I have a little homemade worm farm made from those plastic storage bins. Everything has been working well. I want to take the castings from the lower level, which is now full, and my understanding is that I should stop feeding the lower level and feed the upper level to get the worms to move...

How big of a worm set-up would I have to have to make 50/lbs of worm castings in a year? I don't know much about worm farming, but a friend is doing it and I'm going to look at her setup. I'm thinking 50/lbs is the minimum I would like to use for indoor growing and back yard vegetable...

I have this stuff called "agricultural lime". It has Ca, Mg, and Calcium Carbonate. It's pelltized vs. dolomite lime powder/flour. Is this stuff a substitute for the dolomite lime powder/flour? Same dosage? Does it break down slower with pellets vs. powder? FWIW, this stuff is more...

If a plant takes 10 weeks to flower indoors, how much longer will it take outdoors. I have some outdoor plants in containers that are 2 weeks into flower. I'm at the same latitude as Phoenix, AZ-32 degrees north? Just wonder how much longer I'm looking at 2 weeks? 4 weeks? BTW, these are a...

I want to veg out some plants under MH in a tent for up to 8 weeks at a time. Do I need 400w or 600w? In the Cervantes book, he is saying that 400 will cover a 4x4 area well, but I am concerned that the plants might be kinda tall, not overly tall. Wondering if I need 600 to penetrate...

I have seen a recipe for renewing used supersoil. I can't find it now-anybody know it?

I have some plants to which I have added AACT type teas. I'm just wondering, do they respond in, like, a week-or does it take months for the little added microbes to get busy? Sometimes my plants will have little growth surges, and I can't tell if it was rain, cooler temps, or what. These...

Went to this place in Ruidoso, Compassionate Distributors. It was killer. They had like 20 strains available for sale by the gram. I came out of there with about 10 different ones. About 7 of 'em are total dank kickass, the other 3 were not as strong, but good. Staff was knowledgeable and...

Anybody have any experience good or bad with licensed producers (not sure I'm using the correct term) in Santa Fe? I'm going to be up there in Sept. and I was wondering if there was someplace good there to check out? I'm a licensed patient in Southern NM.

In general, which subcool strain has the best yield?

I just got some real green, fresh horse poop, and sheep poop of indeterminate age (not really familiar with sheep poop). Can you bubble this stuff to make a tea? Does it have beneficial microorganisms like worm poop would?

I see allusions to Fulvic acid, but I can't quite get a handle on its use. How do you use it? In what form? How do you use it in tandem with Humic acid? Do you think it helps? Is it worth it?

I was mixing some regular base soil for growing some plants. I had some peat, perlite, Miracle Grow "Organic" soil (looks like shredded yard waste from the dump, no perlite), and some worm castings. I mixed all this together and realized that it was probably a pretty inert, sterile mix...

My wife just bought this "Envirocycle" compost barrel and it looks pretty cool. It has this one questionable feature in that it catches liquid from your compost, with which they advise you to water your plants, undiluted, as a "tea". "Tea" is their word for it. This sounds more like stinky...

I live in the desert. I have plastic containers full of super soil sitting outdoors. When I use this stuff it will be about 8 months old, BUT it is dry a lot of the time. Am I getting any benefit from super soil sitting there bone dry? I probably need to work harder to keep it more...

Okay, to make worm tea I put about 5 gallons of tap water in a bucket, aerated it for 12 hours to try to get rid of chlorine. Then I added about 2 cups of worm castings in a mesh bag and 2 tblspoons of molasses. It's been bubbling for about 36 hours. There's no real foam, just some bubbles...

It seems like there is so much Skunk out there that I'm not sure who has a good IBL Skunk. I'm thinking PeakSeedsBC is a contender? Who else? I am starting to realize that a lot of weed I like may be derived from Skunk. I'm thinking I've never had your basic Skunk IBL, but I'd like to try it...

Subcool identifies males showing their sex late as a 'recessive drug trait' that is a desirable visual cue in breeding dank. Does a male showing sex late mean that that strain will have a longer flowering time or take longer to grow?

Contemplating a V SCROG with 2 1k bulbs (adjustable down to 600w) in the center, surrounded by 8 plants on 8 vertical screens. I have a 8" exhaust duct that I could put above the "hole" in the middle of the garden and suck heat out that way-or do I need to put some cool tubes around these...

I'm am thinking about doing a vertical SCROG with a couple of 1k watt bulbs in the middle, and eight screens, forming an octagon of eight plants around the lights. The number 8 is the legal limit for my wife and I, not a tribute to Chuck Norris (hopefully the weed will kick my ass like Norris...
