What do you think the difference is in layering vs mixing up all the same ingredients in a homogeneous mix? I'm guessing maybe the perlite layers adding extra oxygen?

And, if it is the perlite layer, I wonder if it could be as simple as mixing everything else except the perlite and then doing layers. Most of the other stuff doesn't bring a ton of air to the mix so if that is the differentiator maybe it could be simplified to just layering perlite, then general mix, then perlite, etc.

Thanks @Carmen Ray, sorry if I felt a bit dismissed. No harm no foul. Let’s make some buds!Not at all! If that's how it came across I apologize. I do know how to grow plants and I need to listen to my experience is all; and I have a hard time telling people that. This is only the second time I have started cannabis seeds directly in soil, so it was good to follow along, thank you. All my previous starts were either in peat pucks or in those cups that biodegrade. I conclude that I like the direct into soil method better. I did lose you on the up-pot but no serious damage was done, so it's all good

Hey @BubbaKush909 - I’ve done it that way too, it works great. I’m trying @Bill284’s layering.
Good morning again Azi.
I mix all the ingredients in coco first and let the microbes grow.
Then I add that complete mis to the potmin layers.
The coco in between the layers of coco or soil provide a constant source of air to the roots.
Making overwatering more difficult.
Improves the speed of growth and health of roots.
You end up with huge healthy roots.
Stay safe

FulvIa Flower Day 70
Elora Flower Day 70
Strawberry Banana Day 19
Strawberry Banana saying “what up potting? Transplant shock.
Fulvia getting closer.
Elora. Looks small next to Fulvia. She isn’t. She has long, dense, frosty sativa buds. Each branch holds a ton of bud and a crappy trim. Lol. This is the clearest I’ve ever experienced of two distinctly different phenos of the same strain.

Ok, so the answer is yes? Meaning the layers are really the soil inputs all mixed together and then separated by the aeration layers of either coco or perlite?Good morning again Azi.

Yep thin layers of perlite on bottom.Ok, so the answer is yes? Meaning the layers are really the soil inputs all mixed together and then separated by the aeration layers of either coco or perlite?
Getting thicker as you go up the pot.
All laced with Bokashi, frass and @DYNOMYCO
Great for roots, so many benefits.

Ah I’ve been doing it a little different, but I’ll adjust to this. I’ve been going coco, perlite, sprinkle layer of bokashi then frass then coco then perlite etc. I would guess it’s a nominal difference. Either way the good stuff is all there, everywhere.Yep thin layers of perlite on bottom.

As long as you fill the pot with it, it grows everywhere.
Either way you got it to work.

Blame me I've got big shoulders.Ok, great. Then I'm going to try it and if I doesn't work out, Ima blame @Jon .
But I'm not worried.
You layer an air pot as I suggest I guarantee the results.
You will really enjoy the growth rate and volume.
Bill284 Method for the win again.

Yeah, but Jon endorsed the concept, so I'll still blame him.

Note @Azimuth - I endorsed it in that it worked great for ME. I have no idea how it will work for YOU. You may not have the skills.Yeah, but Jon endorsed the concept, so I'll still blame him.

Fulvia Trichome Porn
She’s got a real nice, thick blanket of trichs and smells like Fruit Loops cereal. Not Fruity Pebbles, that cereal smells different than Fruit Loops. This smells just like Fruit Loops. No shit. I actually have some Fruit Loops cereal. I’m gonna do a side by side smell test with my next buddy who stops by. Inevitably their smelled will work better than mine. Lol. She’s close! A week to 10 days I’m thinking?
