Cool, coots recipe it is.

The recipe in the sidebar specifically mentioned horse manure compost, so I'd imagine it would be fine, though hearing from others would be reassuring too. I'll do some more research though.

holy shit that's highway robbery. Maybe I'm missing something, but those seem to do the same thing as homebrewing airlocks. With these grommets and these airlocks you'd be able to make 5 of those for about 15 bucks. Regardless, thanks for the advice, since cleaning up fermented plant material and broken glass doesn't sound very fun. Any ferments (or top dressing additions, etc.) you're particularly fond of?

As far as the LEDs go, I'm thinking of building 2 light assemblies, each with 2 BXRC-30E10K0-D-73 and 2 BXRC-40E10K0-D-73. That would mean 2 3000K and 2 4000K chips per assembly. Those chips drop 37.2V at 1400 mA, so I'd run them on a HLG-185-C-1400b and add a potentiometer to let me dim the driver down to ~1000mA, which would give me a range of 38-52W per chip. I think that gives me a lot more flexibility than a single monolithic light.

I've gone through a lot of iterations of my planned LED setup lol. If you'd have asked me two days ago I'd have said cxb3590s all the way, but 25 bucks a COB from digikey seems like a pretty solid deal. I haven't even checked kingbrite yet.

Your response was super helpful, much appreciated!

I have read that some people drive over them with a car. Other folks have even said they have just given up on breaking them down. They toss them in whole.

1/2 inch isn't too bad, really. The ones I have are about 1 - 1.5 inches. I think I'm going to toss them all in a 5 gallon bucket and drop a sledgehammer on top of them. I personally would like to see them 1/4" - 1/2".

Remember there are other types of aeration. I'm also going to use rice hulls from a local beer craft store. I'm also kicking around the idea of using activated biochar (it's aeration and good for soil life). Hence, my 1/3 aeration is going to be mix of things.

Also, someone sells pumice stone on Amazon:

The problem is it's like $30 for 5 gallons. That's not even 1 cubic foot. It's fancy, don't get me wrong, but jeez.

Anyway, good luck with your soil build.

I've been searching for aloe vera powder that is cheaper than what is available at Build a Soil. I found this on Amazon.com and seems to be similar to what you purchased. This is made from the whole leaf and not just the gel which is why it's so cheap for how much you get.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008WNUUDY/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_121_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41GWsSm8uSL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C71_&psc=1&refRID=EQ37K7FCEDN40JNQNHEW

Is gel only extraction better than whole leaf as far as benefits to the plant? The only difference I see would be using more of the whole leaf powder each watering than the 200x gel only powder which could negate the cost savings. I ended up with 60 grams of USDA certified gel powder from Amazon for $36. Only a couple dollars saved ordering on Amazon than Build a Soil.

Bt is very dependent on how well it was stored by the distributor. I've had the best luck with this.

It's gone up a little since I purchased. Little creative home depot, I used garden hose splitter and tapped off my washer. The discharge ran into sump pit. I bought the extra float valve kit and let it fill a 5 gal bucket at a time that has a drain nozzle I drilled into the bottom. Works pretty well.

I'm not an expert and I don't know how productive or counterproductive regular spraying will be, in terms of the spider mites getting a tolerance to the spray, or the soil microbiome being affected, or residual spray harming the predatory arthropods.

If you're doing no-till and have enough humidity, I believe you can get by just on predators and no spray. I'd just get a mite combo like https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00I0ZXU18/ from the beginning and they'll be able to maintain a population just eating detritus if they can't get mites. I got that combo and it cleared up an infestation on a green onion plant and some strawberries that had reemerged a second year running.

I also got hypoaspis miles for fungus gnats and i can clearly see them running around in my worm bin 5-6 months after application. Better yet, they eat dormant spider mites underground.

The reviews on that link are informative. Some people spray until flower, like you propose, and stop for a week and spray water before they deploy predators. Maybe that works better? Beats me. I imagine it takes a while for the predators to start a population so I start them early.

BTI stays active for about two weeks, i would mix a tbsp of mosquto bits with water and water with that, dumping the bits on the soil. Worms like to eat the bits, they're corn cob chunks.

I hear ladybugs work great against spider mites but they may wipe out predator mites too, I'd do one or the other.

Read this. Permaculture is nothing new, but its not a concept most look at. Its a way of using plants to help grow other plants, taking advantage of each plants unique features.

Just a note, Jeff Lowenfels has a related book you can read free if you have Amazon Prime. I’m reading it now.

Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web, Revised Edition

Edit: Will check out Joshua Steensland.

Word. You'll also need a small air pump and a length of rubber tubing.

I just followed this diy tutorial video and used this build plan!

The plans are originally scaled for a 32 gallon brute trash bin but I scaled mine down to a 10 gallon!

Im using a 950 gph pump (60 liters per minute).

1/4 inch. Here's the link

I just shopped on Amazon. was cheaper when I bought it so I guess the tariffs are kicking in. I also bought a CO2 Rain hose but for my second tent I just made holes in some tubing I bought at the hardware store. Right now I'm just going to run 1200 at the 4th week of flower and go up by 100 each week until week 8 and then drop to 800 or off till harvest. Looking at my average right now it's around 1200 naturally and I'm in week 2 of flower. I've got a 1:1 GG#4 crossed with AC/DC that's stretching like crazy and I keep having to tie down.

If your soil is peat or wood based and you have no liming in there then pH or Ca/Mg deficiency may be an issue. I use these pH test strips to get an idea of my soil pH.

I bought one of these for a reservoir . I painted it black to prevent anything nasty from growing inside. I have it about 4 feet off the ground and the pots are a little over 1ft off the ground. It's enough to keep my plants in a 4x4 tent from getting thirsty for over 2 weeks.
