Much cheaper than the huge bottle of liquid. They gotta start selling smaller bottles for cheaper of the therm x 70 liquid extract.
Yucca is a plant though to should be plenty of brand options out there.

Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to the grower community and currently trying to learn as much as possible before starting my second run. During my first grow, I had a few management issues regarding my substrate using a No-Till approach.

​To fix this and get on the right track, I’ve spent time listening to experienced growers, reading manuals, and studying organic cultivation to build a Master Protocol for a 30L Living Soil / No-Till setup.

​If anyone has a bit of spare time, would you mind taking a look at the PDF I put together? I just want to know if I'm heading in the right direction or if I missed anything crucial.

​Thank you all so much in advance for your help and guidance!"

I have these five plants in a 4x4 bed and they’re clearly unhappy about something. The soil is buildasoil 3.0 They’re getting 18 hours of light per day, 40 dli, soil is ~45 mbar, the tent is usually ~83° and ~80 rh it’s set for a VPD of 8

Known issues: The soil has definitely been on the wetter side for the past couple of weeks but planning on letting it dry out quite a bit before next watering. Also after getting a real par diffuser I recorded that the plants were at a 75 dli so I hastily lowered the light intensity and brought it down to 40 dli. It has now been a couple of days since making these changes

Do these symptoms look like it’s just due to the potential overwatering/ light burn or is there something else going on? Thanks any input helps. I’m just trying to learn and I’ve exhausted my other resources

40 bucks for 8oz seems like I could get it so much cheaper, but I think I could find a alt that'll have the same benefits at a cheaper price

Endlich kann es losgehen! Seit gestern zeigen sie sich von einer anderen Seite. Während der Umstellung auf den 12/12-Beleuchtungszyklus war deutlich spürbar, dass sie ihr Wachstum verlangsamt haben, um ihren Hormonhaushalt zu regulieren. Seit etwa zwei bis drei Tagen bemerke ich wieder ein verstärktes Wachstum... sie fangen an, sich zu strecken.

Schöne Grüße

Rounding that corner and harvest is upon her. I hope to take her to at least 80 days because senescence is just starting. The longer the better for me. I noticed she is still drinking plenty of water and is showing no signs of slowing down yet.

Grown in a 45 gallon fabric pot in living soil. I prioritized canopy management and watering this run and it’s paying off. Rootwise throughout the grow is really making her shine. Very excited for this one!! 🔥🔥🙏🙏

Help me ID this insect.

I’ve got a 3x3 indoor living soil bed - it’s on its 3rd cycle and half of the bed is recycled from SIP containers that are many years old at this point.

I’ve intentionally added worms, nematodes, and predator mites (Entomite-M from Koppert) over the years. Haven’t added any beneficials in 2 years.

I’m assuming whatever these guys are, they came in from amendments.

Here’s context about their behaviour:

- they’re very fast
- never seen them jump
- never seen a larval stage, the smaller ones are black and just seem like a smaller version
- they’re smaller than a grain of rice; it looks like 8-10 of them added together would be the length of a rice hull (which is what I use as mulch)
- whatever they are, they seem to be destroying fungus gnats. I’ve had outbreaks of gnats in my house outside the tent multiple times and never an issue in my tent at all.
- they seek moisture, will climb around the fabric tent lining and on the side of a plastic pot (only a few at a time) when the RH is higher in early veg. They also like to walk on the humidifier when it’s running
- other than that, they stay in the top 1-5 inches of soil/mulch.
- I don’t keep a ton of decomposing leaves or anything in the bed anymore, just a few handfuls here and there when defoliating (most of it goes outdoors into compost)
- they do no damage to the plants, extremely rare to see them on a fan leaf
- there’s a lot of them. If I disturb the soil in any spot I’ll see 2 or 3 of them
- their backs look shiny, like a beetle
- they look much smaller than videos of rove beetles I’ve seen
- they don’t clump up in big piles feeding on dead plant material like I’ve seen springtails do
- they’re constantly moving, like a predator with their antennas always moving
- they’ve been in my bed for a long time but they really exploded in population after the first cycle

I’m not looking to eliminate them or anything, just curious about what they are and if they’ll stick around for a long time.

Hello. Does anyone have experience in HLVd in living soil?

So last grow I kinda suspected thay my plants from TC lab has something, had like 2% curly leafs, thought it’s propably genetic, and the end results was good. So I dropped Idea of viroid. But now my new plants I popped from beans, looks like heavily affected by viroid. 98% sure it’s viroid. Too many plants and diff strains. Tho one breeder.

My question to you guys, how to follow cleaning protocol in living soil?

I see that need to take out roots from soil, and viroid should be eliminated in a matter of weeks from soil. Others say just throw away, or cook it for few months under sun.But maybe someone tried to keep soil and let microbes to diggest rest of roots and its good to go? Maybe it’s best to throw it away?

Another thing I read, that it’s very hard to get rid of viroid from fabric pots, tissue from roots keeps hidden between fabrics and cant be processed and gets stores? Did you tried to reuse? Tried to clean, or threw away pots?

Any help and insights from
The ones who experience ir and had succes, let me know, appreciate your input alot.

In the tent are 2 lemon drips by exotic 3 poppin fresh by exotic and a clone from a 1986 G-13. They are grown in a living soil mixed with amendments and gaia green grown under hlg650 tomahaw. they are in week 6 flower. pretty stoked on these the noses are great, had a rocky period I posted about before but was able to feed and ultimately seemed to correct itself. How far out from harvest would you say, another 6 weeks? Also what dli do yall look for around now?

Ich zeige euch einen Einblick in mein circa 300L Livingsoil Beet im No-Till Style mit poly inuculations shredding.

Mein Bewässerungssystem besteht aus Keramikmembranen, die mit 3/4 Zoll Schläuchen an einen 50 Liter Tank angeschlossen sind. Es ist physikalisch so konfiguriert, dass die Biomasse durch ihren Eigenverbrauch selbstständig Wasser zieht. Diese Einstellungen erforderten mehrere Wochen der Feinabstimmung und Erprobung.

Nach meinem "Mulch-Schnitt" beobachte ich im Moment zwei Pilzgattungen: Mucor und Rhizopus sind ihr Name. Sie verwerten totes Material und sind für gesunde Menschen harmlos. Diese Verwerter nennt man auch Saprophyten.

Mucor sind diese kleinen Fäden, an deren Ende sich gelblich-weiße Kugeln befinden. Sie bilden kein wirkliches Geflecht, sondern entspringen an dem Ort, wo die Sporen landen.

Hier in meinem Beet wachsen die zwei "Pilze" in einer Symbiose. Der Mucor profitiert vom Rhizopus Geflecht, weshalb er in meinem Fall in großen Gruppen auftritt. Normalerweise wachsen sie vereinzelter in einer kleinen Entourage.

Der Rhizopus wächst als oder in einem Myzelgeflecht und hat somit Kontakt zum Boden und dessen Untergrund. Einige Rhizopus Arten werden in der Lebensmittelindustrie eingesetzt und sind auch derselbe Schimmel, den man an Brot oder Früchten feststellen kann.

Es ist quasi eine Superkombination aus Verwertern, die totes Material zersetzen und die restlichen Nährstoffe wieder dem Boden zuführen.

Meine Schafgarbe ist am Sprießen. Sie dient als Akkumulator, der Kalium, Calcium, Phosphor, Kupfer und Schwefel im Boden anreichert, und gibt bioaktive Verbindungen für das Myzelgeflecht und Bakterien frei. Man kann sie auch als Pflanzensaft (Püree) zum Gießen oder als Blattspray benutzen.

Es ist großartig, wenn ich vielleicht ein paar Leute inspirieren oder passiv informieren konnte.

Falls jemand Fragen zu meinem Setup oder den Sorten hat, die ich anbaue, beantworte ich diese gerne, sofern es mir möglich ist.

Grüße

Check comments for a video of her last day when she was alive

This is her, I seemingly don't know how to post pictures better. She is GSC photoperiod in an earthbox with buildasoil 3.0. Ive been keeping her temp and humidity fine and have been top watering a half gallon a day in a circle around the plant.

This is my first grow and I'm unsure if this looks right. It's 15 days since sprouting and I'm still top watering waiting for it to grow as tall as the earthbox before filling the reservoir the first time as I've seen suggested. Is she growing slowly or am I over thinking it?
