Man that is a lot of stuff! No wonder yoir worms are happy! I was wondeeing, do Worms help or hurt pest issues. Like if you had gnats, donthe worms do anything positive or negative...or nothing really?

Worms do not eat gnats so I don’t think they help or hurt - I do see things like Rolly Polly bugs in the dirt but I don’t worry about pests - even outdoors when I get on the plants - they seem to be able to outgrow any damage they do but I am limited on weed indoors so not much experience - sure if they come around I will deal with but again not much experience with pests.

Yes indoors Pests can destroy grows or effect yield and quality if you do not address the issue, it will get worse. I knew worms didnt eat gnats, I just didnt know if they can help the plant with immiunity or anything positive.

I've read a few stories where people started farming their own EWC and that helped keep pests down. Not sure if it's because you bring less oustide shit into your grow, or better quality castings = healthier, less stressed plants (which in itself helps immunity).

Correct 110% with this to add ..... I am doing same thing as I did with Sam, no different except with Sam I only added soil to within an inch or so where in the Juniors I mounded up/over before planting and with Sam I was constantly grabbing a handful of worms/castings from the bin and applying- must of done that like 15 times thru the grow and my worm bin gets fed good I might add .....

Comparing grows and styles helps both of us and everyone reading!

I have an idea my friend. Next round you have available lets do a friendly grow together. We can do the same strain and see how the Worms effect the plant vs without. I dont want to call it a battle, more of an educational comparision. But it would be cool to see the Worms vs Without. I am curious to see if they will help delay the preflower hunger. However I didnt top feed ever, so I could get a baseline. Im glad I did. So I know they need help BEFORE preflower begins. I have everything I need now. So I am prepared for the whole grow. The preflowering hunger is the only time I saw a slow period on them. My goal is to reduce that transition.

Yes that is correct, worms do help in that when we fed them need for example, guess what the castings contain need making it an anti bug food and yes less stress equals less bugs

Stoners Memory but they actually talked about worms and how it helps cut back on the bugs - here is the link and they also talk about the SIP Container and Super Soil too .....

For true compare you should do one with worms and one without in the same tent with same conditions - even two of each for a “more true” compare but have perhaps next year when I do a grow around April we can get dialed in ..... When my current grow ends I will be taking more time off, perhaps short trip before we dig back in.

Outdoors is also different in that harvests are usually bountiful so you don’t worry about minor loss, especially when it is $4 pound product now a $1500 pound is another story.

Of course that would be the best comparison. But I have zero desire to use worms, I will leave that to you my friend!

Next year when I get set for another grow we can both drop same same and see where we end up at, I’m all in Partner!
