    Indoor No-Till Beds and Plant Counts

    Greetings ladies and gents. Something that has been on my mind a lot lately has been plant counts. For this discussion, let’s assume that we are talking about plants per 4x4 living soil bed. The plant counts for the medical program in my state force me to usually run between 6-9 plants per 4x4...

    Greetings friends. I sent samples of my living soil in for analysis. Bed 1 was at the end of flower while bed 2 was at the beginning of flower. Here are the results. Looking for some tips on how to optimize my soil. Any help is appreciated.

    Living Soil, Light Intensity, and LED’s

    Running a coot’s mix under Progrowtech LED fixtures. Nothing but stressed plants and burnt tips over the 9 months I’ve been using them. Can’t run the fixtures anywhere near peak power and canopy distance without issues. Can’t even run the lights at low power, 3 feet from canopy without the...

    Living Soil LED Grow - Deficiencies? Light Stress?

    Greetings all. Been running two sealed rooms since January now. Each room has a 4x8 bed of living soil. Above each bed are 2 Progrowtech EV700 spectrally tunable fixtures. I have a 12k mini-split in each room, dehumidifier on a titan Saturn 6 controller, and Co2 supplementation on a Saturn 6...

    Sustainable Trellis

    Greetings. My grow is modeled around permaculture organics with eco friendly lighting and climate control. I try to keep my carbon footprint as low as possible while reducing waste as much as possible. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to viable alternatives to the disposable plastic...

    Sulfur Vaporizer ?’s

    So I just picked up the generic “Grower’s Edge” sulfur vaporizer off Amazon with some pellets to combat a PM issue I’ve been having. I ran it in my veg room last night, but never did I see any sulfur vapor actually coming off of the cup. Is it supposed to produce a visible vapor once heated?

    Worm Tubes

    Hey ladies and gents. Currently running a coot style mix in 4x8 indoor beds. They’re 12 inches deep. I’ve got one cycle on each, and decided to add worms recently. Picked them up from the guy I get my castings from locally. Got to shooting the sh_t, and he recommended adding worm tubes to all 4...

    New Bud Growth Week 9???

    First time growing this cross. It formed massive, near symmetrical colas right away after the flip. They kept swelling through week 6-7, and then stalled while the pistils started to turn orange. During week 8-9, the buds started to put out off shoots, almost like a crown. My grow environment is...

    Name This Critter?

    I believe I’ve identified the first living critters in my no till beds. They are photophobic and hang out at soil level - not on the plants themselves. I set my hydrometer on the cover crop for a few and picked it up to find a few of these little guys crawling on it. They quickly retreated to...

    AC Selection for Veg Room With CO2

    Upgraded my veg room to LEC315 x2, in addition to some T5’s for clones etc. I would like to run co2 in this room. A mini split is out of the equation because I have no more blocks on my panel. I have plenty of amperage left on the outlets that feed the room to accommodate, however. I actually...

    Sun System LEC315 Wiring Questions

    Just picked up two 120v 315’s in 4200 with light rails for my moms and veg space. Had some questions about wiring them to a timer. My game plan is to plug them into a heavy duty shop power strip, capable of handling 1850 watts / 15 amps. Then plug that power strip into a standard Titan outlet...

    Vegging Mother’s in Living Soil

    Running coots mix with 1/3 EWC plus 5% biochar by mass. Was a little hot and/or imbalanced initially for my clones in my current bed, but that’s probably because it hadn’t cooked enough due to low ambient temps. Going to be vegging some mothers soon in 20 gal fabric pots. Wondering if I should...

    Greetings. First grow. Sealed room. 78 degrees, 65-70% RH. Living soil based on coot mix. 4x8 soil bed under ProGrowTech LED’s with spectrums dialed in for veg. The soil sat outside and cooked for 30 days, but is continually giving off co2 indoors forcing me to vent rooms to keep the levels at...

    Soil CO2 Emission - When does it slow?

    Greetings. Long time lurker here and have gathered lots of info. Currently just planted my first crop in a 4x8 soil bed (used coot’s mix). I’m in a tightly sealed room that’s about 7’6 by 11’. My soil was mixed outdoors during the cooler months here in the PNW. It sat for 30 days but I don’t...
