    4x4 bed with 16 plants. 12/12 from seed to harvest.

    Has anyone done this successfully? I'd love to see pictures. I'm thinking of doing this. Chop males when they show and plant a new seed. And just continually harvest whenever ripe. Never using the 18/6 cycle. I'm pretty sure a plant can produce 1oz growing under 12/12 from seed. I'm ok with...

    Living soil recipe doesn't smell too good?

    I used kelp meal, neem cake, crustacean meal, gypsum, oyster shell flour, basalt, and grounded malted barley. All of these amendments obviously smell like dried seafood.

    CO2 level variations?

    I use a tank with a timer. 15 on 30 off. My ppm levels swing from 500-1200 up and down. Is that harmful? Without co2 at all levels are constant at 500. I was just wondering if swinging levels can actually hurt more than help.
