Yeah man we don't need to see any posts about how you cant work in your room anymore because a bear ripped your legs off! Definitely train your plants out in a way that they won't leave any gaps between each other where light is going down to the floor without touching any leaves. I run 1000 watts and aim for a light to canopy distance of about three feet, how close do you get with your 600s?
Totally understand that man. Haha I would've shit!
Keep us posted!
start saving all kitchen scrap & plant some Russian comfrey blocking #4 or #14 is sterile so it will not over take the yard
Dude I bet! You'll notice a huge difference in fresh castings vs bag ones right away!
Very nice! You'll be able to fertilize your plants all on your own in no time.
You are very right sir! The population will restore itself under favorable conditions, and yeah they don't all die. I was a little doom and gloom about it lol. Trying to make sure no one drops the ball lol.Hey Rasta, great writeup that you've done there!
I love the way you separate soil life and nutrients they are given to process, makes it all very easy to understand.
One thing I'd like to relativate, without getting too complicated: the microbes won't actually DIE under most natural conditions like drought, flood, heat or cold (unless extreme). Or even mildly anaerobic conditions.
Rather, they will usually go dormant.
Meaning, they can be coaxed to revive given the right environment again, but it can take a bit to get them back up to speed. And we can accelerate this process with a nicely activating compost tea.
So when bad things happen, it's not like all microlife will be wiped out (horrors! panic!), just knocked out a bit.
And they'll recover given better conditions
Cheers!
Ha I imagine any sane human would have shit theirself under those circumstances. Nice little write up @Rasta Roy
