Sorry to start another thread about this situation. I have gathered some information about my issue but the question is much different.

So one of my super soil batches has been cooking for 3 months and, as i have made probably around 12 or more 45 gallon batches in the past, this one fucking wreeks something aweful. I know its mixed well, as i always use a mini tiller on a large sled. From my understanding it did INDEED go anaerobic...this i started to notice at the end of all my fucking transplanting.


The huge super urgent question is, what is this going to do to my plants? Should i be conerned? Right now they are in a closed roomwith a dehumidifer to try to dry the soil out, and of course an air purifier cuz stench lol.

Thanks in advance.
 
They are going to hate me but i ended up untransplanting them and dumping the soil in a huge sled i have outside. My concern is that its 10 degrees where i am. I am tilling the hell out of it every hour but the stench is still going strong. Probably let it sit outside for a few days?
 
The cold weather will just preserve the anaerobes it seems. When you go anaerobic the bacteria are slower to act but tougher to rid. I can't say I'd use it at all. I think u did right by your choice. Can't you get other soil? Or pot them in coco?
 
I had 3 other barrels cooking so i threw that batch out. So the trick is to probably mix them 1 time a month, dont over water them and make sure they get enough oxygen???
 
The more you mix the better areation you get. I'd be turning it more often than once a month if it were my pile
