz though so this is good (not a racist comment.. :-P )
The fluffiness of the fuzz has also changed into a more tacky, compact texture

These little brown beetle type beasties and the long white critters are loving this pile of coconut flour...food for the gods!
