I forgot to mention I also used charged bio-char and build-a-soil craft blend in the OP. The soil recipe, to the best of my memory, is at the bottom of this post.
IT'S ALIVE!!!
I wouldn't worry too much. It might be too wet though, you want it to feel like nice moist chocolate cake. If that's the case then leave the lid off and turn it until it's dry enough, then leave it be.
Thanks! I'll get on that. I think the biggiest issue is when I went out of town for the weekend for Easter I turned the AC up to 80. Inside the tote was pretty humid because of that with a bunch of water on the lid. Its good to know its alive though thats what I was going for haha.
Where did you get that recipe? I think it will be very hot!
So I admit I probably should have looked at a recipe first but I just took my vegetable garden and planter recipe but used more expensive potting soils and the rice hulls and pumice. The neem cake and build-a-soil craft blend are new additions though.
Yep you screwed it up, go ahead and send it to me and ill dispose of it for you..
lol j/k
sounds pretty good... throw some red worms in there and I dont suggest planting seeds directly into that mix.. Also let it sit for another month if you have the time.
Haha thanks man! The plan is to let it cook for about a month right now. And where I live is so dry and the new tent so big that I was thinking about starting the seeds for a couple weeks in a smaller tent so I'd have more control over the humidity while the plants are just starting out.
I was looking for some worms today actually as well! I may have to order them though. The nurseries I went to were out.
Whoooaaaa there tiger, lol.. You did all of this without knowing how it will react? What you're seeing is called mycelium.. From the mykos and Aziz.. It's a good thing.. But like all good things, there can be too much of a good thing..
What ratios did you use to combine all of that? Based solely off of reading the ingredients I'd probably try to grow an oak tree in it.. But not cannabis.. Definitely not an auto..
YOLO... but I actually did something similar to this on my first run, so I thought I knew what was going to happen. That was mykos, worm compost, FFOF, peat moss and perlite. I let it sit for a couple weeks to hydrate and cook a bit, but that was a few months ago and up in my cabin where it was probably 50 degrees where I was letting it sit. I also didnt know if it was mycelium or if it was another saprophytic fungi that could be more harmful.
I dont have the exact ratios but it was pretty close to:
1 cu ft rice hulls
1 cu ft pummice
.5 cubic feet build-a-soil charge bio char
~1.5 cu ft FFOF
1 cu ft worm gold compost
4 cups lime
a small packet of mykos
4 big scoops of azos
1 cup azomite
~1 cu ft peat moss
12 quarts malibu potting mix
This was divided pretty equally between 2 27 gallon totes. in one tote I worked in Neem Cake - West Coast Horticulture - 2.5 lb Bag and in the other BuildASoil Craft Blend - Nutrient Pack - 3 lb.
Would you recommend cutting it with something or are those ratios ok?
