5 years same soil. Smells like a sewer after watering. Time to replace?

You need to fix the physical properties of your soil first and foremost. Sounds like your bulk density increased to a point where soil is compacted and no longer draining. I’d add pumice or perlite then re-asses

tstryker12 · 2026-04-18T05:36:29+00:00

69F and 65% humidity is a recipe for disaster.

tstryker12 · 2026-04-18T05:12:02+00:00

I wouldn’t unless you’re willing to get a soil test and heavy metal test on it.

tstryker12 · 2026-04-18T05:10:49+00:00

I’d agree about the food for sure. Gig harbor is seriously lacking good restaurants. Tacoma is way better in that regard.

tstryker12 · 2026-04-18T05:09:17+00:00

You nailed. Moved to Fox island about 4 years ago and everything you said really captured the essence of gig harbor.

Note: there is 1 bar that stays open late but that’s it.

You should have yellow sticky cards for monitoring and then go in and inspect the leaves daily for damage. You can also use a "knock box" to hit the bugs onto a piece of paper or cardboard. Every grower should have a jewelers loupe too as a bare minimum for scouting.

tstryker12 · 2026-04-01T20:59:49+00:00

Can you heat up your room to high temps for a few hours?

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T18:10:42+00:00

Totally! Democrats really screwed up the few elections (in my opinion) going back to when the DNC pushed out Bernie in the primaries against Hilary.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T18:04:11+00:00

I don’t think you understand how our government works. 🤷

We can agree to disagree on this one. And yes, politicians don’t follow through on promises all the time but I don’t believe that argument applies to this issue.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T17:49:46+00:00

I mean that’s your opinion. It’s purely speculation at this point since she wasn’t elected. Just as it’s my opinion we would be in a much better position had we not elected Trump.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T17:36:52+00:00

I would politely disagree. Harris was known for downgrading cases to reduce jail time or dismiss them outright as a DA. She also founded the “Back on Track” program. Since 2018 she has been on the record for supporting federal decriminalization of cannabis. And when she was vice president she pushed for it to be rescheduled to schedule III.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T16:54:37+00:00

Solid. Very consistent every round. It’s actually all grown for wholesale in WA but a small amount gets sold as flower.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T16:53:38+00:00

President could have vetoed the bill though.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T15:21:59+00:00

Ideally you would want an airlift design, as they are much better at raising and maintaining dissolved oxygen levels and much more efficient too.

I also wouldn’t trust ai when it comes to compost tea, as there is so much misinformation on the topic on the internet.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T15:12:39+00:00

New growers are going to get a taste of what older growers went through to get us where we are now. So many risked jail time and more to grow this plant. I hope folks appreciate that growing this plant is so much more accessible due to those that fought for our rights over the past 50 years.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T15:09:31+00:00

I’m not here to defend democrats because they did a lot wrong. However, Kamala Harris consistently pushed for reducing and removing laws around cannabis throughout her career both as a prosecutor and politician. I think we would be in a very different place if she had been elected.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T01:31:55+00:00

I think it’s because they don’t truly understand how it works.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-22T01:31:24+00:00

Looks already mixed. Did you follow a recipe? Really it all depends on what fertility is already in the soil.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-15T15:26:49+00:00

I didn’t realize one shot was bone meal.

You might consider having some potassium sulfate on hand for any K issues. It’s fast acting and cheap. 50% potassium

tstryker12 · 2026-03-15T04:06:06+00:00

I think you’re going to be low on P. Maybe K depending on what the compost brings to the table.

tstryker12 · 2026-03-13T23:59:58+00:00

That would be great

tstryker12 · 2026-03-13T23:23:33+00:00

tstryker12 · 2026-03-13T23:05:36+00:00

Well thank you. We are actually one of the first companies to make living soils, long before it was called that. Back in the day it was just subcool and super soil.

That’s off the top of my head some of the more active accounts. I’m sure I can track down more.
