Idk how well that would work on the small scale that you would be able to achieve in a tent though.@Dale's Proper Bud. Thanks for the reps!its pretty interesting. You basically create an aquifer with rock and sand at the bottom that I think also functions as a filter/ph buffer
Nah I get that, my point is that the depth of each layer needed for it to function as it would in nature would be counterintuitive to indoor use unless you have exceptionally high ceilings lol
Its based on ratios not real life measurements of natural soil horizons. I definitely don't have room for pots taller than I am, lol. He uses 2.25" bedrock layer, next was 4.5, then 9...
I haven't watched the vid. Doesn't matter much. You're never gonna duplicate, indoors, what is outside. A living soil no-till bed in a tent is a big commitment.
The first round is just like any organic large pot with a cover crop. A cover crop is a must in a bed. In pots, it's mainly for conservation of moisture and food for worms. In a bed, a cover crop takes on other uses/benefits. One of the biggest things is to take up the nutes in your media and make it available sometime later for your girls in later grows. As a living soil no-till bed matures, it does compact. That cover crop roots, indoors, keeps those avenues open when you chop n drop and then you girl uses those root avenues. In soil outdoors, the covercrop root stem breaks up the lower soil structure and can bring up those nutes to make them available. Outdoors, covercrop choice can get fairly complicated, but is based on your particular soil structure.
The only time your light will be off is when ya chop, drop and cover and wait for your worms and microbes make quick work of it, before you can plant your next crop of canna.
I think it can be very productive. You need good access all around. I might do it when I build my grow room in my shop.
And that's if I wanna play around some. I have one more thing to prove to myself with EarthBox Jrs. I want to make sure I can use my flowering KNF nutes without them getting into the rez. I've done it with the Regulars, but they have much more media. I have one more top dressing on my current grow......at least that's what I have planned. I have something to use that quickly uptakes, if they run into flowering problems.
Once I do that, Jrs are gonna be my mainstay in growing. It's too simple not to do it. Pots will be for sexing regulars and if it becomes legal, outdoors.
