Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

I didn't do a thread. For some reason the topic created a dust up here in the organics section over peat vs coco so I said fuck it and didn't bother. Plants turned out excellent though. Only difference I noticed was the coco coir needed to be watered less often..... which I didn't clue in to until mid way through flower, so the yield suffered a bit with the coco buckets. I chalked that off to less oxygen in the root zone due to my over-watering
Well you paved a good trail, anyway, my BushWalking Brother.. Let us not forget truth is ridiculed before accepted as self evident

It's exciting to defend our positions, blazing, yelling at the computer screen,
Wiser though, would be defending the best positions, haha.
How can we know what they are without compare and contrast I wonder, stoned.

Personally, I can hardly wait for our next-next blend..
Got two new tweaked recipes untested and I'm going nuts for the Earth Blend we can't build til spring, how funny hey, but it's radically different, finally leaf mold based. What's fun is cutting out all the commercialism and getting right natural, fuck is Mother Earth a badass goddess with synergistic solutions for everything..
The better we grow, the more we see through all the gimmicky, poisonous knock offs all around us, it's great ..

Wise words right there. I'm looking forward to some leaf mold magic myself

I'm looking at doing one of these for The holidays, nice diagram, just wondering what size (strength) of pump you went with and why you don't want the water level with the plants.. Wouldn't want gravity over watering for us

Respect

Hey thank you bro, i went for a pump that pumps 250 litre an hour, it has a shutter so u can adjust the flow though, as for the diagram i have changed the setup a bit.

All 4 pots now have a micro tap, i went and got 8mm and 10mm clear tubing but screwed it up and kept it aside cause it was too thick to build pressure, went for thinner back tubing cause apparently clear tubing cud build algae, ill take a picture of the setup later when lights come on so u can have a better look, i have to tweak the flow rates tonight and get things sorted cause tomorrow im leaving possibly till monday, i also have to tweak the level of the bucket id say just below where the pipes are is chilled or u could play around to see what u prefer, no doubt if u keep the bucket above it will siphon all the water and flood your pots lol, i did find that out while building, i thought the pump might of had a back pressure valve or sumthing but i was wrong although i could just buy one i guess. Peace Don !:leaf:
