As far as i believe its C99. Its a clone that i got way back when i joined RUI almost 10 yrs ago. It was before Pineapple express, Pineapple chunk or any others came about. Its a BIG producer with really nice Pineapple/Tropical fruit flav. Not citrus/lemony, sweet Pineapple all the way.

"way back when i joined RUI almost 10 yrs ago"

This made me go, "holy feck!", it's been nearly that long?

I've been doing some research on no till. For the most part I've been practising ROLS so this just seems like the obvious progression. I have a whole bin of worms that have been eating all winter who are looking for a new home and I have many new condominium complexes, luxury 5 gallon cloth pots, where many families can move into any day now. ;) I remember you, DST, saying you're doing this now. Anyone else and any thoughts on this?

No specific question. Just asking if anyone else is doing this and what stands out about it. Experience, tips, etc. I've already read and watched lots about it and not looking to start a deep discussion but always looking for opinions and ideas, as well as feedback about things like how the changeover was, how's it working out for you, that sort of thing.

I did living organics for the better part of a year indoor but stopped. Still do it for my outdoor stuff though (veggies) so I can provide lot's of feedback, but let's not tie up the 600 club talking about that right.......

Start a thread and tag me I'd be happy to partake and I can provide some links to YT videos if they haven't been taken down

Ok Evil, you're right, maybe I was a bit broad so I'll start with some more background. First question I'd like to ask you thought is, why did you stop doing it indoor and what did you change/go back to? Thanks.

So, I have a legal plant count of 50 plants, meaning anything with a root. This is how I will be dividing it all up for rotation. First I'd like to note that I've just invested some money into 20-5 gallon fabric pots and I'd like to stick with those. I will also need to obtain more to make this work and keep it uniform.

My flower room is 8x8 and I'm using half for my plants, which are under 2 600 HPS lamps. I can fit 9 pots, tightly, under the light spread and can open them up slightly for growth, etc, and what I feel good about, for each light, so 18 total. In veg, I currently have one 4'-4 bulb T5. Shortly, I plan to obtain a second 4 ft, but this time a 6 bulb, or maybe I'll start experimenting with some LED's, idk yet. Either way I will also be getting a 4x8 tent to hang them in. There I plan to run another 18 in veg. I prefer longer, 6 to 8 week veg's so the rotation should work well. That leaves me 14 to play with for clones, seedlings, mothers or fathers. In a nutshell, I think I'll need 36 to 45 pots total rotation. Am I crazy thinking of doing it this way?

As I said, I have my worm bin, which I just took outside and gave it a nice flush and feeding and found tons of worms in it, so I'm good to go for them. Curious how many worms you guys introduced to your system and if you have to ammend them at all?

For cover crop I was thinking of starting with clover and for straw I was thinking of something I've used before as a soil amendment, and in teas, and I found they worked fantastic and that is alfalfa cubes. The ones used for feeding horses. They're compressed like a coir brick, using only bentonite and water, and convenient as hell for container gardening like we do. Also, it's cheap as hell. A huge 50 lb sack is like 15 bucks. Anyway, I've used it as a mulch before so I'll stick with what I know here, I guess.

DST...curious what you mean by 'trays'. Are you using something longer that holds multiple plants?

Here's a video about those cubes.
