Outdoors in New England? Must be inside then yes?
.
Never had a place for veggies. The way the sun travels across the lot there's no place to plant them in the ground. And if I'm growing in pots, I'd rather buy my veggies and grow my own pineapples and cannabis
.
No more Kelloggs...checkBest (only?) use for dryer lint ever...makes your soil pretty AND provides aeration AND helps retains moisture.
Dirt from your yard is perfect (unless they spray it with chemicals). No more of that Kelloggs mix....manure is hot, and chicken manure is one of the hottest. You can keep what is in the bin there, but bury it in reg dirt and soak the dirt. Throw in more food, then worms. Since the hot ingredients are on the bottom the worms can avoid it for now and over the next few weeks the added water, food, and worm poop will titrate down and neutralize the hot components.
Worms bins output what you input...the worms just make everything better. If you have no old soil or other media...just buy cheap, (non-enhanced) bag soil (or two) and maybe throw in some new coir. I like coir for the same reasons I noted for lint above. If I didn't have it when I started a worm bin, I would add it before potting...but if I have it and need some added media volume I throw it in.
My starter for my bins comes from (approx) 10 yards of compost in various stages of decomposition that I have been cultivating for 3+ years. People drop their leaves and ashes at our farm...I even have a sign saying "Leaves Wanted" by the road.
1 gallon of new nute solution mixed with ½ gallon of old nute solution.
Ok thanks! Maybe I should flush it next time I water and start over around 600-700 nute TDS. I'd like to find a standard nute solution for Sour G, Gold Leaf, and the AK clone to stick with until late July. That's assuming they have the same basic veg needs, which may end up completely wrong!
I think you'll be fine with one nute for all vegging plants. Might have to cut it down some with a little water if one gets a little burn on its tips
That would be great Derby! I've been lucky so far with no burn on anything yet (knock on wood) but this Sour G is doing some weird leaf things the last couple of weeks. I may transplant it sooner rather than later and get it into a felt pot and see if that helps.
Thanks #forcedfriend! I can handle the variegation (which seems to be going around these days) but the ridges on the new growth is bugging me. Not sure but the Gold Leaf is starting to look the same. I'll get some pics in the morning.
Hey Dabbers, check out True Living Organics: The Ultimate Guide to Growing All-Natural Marijuana Indoors by The Rev. The best book I've read on the subject. An unexpected recommendation coming from a hydro guy, I'm sure, but trust me on this one!
The weight I get on a pineapple is greater than any malawi ever grown! It's worth it
. And it produces its own offspring with no CS spraying needed. Perpetual pineapples.Next time you should tag @TheMadDabber to make sure he sees your recommendation! One of the best parts of the redesign of the site!
Thanks Ripe! I hope so. Just in case, see below:
