Welcome to the group... Got sum nice lights and like how u got one big no till bed per tent...
Im actually in the experimental phase of that. Ive done a run of 4, 5, and 6. Going to try a run of 9 and maybe a 16.Welcome to the group... Got sum nice lights and like how u got one big no till bed per tent...
How many u grow per bed usually?
Cool man, I’ll check you out
Nice selection, there’s some classic flavours in there.
Thanks, This selection is brought to you buy all the single freebies I had laying around.
Thanks!
You know, if i was doing a smaller set up, id rock earthboxes. Have you been watching the 10x10 series from Build A Soil? The second season he's got 3 5 gallons going in a quadrant of the 10x10. Good stuff.

I stoner ramble too. lol you're in good company.*pre-edited - stoner ramblings - beware!*
I've watched those, but I run a lot of regs. That means either having a multi-plant bed that's too full or has empty spots. I am quick vegging (I thought) for only a month, but I am trying 3 weeks on a few plants. I just like growing in the pots, and I'd like to figure a way to make it work. If I am growing the plants for a month or longer in cups then 1g pots waiting on them to sex, they are growing in something other than the living soil with worms I guess? I am going straight from a mini beer-cup to the 5g to see if that helps. Anyway, I watch and learn, but I don't always completely trust the guy that wants to sell me another take-n-bake kit
I can understand the theory of the soil being depleted by the plants, but I want to see the testing on the 5g he is doing now. and some of the stuff he wants to try - he is also proving that it is theory that you need a big bed. There is every likelyhood that he will find that the 5g do great as well, and it's the system, not the volume. Its not that you need a big bed, its just that a big bed is less work. With my bed being automatically watered I dont need to topdress them. All i do is water them and mulch them. Have you ever looked into Soil Food Web Gardening by Dr. Elaine Ingham?
Here's the part he doesn't cover - I am counting on worms and microbes to process the food for the plant. If I keep the worms alive and keep adding top dressings, castings, compost etc. throughout the grow - aren't they just continuously processing what the plants need? They are, but not anywhere near fast enough. Adding in some Kashi can help them along but in 5 gallons you would proly still need to feed them.
I drop beans every month in a multi-tent rotation and one thing I am trying besides dumping and reammending is having a few pots out of the rotation. I cut the main taproot out of the center but they still have worms, whatever cover crop is left. I just keep them moist and let the worms work on the roots and other dead and dying stuff for a month. I scraped the mulch layer off just before planting, added a layer of compost and a layer of castings then just put the seedling straight into the 5g. Back when I did 25 gallon pots, I would have 4 in growing and 4 out resting. Worked well for about 6 years, then i had to dump and, remix and amend it.
I have one tent that is going through a re-ammmended grow and it seems fine. I have plenty of smoke and am juist replennishing my buffet with a little of this and that so trying stuff that doesn't work won't bother me. I am looking to get into breeding some strains for myself. Thats why I popped all these seeds.

Thats awesome. I also use aloe and coconut. Dont really do SST anymore due to laziness. Avacado tech is new to me. I have yet to look into that really. Good on using the bokashi. Only thing I do now a days is grow clover, water in some BIG 6, top dress with craft blend every 6 months. I also let me beds rest between grows. Like right now both beds have been resting for over 30 days.
I use a 2.5” hole saw and just put a plug right beside the old main stem, and reuse the no till pot as is, I know a bunch of guys in Nelson that do this and it’s golden, after I got home I tried it on a few plants after my chop and it works unbelievably well, plus it’s easy af. Of course I only do this with organic grows*pre-edited - stoner ramblings - beware!*

yeah I dont pull anything. Actually everything stays in the bed. Here's a pic of post harvest. and then 2 weeks later. I changed the watering system over to drip line from the Csprayers. The sprayers were jacking up my humidity.
