what about this...

My grandmother grows the biggest beautiful tomatoes and she says she uses cheap potting soil 5 gallon buckets and says she put in 5 worms per bucket and keeps it moist for 30 days before she trans plants her plants. Would this work with bud. Adding worms to the soil and leaving them in the whole time

No responses? I understand it would turn into worm castings my question is would leaving the worms in hurt the plants or cause any problems?

I dont see how adding worms would hurt. I think it would be good. After all when you grow outside there are worms in the ground.

Going to try this method.

Well ill be moving soon after I harvest and won't be able to test so let me know lol

Most people just mix in worm castings in the soil. I had this idea myself when i first started, more because i figured they would help aeration and density of the soil. I dont know if it helped, my thought is no. It definetley didnt hurt though. Next grow i mixed in worm castings and pearlite with my soil, if you want to mess around with it go ahead, but i dont think it will matter. I put in 24 nightcrawlers into a 3 gallon pot btw.

what if you had bat guno in your medium, would you wanna add worm castings ?

Dtact , yes adding worms helps alot. not only does it aireate the soil its adds to the structure of the soil and the piss/shit from a worm is the best fertilizer in the (world). every but of ground u trod on in the world has been dig thru with worms( believe it or not). althought the worms u want for ultimate growth are tiger worms. if u just google your closet worm farm they will give u worm castings which come with worm eggs and worms. gl man
