Pots nicely done, you’ll be surprised how far you’ll fill them ..... as for lights that something I’m working on myself, I’m probably going to upgrade to a 5x9 tent and have individual spaces within the lager tent - keep ac heater humidifier and all the climate equipment inside the tent - looking at options .....
OK let’s get down to biz and I’m not going to make any decides, rather I’ll try to explain how I did ...... Bein this is my first LOS Grow I did a lot of studying before doing, for sure didn’t want LOS grow to turn out like the first “LOS Grow” did, I was using
OF and my worms, had no drainage - dummie me and other issues and then I found a link on AFN .... now I’m practicing what learned and outside garden experience...
Worm Bin .... I use an Urban Worm Bin - They are a flow thru worm bin, easy to use and setup, well built .... I singed up for Steve’s email alerts and have learned so much from Steve, he responds to emails, backs his products .... recommend .... meanwhile you need worms for living soil and for your bin so you need to buy and get started - OR other option is to buy compost from buildasoil or KIS Organics ..... that works almost as well and I have bags from each and use but I also have my own worms bins and are using that compost in the grow as well and I have three kinds of worms but the worm you want if only one is the Red Worm and then second is the African Crawlers and finally is the Euro Crawler or sometimes called the BIg Red Eorm not to be confused with the smaller Red Worm ..... the smallest of the bunch is the Red Worm and they eat the most ..... link for Bin it comes with or without frame, I got with frame
https://urbanwormcompany.com/buy-worm-bins-books-and-castings/ I can’t stress enough how important these guys are .... if you don’t have worms, grow another way - I mean you’ll do fine but don’t count on knocking out off park ... baseball season is here
Worms and dirt stuff continued .... I started raising worms for my garden 9 months before I grew so I had that resource at my finger tips and I had all three kinds cause I was thinking maybe sideline biz, bait biz but that ain’t happening so there was the resource ..... you can have same in about six months so meantime I recommend purchasing high quality compost and yes, I compost and top dress - mulch day one .... light on top dress and compost but normal on mulch first time .... then toss ground cover seeds into and spray ....
Moisture .... I use one recommended from a podcast on KIS and it available on the Jungle Giant for around $58-$60 - I trust Tad from KID and listened to all 46 podcasts, some more than once ..... podcast 25ish about blumat water, think there are two podcasts about water and blumat .... I like and trust the one I have and it has helped ..... my next grow I may do 25 gallon pot for,photo but I’m also looking at large SIP containers .... check out Sam’s Post from the start to see Sam’s SIP .... with sip they do need to condense under the plastic cover, indoors that’s challenging so you need to spray under the plastic - discovered a why to make that happen in veg but not in flower so spray - outdoors you simply water thru a spout / 1 1/12 pipe, imuse a funnel .... moisture is always perfect, I think it rivals hydro .... SIP Plastic mulch cover also prevents earth pests from even happening, they can’t get thru .... another benefit but as you know BRIX over 12 and u should be good, I’ve got my meter and just found used old time garlic press at thrift store somtrsting later after I take care of biz, I’ll post on Sam’s Post .... on Sam I see 9-10 colas that when dried could be zip per, but remember this is my first real grow, I posted my BS grow where I thought adding worms and mulch to
OF was living soil, yea right dummie, .....
See blumat on jungle giant for $56 shipped ..... high value plant, long term hobby was my thinking, I saw cheap too but I listened to those podcasts so maybe I was tainted .... by the way, if you only listen to 1/2 of one podcast on KIXX make it number 3 with coot himself, our living soil “founder” LOS, considered by many to be the Master, my soil is based on his recipe ..... ... final note on SIP - your soil mix may not work in a SIP, soil needs to be heavy in peat, my mix which is two bags of store bought coot based mix plus EWC and worms and bat guano and kelp, food wicking soils - that’s the one thing I see in post after post on SIP Containers, they don’t work, I couldn’t get water to draw up ..... yea silly rabbit you used
OF,
OF won’t wick, it’s not built too wick, it’s built to drain ....
Flavors.... Plants like Gold Glue, Strawberry Nugs, Sour Livers .... smaller and more compact plants for a seven gallon not saying bigger strains can’t but LOS is not magic, it’s just balanced in that plant has resources to draw from, and, if a certain resource is drawn down and not replaced it goofs everything up, a large plant may draw down too much .... what we don’t want to happen is grow to be just average, knock it outa the park, boy, you can do it ...... counts 3/2 here comes the pitch and wham baby, get out of here and the park, yes!
May not of covered everything, ask more, lovin’ it, u da man!
Getting excited.
