I think the comfrey is a great idea. I've not used layer mash, but sounds like it works well. I feed my bin rabbit poop that i rinse with water to rinse of any urine and let it sit for a week before using. I'll feed about 50% manure with 50% used amended soil, then sprinkle it with a mix i made...

What do you plan on feeding once its up and running?

Welcome to the vermicompost game! I think you'll find quite a few people on here with their own worm beds. I just started my first worm bed a month or so ago and have a thread on here about it. Right now i'm just bidding my time with on hand bag compost and ewc's until mid october when i'll...

I know, they are small and i took a dozen pictures. The ones posted were the best i could get. I have a video that's a little easier to see, just have to upload it somewhere to link here

Thanks @growsince79 Anyone else recognize this? They don't look like aphids I'm familiar with and they are larger than i usually think of, but ive seen some pics of aphids that look similar to this.

Found these guys in flower today. We’ve never had them before, they are only on one strain, and they are all over the leaves and in the flower. The plant itself seems to be doing fine. I took a ton of pics and these were the clearest I could get. Any help would be appreciated!

It is general considered preferable to put everything into your soil that the plants need at the beginning. Top dressing is if your soil is running out of gas. The thing about top dressing is that you need to add it about 2-3 weeks before your deficiency shows up. If your using pots that are...

Mind if i ask what your soil mix is and what size pots your growing in?

@Wetdog is correct about the gypsum and oyster shell not being rock dusts. I group them together because they are all mineral amendments. Sorry, should have clarified that :)

I think you're fine with your peat:compost:aeration ratio, but personally, I would increase aeration to 5 gallons to give you a 1:1:1 ratio. At 1:1:1, your mix will make 15 gallons of base soil, which is 2 cu ft. I recommend you increase of few of your amendments accordingly. Mainly: Kelp meal...

Ive grown in 5 gallon pots, but i did need a top dress about 4 weeks into flower As far as what to top dress with, that depends on what you have access to. My personal top dress is: 2 parts ewc's 1 part aeration 1 cup per cuft of ground malted barley 1/2 cup per cuft each of: biolive kelp neem...

I do essentially 4 cups of rock dust per cuft but its a 1:1:1:1 mix of basalt:azomite:gypsum:oyster shell. I would say 4 cups per cuft is as high as i would go. I have no experience with granite dust though. If you're running out of gas during flower, get a gauge of when your seeing it fall...

Are you very concerned that the stress might cause a herm?

We had some spider mites about 3 months ago that were hard to get rid of. We are a fully organic grow and only use omri listed insecticides. I used spinosad sprayer 3 weeks into flower and it worked well. Spider mites disappeared and haven’t been back. Unfortunately we tested that flower this...

Thanks. I had thought ROLS was by definition no-till. I appreciate the info!

Whats the distinction between the two? I thought they were the same

Given that you are doing ROLS, have you considered the age of your soil as a factor?

3 days!? That's pretty rough. How many days are you into flower?

This was my question as well. I'm (finally) down to water only with a single top dress while in flower, but my plants are still being fed by the soil. How would you even go about "flushing" under these circumstances?
