    Spider Mites - Long-Term Solution

    Hi all, I have had issues with spider mites in my tent for about a year now. It is a 65-gallon pot with organic, no-till soil. I've tried neem, dr. bronners, and just spraying with straight water. These seem to deal with them in the short term, but they always come back. I've read that they...

    Malted Barley substitute?

    I am using the Clackamas Coot mix/routine (mostly). I've got my no-till bed all set up, going great. Top dressing with Malted Barley Powder, Kelp, and Neem. I'm having some issues with the barley though. I've been getting a rash on my hands when working in there. Just wondering if other grains...

    Time lapse photos

    I’m looking at setting up a camera to do a time-lapse of my tent. I think it would be neat, and even useful to compare between grows. From what I read, I’ll need an intervalometer and a camera. I found a couple intervalometers on amazon.ca(I’m in Canada), but they say compatible with only...

    Lux vs PAR meter

    hey guys, so I’m wondering about using a lux vs PAR meter. I read a while back that there’s is some conversion for CFL/ fluorescent light when using lux, but that it doesn’t work with the blue/redLEDs. What I’m wondering is, would a 3500k CREE COB be able to do this type of conversion, since...

    Flies ruining plants?

    Does anyone know what these are and how to get rid of them? They are in the box I have set up for my clones. Haven’t made it into my flowering tent, only a few feet away though. Thanks for the help. I was thinking about using neem(more than I already have been). It’s an organic grow, also.

    Worm bin capacity

    so I have about a pound of red wigglers in a 10 gallon fabric pot (16” diameter, 12” height) I’m wondering what the upper limit of worms in there will be, when they populate the bin to the fullest? Ready to set up a second one, but I’m going to be taking about a half pound out for my new...

    Cover Crop for Indoor No-Till

    Hey guys, so in nearly ready to set up my organic no till bed for my next cycle, just waiting on the bed itself. I’m wondering what cover crops have the most shallow roots? I obviously don’t want them to compete too much, as I’ll have 4 plants in a 65 gallon. I have alfalfa/clover growing in...

    How hot is too hot?

    Hey guys, I usually run my grow tent at 75F and I’m having a hard time keeping it under 77 and even 78 sometimes. It’s a 3x3x6 foot tent, have a 4” exhaust fan running at full right now. It’s in my basement, which is around 65-72 degrees, more like a constant 70+ right now. There are two LED...

    Incubating Red Wiggler Eggs

    Hey guys, I just separated my red wigglers from my unfinished vermocompost, and transfered them to a new bin with much better bedding. I noticed a ton of cocoons in the “vermicompost”, and I’m wondering what the best temperature is to incumbent them? I read 50F for breeding, and 70F plus for...

    Worm Bin Questions

    So from what I've gathered (mostly from clackamas coot), aeration is key to a good worm bin. So basically, you use 2 parts aged manure or thermal compost, and 1 part lava rock/pumice. What I'm confused about is what happens to the aeration when I'm done, do I just separate it from the castings...

    Neem/Karanja cake

    I bought some neem and Karanja cake, and it’s in pellet form. I have some Neem meal from somewhere else and it’s much finer. I’m just wondering if I should grind it up at all for mixing into my soil? I know I should grind it finer for topdressing, but just want to be sure. Here is a pic with...
