Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

[DonTesla]

So keeping in mind that I'm about as mechanically inclined as a field mouse, is this something that is within my reach? What's the scale of difficulty?

Look how beautifully simple this is..
Click click click
There's no room to mess this up once you know the right parts to order..
A list of parts is worth like 50.00 to me. I'm sure Petro will share with you on the Dons behalf for free cause your a cool ass cat and have been with us since Strong Week Number 1!
I mean, Lego has more wiggle room for choice here. It's locked in baby, clarity is mad power.

Dude, i knew nothing of the subject of DIY LED no more than 6 months ago...
(Fast forward)... Building 2 panels right now in between checking alerts here on RIU.

You're an effin Bossman in sheepskin clothing, son!
You need a wildly epic, lion-mane type, hemp robe for down in your LED dungeon factory shop.. Buffalo Slippers to match..With rabbits hopping around your worm farms, and sex-slaves slicing your organic fruit for you..
Oh man, I'd be finding ways to make that road trip more...
Show up like, How's them builds going bro? big smile on my face while I look around the corners..

Plants look a bit cold - they are covered with frost! hehe

Supra, Almost forgot about that genius.. I think Petro got taught by him too a few thangs.. I suppose when you get trained by the Fantastic Organic Four you become the Fantastic Fifth no vodka..

Hats off to all the pioneers simplifying them funny watt-amp-ohm languages..

I know Positivity has thermal imaging skills too

I just love that shit. Literally looking at our designs thrum thermal lenses before they arrive.. That's mad respect..

y'all deserve a Gravy Train Expansion Experience .. I better get me some gypsum.. Still want to know a good source the exact company and physical form .. I know that's like basic for y'all, spit it out please..
Lol

Big up big up
And big hoots

I only used it a few times when I was using coco coir, but it was just called Garden Gypsum. As long as it is calcium sulfate you're fine.

I decided to use it with coir for two reasons. 1) I was lead to believe that coco coir mediums will benefit from additional sulfur, and 2) Gypsum can effectively remove sodium from soil which can be an issue with certain brands of coir that are not sufficiently rinsed.

There are some downsides to gypsum too that I don't recall ATM, but as long as you aren't too heavy handed with it you should be fine. It's one of the more faster acting minerals so you should be able to observe the pros and cons pretty quickly.

 

[DonTesla]

Thats awesome! I strongly believe that our 480w of LED would stomp a 600w hps but i could be wrong.

On riu here, your boy, Who is that again using 600w DIY led to replace their TWO 600w Hps's..
I love it.. Primed for the first run, building a mother bed as we speak.. Got a brand new 6" inline exact match for equal dimmer switched air in.. Ohhwee son. The Forrest, Gravy and Koshers are gonna be soooo happy.

Is there something else you use for flavour enhancing? I mean, this stuff is tasty, but is the Rev wrong in that its not a big booster .. I think he said it enchanted the terpenes or flavonoids too a bit haha, typo, enhanced..
Edit: Still rocking a peat free mix btw with a hq, salt free, well rinsed, organic coir.. Leaf mold mix won't be gtg till summer

 

[st0wandgrow]

Bro your already there! Next step is too order the parts!!!! Get on it! Btw the right brain to pick is @SupraSPL , he is like us, Organic terrorist, a fucking genius! I'm sure he would be more then happy on getting you started, I'll put in a good word for ya, and anyone else for that matter. The led section is full of hydro foos, we need to flood that page with true organic shit

Gained all my knowledge from the LED forum. @SupraSPL 's threads are amazing.
Haven't soldered anything since grade 8 shops class. Still haven't. Have you ever wired an extension cord? Thats my electrical experience up until now. It's amazing how DIY friendly it is. Building 2 panels right now in between checking alerts here on RIU.

Great! I will start checking out Supras threads stat!

So I'm currently running 600 watts in my veg room on a 6 ft light rail, and I have 3 x 1000 watt units in my flower room that move back and forth over head about 18-24" on light rails.

- can an LED be used on a light rail?

- how many watts of LED would I need to piece together to replace the HID's I currently have, and how many panels would that amount to?

I will take this to the LED section tomorrow and not clutter this thread up further, just want something to chew on over night. I've been dreaming about worms lately, time to switch it up a bit.

Huh. That's news to me DT. It's a mineral, and will eventually end up as a dissolved solid..... which is what brix readings really revolve around, so the rev could be on to something regarding enhanced terpenes but I really can't say for certain.

I love the idea of leaf mold. I have a big ass pile that should be ready come fall and you best believe that I will be experimenting with that stuff!

 

[DonTesla]

Sorry it was Stardust Sailor who had the thermal imaging skills, my bad.

As for and back to ROLS, I was wondering where the hell that MSG you wrote about your whole in between crop game went, cause it was one hell of a tactful and smooth approach.. Gotta take my favorite msgs and MSG them to myself in potent hyper convo so I don't gotta bug ya or go off on a search like that guy from the Expedia beach commercial hahah

 

[Joedank]

Anyone ever seen these little bugs in their worm bins before? I've only had mine for a few months now so pardon my ignorance if they're normal. They're about the size of a grain of sand or so. View attachment 3358466

cocoons for sure . what type of worms ya keeping? anybody else put cardboard in the bin deep for breeding ? seems they love the protiens in the glue and the corrigations provide good coocoon grounds according to an old worm dude...

Red wigglers! I throw some spare cardboard in there every now and then. They swarm it so I keep feeding them it.

i feed mine alot inbtween layers of scraps ...hope there is not some poison that i dont know about in cardboard...

 

[Scotch089]

I love that were talking about a subject I can really dig into. LED fo' life.

The obvious perk is how much less you draw for the same output (given quality emitters), but some people don't understand how nice this is- if I wasn't LED I wouldn't be able to grow or would have to move up to a 20 or 30 amp breaker, and may not given the high wattage on my bill.

My whole system runs under 1400w, veg and flower perpetually, clone room and climate control/pumps/etc.

And 800+ of that is a heater/CA

Maybe the tapioca attracts them, lol. Desert for worms perhaps..
Without a doubt the babies love the cardboards canals, big time.
Even better than toilet paper rolls imo which i love, but I only like super clean boxes with no ink or tape..not so much for breeding or cocoons but for safe havens for babies, they are so smart it's funny..

I'll be watching your experiment for sure!, I'm hoping for great things...........would be a game changer imo

what the hell is an L.E.D.???

 

[DonPetro]

Someone should start an Organic/LED showcase thread...

 

[a senile fungus]

Michigan people, I'll be moving back to my parents horse farm this month. If anyone needs compost hit me up. I'll also be making a large leave mold pile @st0wandgrow , you can have a bunch if you'd like.

My parents have 30acres so I've got lots of grass clippings and horse shit and leaves to out in piles. Lol

Let me know if I can be of service.

 

[earthling420]

Oh yea, gotta keep it fresh and freaky homie! I had both girls in the one boyfriends bed while he was at work! And one time after that, he was passed out on the front steps next door and she passed out in my bed, had to sneak the neighbour back home with a big bear on the front steps, tricky sticky times, but Ill raise (and or penetrate) a fist to that! lol..

Lethal doses are too big to eat so od is np.
Ima monster on those puppies, only bad thing that can happen is your alter ego might sex-slaughter your neighbour, whether she has bf or not, or tell a fat pig where to stick it..and end up cuffed like I did. Or your mind body and soul separate for a bit, its pretty scary if you start wondering if u ever gonna be back in your body (consciousness is our ultimate form recall) but I would focus on how amazing it is.. Not too often you can astral travel while being awake dawg..

Basically life is a unfolding lucid dream and your thoughts manifest realities, once you realize the power of this and the power of being in your action body it's game on.. Sex is just a side-dish to the increased intelligence and more accurate life approach.. Fears the only enemy we must conquer

And yea you got it, word is he been sewing oats lil longer than ya boi .. He's like a dirty European swinger at heart stuck in a Canadians body .. Lol
Aren't we all settlers though? Lol, I say lets pop some bottles..
Now where all the RIU playboy bunnies at?

Of course playa! and lmao fuckin g man well played.
Naturally! good stuff, I agree man. Gots to enjoy da magic high. That's some enlightening stuff dawg, you had me thinking about that for awhile very cool perspective.
Hahaa i figured! Probaably Petro's?? o.0 haha We are and we must now settle in playboy bunnies..

120w DIY LED panel.

That's a sexy ass panel you got Petro. Got me fired up to start on mine lol I cant wait.

No need to shrink brotha, trust!

If you want a crazy secret trick, try investigating the bin real close for at least 30 mins.. Closer the better.. Zooming into pics even better.

All images get recorded by subconscious mind..automatically.

Then.. Relax.
Then.. Bust your strongest herb.. You're looking for one that has the terpene BORNEAL
it stimulates the third eye and allows for visual and psychedelic effects to occur more easily.

Then, take ONE MASSIVE HOOT, as big as humanly possible..
Then, don't move or talk to anyone.
With eyes closed, and a diet free of fluoride, you will be able to INSTANTLY enter environments of past, micro and macro worlds including.. If your bin inspections were soon before this crazy bowl (deeper = better so joints not as good) then you should naturally enter that world again, via consciousness, in its full living and present moving state.. It's AMAZING

Shamans world wide believe that microscopic lense views are obtainable thru consciousness alone.. Using the third eye they believe it is a dimension of its own when they travel thru blood.

Note ayahuasca ceremonies, it happens there too..with or without shamans thousands of ppl report "seeing there DNA, being "fixed" or "scanned" by energy beings of a different variety

Blood and DNA aside, you can "enter" your canopy or bin and "enjoy bug life views" at 20-100x magnification everyday if you like.. Especially and super easily if you have some Borneal herb.. And some way to relax and take crazy high quality hoots.

It blows my mind every time it happens..
Time for a bowl of Gravy! Mind weapons, mon, mind weapons!

Go nuts!
-DT

That's fuckin badass goddamit Tesla, I wanna have awesome trips like you someday lol working on it! Mind weapons blowing my mind mon!

 

[earthling420]

Haha! That's great

I'd love to attend your little reunion and pass the baton with you two. That would be a blast! I could go through the Don initiation ceremony and officially be crowned Don Key.

Shit Im down, two spiritual crazy ass organic led bud growin canadians! lol
