    Building an indoor raised bed, S.I.P vs drained?

    I've decided to go no till after running recycled soil for the last 2 years. Here where I started and the mix I'll be using: https://www.rollitup.org/t/opinions-on-my-soil-recycling-amendments.945464/ None of the pre-made beds fill my area quite right so I'm just gonna build something. It's...

    Ballast issue?

    I'm running a 1.5 yr old nanolux 1000w dimmable ballast, I run my 12/12 cycles overnight. It's run off a 4 light controller, 240v, triggered by a mechanical timer Bulbs only 6 weeks old.

    Horse manure ok?

    I just found a source of composted horse manure, probably 20 years worth that just keeps getting added to. It's a pile about 70ft long and 4ft high. One end is pretty much well aged, black soil the other is fresh poop. I can't say I've ever really heard of anyone using it, but I'm assuming...

    Heating amended soil to speed up cook time

    I usually have 5 weeks for my soil to sit and cook, which has always worked good. I had some family issues the last couple weeks so I'm behind schedule. Would adding one of those seed starting heat mats under the tote of soil speed things up? I'm looking at about 3-3.5 weeks before i need it...

    "V" Notch stem instead of crushing

    Instead of crushing stems, anyone ever cut a "V" Notch into a stem, like if you were cutting down a tree, then laying it over so the cut closes up? I thought of this after crushing some stems last night, so i don't have any to experiment with right now. I'm thinking it would have the same...

So I got into it about DO levels in hydro with this douche:dunce:, you know who you are stay the fuck out of my thread:finger:, and really started digging into research.

    Grass alternatives? Ground covers?

    I want to get rid of the grass in most of my yard. I'm (slowly) turning it all into edible gardens and don't want small areas of grass I need to keep maintaining. I've been taking it down to dirt regularly with a weed whacker but that's getting old. What can I plant that'll overtake the grass...

    Opinions on my soil recycling amendments

    I'll start out by saying this isn't 100% organic, if this needs moving, I'm fine with that, just figured the largest knowledge base is in here. I'm going back to soil indoors after years of hydro and want to setup a soil recycling system so I dont have to keep buying it. Looking to build a...

    Indoor soil storage/ composting

    I'm going back over to soil after doing hydro for the last 2 years. Last time I ran soil I lost everything to a combined gnat/ aphid infestation. I'm pretty sure it's because I was bringing in soil from my outdoor compost piles. This new dirt is never leaving my basement, gonna use, amend...
