What have you tried to do so far? It looks pretty abysmal, I would start again.

I'm sorry. No offense meant you but it is what it is.

Maybe somebody else thinks they could help you bring it back.

On the bright side your soil seems to be able to support life.

Did you use something like the product in the amazon link that you posted earlier? Maybe you burned it?

OK, we had a big day for the garden over here!

I went and picked up two 5gal buckets of fresh EWC.

All my plants, even the seedlings, got a healthy topdressing of EWC, and a small watering.

I also bought 2000 red wrigglers. The guy also gave me enough bedding for my first run of the worm bin.

I set up the bedding about 2-3 inches thick, sprayed it down till sponge like in saturation, then added the worms right in the middle. I covered them with a bit of bedding.

Then I pureed a mix of 1/2 banana and banana peel, some grapes, baby carrots, and strawberry tops, and spread that mix out in clumps around the bin, but not over top of the worms in case they don't like it, and covered the food with bedding too.

And now I wait and hope I don't kill them!

:-)


Edit: also I'm making a tea, a handful of EWC and a dollop of agave nectar and it's being bubbled by my 571gph air pump. With those ingredients it is 24-48 hrs correct? Do I dilute the tea before watering?

Nice! Did you go to Starr Valley Farms out in Ann Arbor?

He's a great guy

I didn't come right out and ask him, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that he grows weed.

I haven't asked him either.

Does he smoke? I haven't asked either but I've resisted the urge to whip out a fattie J every time I see those dreads!

Hahaha he's a great guy, I could talk worms for hours with him.

Haha! Passing a doob and chatting about worms would be a blast with him.

I'm trying to line something up to have him come out to my kids school to do a lil vermiculture seminar. I bet the class would really dig that.... and what a great thing to get kids interested in at a young age!

Yes that's a great idea! I think it's a great idea to get kids involved with soil and the growing of their own food.

I want to give small containers of EWC to people to topdress with and see a difference!

I gave a small coffee cans worth to my neighbor tonight. He was so excited to toss it on a plant and see what happens!

I'm excited to raise a worm population!

I also think its a awesome idea to get kids involved at a young age ! im going to study these things but now im growing tiny weed plants instead of doing the more important stuff, chop chop chop lol two immature sativa's but ill probably grow a 3 metre outdoor soon with no till thats been no tilled for decades lol ! Shit guys indoor is beautiful but 5 months is a bit overboard !

Anyone ever try and put two ladies in a 15 gallon air planter? I've pondering how reasonable of an idea that would be under 600 watts.

I ran two clones in a fiver a while ago. Overall it looked like one fat nice bush, but there was most assuredly dominance from the one clone, she went three times larger than her sis. So for clones of one type I guess it works great, but two strains IDK

I am pulling every two weeks :P I keep laughing my ass off at the South African method of veg, flower and pack up. Commit for a year or two at LEAST, get your cloning game up, seperate veg area, choose some mothers and make cuts almost daily. Keep your favorites and flower. I throw away a lot of clones that are not on par, and I can do this because I am busy every day making sure there is something fresh to flower. I can run single cola SOG style right next to Christmas trees. It is all about the rhythm. You are lucky to pay for your gear off a first run. Perpetual flow. Treating indoor like outdoor will end up being a bit overboard yes.

no I have not used it but was thinking about it. Is it organic safe with the soil?

before transplant was doing teas after t plant did humid acids, aloe, and was gonna do another tea. damn no offense taken. any advice is welcome! I hope she's not dead. Anyone get some reputable seeds from a good bank lately?

Southern Soil, here is my suggestion for your scenario: you need a buddy system. Between you and a friend or two (you were a crew of three far as I recall except if that was somebody else), you need to keep a fast, potent mother. Or two or three I mean it doesn't matter. Not everybody needs a big mum at first, the mum can be at one house, a mum at all, two, whatever. So lets say you have to go do your prac, now you pack up and spend three months away. Four weeks before you get back, your buddy makes fresh cuts, roots them and sets aside under a t5 or whatever. You get back, fork over a few bucks for his effort, case of beer, however you guys work. Clones come home and go straight to flower in your freshly cleaned rig. A good Indy and six to eight weeks later you are cropping. One cut gets grown out to a mother so now your buddy can take a holiday knowing when he gets back the favor is returned. Most fellas are not in a position to function without a buddy system, lots of people here have set up their entire existence around growing medical weed. So guys like StOw are capable of holding on to lines and keeping a good rhythm without interfering with their daily existence, and as a matter of fact enhancing it. Where for ninety percent of us, this is not possible, a buddy system is the only road forward. The Americans have got buddy systems down to such an art they are called 'Co operatives and similar official sounding names, and they can get very big and a lot of knowledge does the rounds. We need the balls to follow that example, our grower community is totally split and isolated ATM. EDIT: NO MATTER THE SIZE A RIG IS NOT A RIG WITHOUT A VEG AREA even if it is just four t5's.

ooooh only noticed this now... Yeah start fresh man. There is no coming back from this. You will find all the help you need here with these people on this thread, but trust me we will all be at a loss to fix this here. It will be an epic fail anyway so fastest road to a crop is get back to square one and re build a soil or at least let us know tour exact mix. We can take it from there. Also, what is your climate like in that tent? How hot, how close is the lamp and what lamp etc, what do you use to germinate under, how big is your area and vents and extractor... The more parameters tou give us the better the feedback will be... Take heart mate we all have runs we would rather forget.

I have only met one dude with dredz that didnt smoke. And turned out he was only taking a tolerance break... Not a hair style that has caught on with squares yet lol. I just never discuss smoking on a business premises people can get very funny about it. If i run into the guy at a featival or whatever then he will have a blunt waved at his face for sure, but far as I am concerned the guys at the hydro store just really like bright lights, pumps and rockwool with a deep and intense passion
