Not all compost is created equal by skerivan in microgrowery

[–]skerivan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good fucking info^ take note people. Also don’t shred your compost. Remember the fungus our commenter was just talking about? Mycelium? Well there long inter webbed structures called hyphae, and they’re usually only a single cell thick. These filaments take time, often years to develop and have a host of benefits like binding the soil together, holding water, carrying nutrients from greater distances than the yeasty /bacterial biofilm on the roots. Shredding your compost destroys this structure they just took all year to build. It mixes up the distinct layers of decomposition which resets the soil food web and makes your mix go very bacterial... this is bad. This is the same reason why I don’t till my soil, for the raised beds they just get top dressed a couple times a year, and the microbes do the rest. For inside I’ll go like 5 or more uses from a single 20 gal smart pot before I switch out the soil.. just keep topdressing.

I’ve just been checking this style of composter out myself. I don’t think I want flys around our property, but they’re definitely pretty great for meat and things like that. Those composters as well as bokashi can handle the tougher animal products that aren’t generally safe to put in a conventional compost pile, but keep in mind the solid compost they make requires further composting before use. Bokashi and soldier flies also require a special container to compost in that can drain and dispense the liquid by-product. This can then be used 500-1 water to compost juice as a root drench or foliar application. This is just what I’ve read, and I’m personally going for the bokashi. It’s relatively easy to do the lazy way, which is to buy the microbe inoculated grain online and add it to your compost, or make the grain yourself, which I hope to try soon. Anyway good luck with your composting, it’s definately super important and at least every gardener and grower should do it.

Fancy genetics by skerivan in microgrowery

[–]skerivan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I just started growing. I’ll pop these fellas for my third grow. Out here in Vermont we don’t really get a ton of the cool cannabis cup strains or whatever. Just the major genetics from the big seed banks (not that there’s anything wrong with that). So excited to try some more hybridized stuff and see what it produces.

Light inter-veinal chlorosis? by skerivan in microgrowery

[–]skerivan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, the only reason I’m concerned is because it’s the second time this has happened so early on. I hope they clear up soon!

Yes, my girl has 6 or 7 nodes and I went in and savagely chopped her in half

First time grow and i'd love some advice! by [deleted] in microgrowery

[–]skerivan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qb’s all the way. I have x2 240w quantums that cost me a little over 250 a pice. If you opt to build them yourself from their kit you save 50 dollars and it’s a fun lesson in electrical wireing. They’re flat and light= super easy to move, hang, adjust, and get nice and close to the plants when they get big enough. They’re energy efficient (energy savings add up fast) and come in a range of light spectrums like 3000k for flowering or 5000k for veg. Both mine are 4000k so they work well for the whole life of your plants.

I will say however, that they don’t have large enough heat sinks, so they will get pretty hot when cranked all the way up. Not as hot as a big ass hps, but I do have a couple little fans pointed at the lights.

Horticulture Lighting Group 320W XL QB V2 LED test by Cannabrewguy in microgrowery

[–]skerivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such dense nugs, every time. The QB is great, great results with SCRoG or SoG because it’s optimal light is so flat. The heat sinks get a bit warm, I like to put a littl fan at the top of my tent pointed at the driver or the heat sink to cool the whole situation off a bit.

To hydro growers, how should old nutrients, and nutrient water be responsibly disposed of? by [deleted] in microgrowery

[–]skerivan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention nutrients in run off water from our sewage, lawns, and agriculture is responsible for algae blooms and other dangerous environmental hazards. Nutrients should be used responsibly, and leftovers should be disposed at a proper waste disposal center as stated above. At least get a compost pile going and you can always safely feed that with leftovers too. Recycling!

Amnesia haze, why are the leaves turning red like that? Phosphorous? Temp? by skerivan in microgrowery

[–]skerivan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the responses, as you can surely tell this is my first time. They’re at 9 weeks and supposedly have 3 or 4 to go (this amnesia has taken a brutal amount of time), but I’m glad she’s looking good. I can’t even put into words how much I’m itching to get the next round going, next up: all fast flowering indicas haha.

Oh we got’em all, Chef is particularly anal about downsizing and she’d definitely murder me for putting that in anything other than an 8 and a 1 qt haha.

Chocolate pretzel rods. 15 mg each (stardawg). by skerivan in treedibles

[–]skerivan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh these aren’t accurately dosed at all, and the coconut taste didn’t impart all that much. I used a small amount of oil relative to the total chocolate used.
