I can def handle that! That was what I was looking into getting 1st to sounds good! I made the mistake of not listening when dude at hydro shop said his soil was alive and to just water so even with nectar being gentle still wound up with all kinds of N burns and stuff cuz says soil ppm needs to stay 3-500ppm and soil being alive it kept it buffered so it never built up to that level til maybe 2 weeks ago! Ignored it on lil ones going into flower and never hit the ppm but no burns or def but gets old mixing 6 nutes every 2 days and having to slurry soil often! It’s made me see the full organic light!
NO NO NO ..... Less is More and Don’t overthink - let the plant do that - provide her a good environment and good living soil - amend soil with compost and water.
Gold Glue X Sour Stomper is aliiive!
I’m thinking worm bins I will need to put in extra office I use for drying buds since temperature can be regulated to what they’ll find most comfortable and I believe it was $75 for 250 red worms at local dro shop but online from breeder only $36 a pound so need to study what they’ll eat! My leftover from last soul I fed some water with recharge for extra microbes and I know it has fungus life n stuff cuz have mushrooms sprout in lil ones pots at times! Gonna add lil bit of appropriate nectar product to give lil microbe food today so I can let it sit another couple weeks and use in FastBuds solo cup grow! Is build a soil craft blend basically all the dry stuff you’d normally add into soil at the beginning but just mixed together to amend soil later when needed? Really trying to learn this well so I can say bye-bye to bottled nutes and can just feed the soil as needed instead! Thanks again for taking the time to help buddy!Here ya go mate . Soil that is living at the moment , it will be around 6 months old by time I use it [ 100 liters ] also remember you cam reuse the soil from a last grow , I do , just mix it in with a new soil base . and add what you want then let it cook a while , now less than a month so every thing gets to sort its self out and gain balance . I use the native worms from the soil around me and you will know it they are happy because they will start breeding , I know what they feed on so I just gather some from the yard and place in the bin , I do not use kitchen scraps , I use things like rain forest litter , old dry wood , and what ever I can find that they eat , I can't prove it but I believe this way I get a all round nutrient input and microbe feed as well .

Also just wondering if I need to buy an actual vermicomposting bin for the lil guys or is a dark Tupperware container good enough for them?? One website that sells worms for starting it has a starter kit but just worms, food for them, 3 burlap sacks and then a plain old clear plastic Tupperware box! My soils in a large black Tupperware box and have like 3 of them and for 1000 red worms only $25 for the worms alone! Is that all I need and then dump em in my soil bin with some food for them and wait? Just wanna get started in the right direction here! Thanks @hecno & also @MrOldBoy
Just started growing in Sept but already ready to leave bottled nutes behind! My only worry here may be horrible Texas heat cuz same site selling em said best temp for them is 60-65F I believe! Maybe said 65-70 but that’s rare in Tx!
