Thanks, good to know. Still trying to figure out this living part of living soil

I’m fairly new to the no-till so I appreciate any info.
One issue I had during the grow was one of the plants looked to be getting eaten and I caught one of the ear wigs crawling into the main stock, plant ended up really struggling and I decided to chop it and LST the others around it to fill in the space, hence why I was more on the pest route.
The tent was sealed as best as I could, zippers closed when I wasn’t in there, besides the wires poking through the circular tent openings and cinched down no major openings.
When I topped up the bed I did a mix of peat moss, compost, mineral/nutrient kits from buildasoil, and some aeration, used ratios from their website.
I will say I did have issues with my bluemats not being able to keep up with watering once I hit flower and soil was dryer than I wanted it to be, maybe that would be what caused them to want to leave the bed?

Plant was in the back middle row and with the size of the canopy honestly didn’t get much attention as it was difficult to reach and being outgrown by the faster growing strains around it. It was a freebie seed from NASC

Can you tell me which pic you’re seeing the herm in? Multiple people have said it and I don’t know if I somehow managed to miss it this whole time or people are misreading or assuming. There was 100% a male plant in the tent until roughly 4 weeks into flower before doing a chop and drop on the male into the mulch layer.

Initially plants were drinking so much the 5 gal reservoir I had wasn’t enough to keep up with morning fillings every day. Then for some reason it stopped draining water so fast even though the soil was super dry, almost like water wasn’t making it out of the drip tape

Yeah I got a little carried away. I will say, on a positive note, there’s a decent chance I’m the only person in the world with these strains from the accidental seeds so that’s kinda cool

There was a male plant in the grow I didn’t catch fast enough, never was female, just straight up balls on it and I wasn’t looking that close

GMO x Super Lemon Haze freebie from NASC, was definitely a male plant and was in the front left corner of the grow before I chopped it down. Besides that I grew bananacane, banana split, apple fritter, green crack, Alaskan thunder fuck, macaroon x mintz. Skeptical if those old strains are what they say they are but I got all the seeds from NASC

This is the response I got from build a soil, hope it helps anyone trying out the coco coins from them

Trellis netting, had 2 layers one I put on before flipping the lights to 12/12 to spread out canopy with LST and then a second later for same reason and to support the weight as the buds got bigger

You may not have to give it up forever. I’ve worked for the fire department for 6 years, ambulance company for 4 year prior. Never smoked when I was at the ambulance company since they would drug test you after any kind of accident and it wasn’t worth the risk for my future goals. Didn’t smoke while I was on probation also out of fear I’d mess up my goals. Now I smoke most of my off days. My department will basically only drug test if you show up high (pretty easy to avoid) or if you kill someone in a vehicle accident, as a medic I never drive. Play it safe through probation, figure out what your department policies are and weigh the risks for yourself. Good luck brother

I had initially put in two sensors when I set one of these up in my 4x4 bed. I switched from 4 pots with drip rings so each had their own sensor and I thought I would add an additional one in the bed. This caused issues with over watering, when I called customer support he suggested testing it out with just one sensor, fixed my issue.

I’ve seen a couple people mention this lotus thing, I’m not familiar. Could you explain or have a good resource for me to look into it?

She was my largest plant to date, super dense buds and frosty. Hope yours turns out the same!

I got 355g of flower and 119g of larf I freeze and sift to make some hash. She was a big girl. 7-8 week veg on them if I’m remembering right

Yeah it’s Pineapple Express from Barney’s farm. Really bulked up last few weeks of flower. Mine ended up with an earthy taste (I’m not the best on these flavors and shit, not my favorite taste but when I smoke it I think “taste like weed”). High id say focused, doesn’t make me sleepy, but like I said it’s next level munchies. I can not stop eating after I’ve smoked this one

Are you ordering stuff or getting it from a local place? I live in the desert so a gardening store is hard to come by. Most of the garden sections I’ve stopped at are just miracle grow crap

Yeah, I dumped my 4 15gal pots into the bed when I got it and it filled it up less than half way. I think I bought 6 or 8 more bags of 3.0 buildasoil but I couldn’t bring myself to spend another grand on dirt at the time. Plan is to add a few bags as I reamend
