Bugs still give me nightmaresLove the bugs and buds
but I'm learning living soil isn't so sterile lol but seriously I don't ever want to see a spider mite ever, I will burn this mutha down.
I was actually surprised at how big them tiny mites can get!Bugs still give me nightmares
That being said the Brix video's and Gee's thread both talk about plants being so high in brix bugs avoid them. So hopefully that's what I can get too
although I don't tolerate brown recluse. They die on site. 
Ahh ya I don't care about spiders or slugs but spider mites will absolutely destroy a plant and can be an absolute nightmare to get rid of in a garden.I was actually surprised at how big them tiny mites can get!
I'm opposite, I won't slaughter slugs or spiders..I'm eventually gonna get myself a camel spider
And an awesome view it is!Day 38 of 12/12
I sit on a bucket to work on this tent and this is my view.
So the surface is much better. I had to mix in a little perlite after the worm castings made it slightly muddy but ya drying much more even as well. I'm going to get a Brix reading tomorrow so I'll know if there will be another Dolo water on Wednesday or not.G, how is your soil surface doing? between smaller but more frequent topdressings, and the dolo water, are you noticing better tilth?
They look pretty darn nice, even the weird section is recovering.
And still 3 weeks or more
You are most welcome. Hopefully it helped others too. Thats what this place is all about
Gaia Green has been a decent way to get into organic gardening without having a ton of space for cooking batches of soil. It's also interesting that on my first SIP grow only one of the plants showed the Calcium deficiency. I was able to get 2.5 grows out of the 2.2lb buckets, $30 each was really affordable way to get to growing.You are most welcome. Hopefully it helped others too. Thats what this place is all about
It took me awhile to figure out the Gaia Green way. I still don't have it totally dialed.
Every now and then I get a leaf or 2 that browns it's serrations for no reason, so I suspect it may be a bit light on potassium, and next time I use it I will add some soft rock phosphate to the mix to up P a bit, but overall it's a pretty darn good and easy way to grow weed.
It should come with a giant warning about the fact that you need to supply your own calcium tho. But once you bring the calcium it goes high brix in no time.
Even if you mix your own soil, the Gaia would still be an excellent cheap topdresser I think.
You can't beat the price. $50 gets me a 22lb bag of it
You gotta love being able to see your calcium levels with the refractometer
They have lots of good products.Gaia Green has been a decent way to get into organic gardening without having a ton of space for cooking batches of soil.

My local grow store started to carry some of the extra things that Gaia Green offers on top of their base 2. Like Insect Frass and also Basalt Rock Dust. The Basalt Rock Dust may help slightly with the calcium, but I'm sure it's not readily available like Dolomite water.
Lol hopefully, the Tropicana Cookies should be finishing up in 2-3 weeks.
Never had that strain but sounds like a damn good cookie!!
Me neither but I've read that it's an energetic high until you hit the tipping point lol I like that I need all the energy I can get. I'm hoping the buds keep stacking because the swell will make them look amazing lol.
Will have to keep an eye out for your smoke report
not that I need to add any additional strains to my stash at this point. As it stands I think I have 2 years worth of first time grows :/
