Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

Fucking gorgeous GS! Address lol?

While on the subject. How important is it to have airflow underneath these cloth pots? Would it be wise to place them on milk crates if they need airflow? Should I have my soil cooking in these pots? Right now they're in trash cans. When I squeeze the soil it stays clumped but breaks up easily. My compost was wet due to the climate.

SteelHeader,

Not sure if you have checked out my PHOG links in my signature? My cloth pots sit on top of silca rocks (hygro-mite) that reside in shallow storage containers filled with water. For I use passive hydroponincs to water and provide oxygen to the roots that grow through the cloth pots into the water reservoir.

This provides a self watering system to work with the soil that is already prepared for the season to provide all needed nutrients. It is very important in not to let the soil go dry and that it remains moist and temp does not get to cold or hot to ensure soil web life stays active. There is no issue with root rot for the system I use there is plenty of air trapped in water in the porous silica rock holes not to mention roots in cloth pots get plenty of air cause of the cloth allowing breathing. In addition the entire bottom of the cloth pot becomes a wicking agent that allows water to be drawn up from the reservoir into the pots keeping the soil moist at all times.

Another benefit is the reservoir allows more time to indulge in other activities for the mundane watering is practically eliminated expect for filling reservoir and the best part since it is passive not active meaning no pump running on power to fail. So watering happens as long as there is water in reservoir.

It's scientifically proven that hand watering slowly WITH LOVE increases yield 20%

Green Santa - that pink frost is amazing! Everything looks delicious

I had to post large pictures of that pink Space Chemo:








Cheers,

[GreenSanta]

Thanks I wish I had a pheno with pink resin!! The LEDs are making her look pink, I have grown many plants with pink hair, chemo tends to do that. but no pink resin yet!! thanks anyway!!

 

[Mohican]

I took microscopic shots of some buds and was amazed at the colors in the trichs:





I have an LED shot that many people thought was the bud color - it is still one of my all time favorite shots:



What does the Space Chemo smell like? My Ace of Spades smells just like old fashioned shoe polish in the can.


Here she is aged in the jar since August:




Cheers,
Mo

 

[Shwagbag]

Whoa! Some purps all up in the trichs yo!

 

[Steelheader3430]

man I dont know how much you pay for smart pots but with 1 yard you can probably only make 1 7gallons container right? + the time of making it! hyroot at a good link in the past for cheap smart bag but right now without searching I found some on amazon for 8$ per bag .. I would never go through the trouble of making them unless I could really save big!!

I think I could get about 2 20 gallon pots out of a yard. It measures the length but a bolt of fabric is usually between 45 and 60 inches wide. I'll look up the info you guys have posted. Thanks for looking out gang! I wiped out my computer and started over so I lost alot of links that I had saved on things like this. But at least I don't need to do everything on my phone.

If your looking hang somewhere while vacationing in upper NW of good ole USofAfghanny umm America, your welcome to take load off your feet a load of my titanium nail but you need to drop your own load along the way before stopping by, number 1 only when visting! LMAO!

It's all good seriously I am about to taste and see what I have in these clones I flowered that are a cross G13 andAK47. Not sure what the name of it is but it smells fine piney like it has some forest floor a earthy pine. By the leaves it appears Indica yet it seems to grows tall lankly and needed more Nitrogen then what my Blue Cheese required. Anywise it is like welcoming a new born to the family having a new strain in the medicine chest.

Anywise I am hoping to have you taste something you normally wouldn't be around hopefully, this strain thing to me is akin to beer brewing among friends sharing there batches with each other. I am sure whatever you have on hand will blow away anything I could bring to the table so my bet when you come visit is the change up!

But YO MO that shit here looks yummy, I'd be grateful of anything but those crystals and light lavender color to those buds, nice very sweet very sweet.

Here is a pic of G13/AK47, these are 2 clones 1 foot tall in 1 gal cloth, decided to flower them out after sexing them to get a pre taste of what the next grown out clones might taste like. Good news here is each one a clone from its own mother.

OP posted this...can anybody elaborate on benefits?! I've been told enzymes are best for soil not foliars. Any links? Thanks dirt boys.

• -Coconut - scraping coconut paste from a young coconut. Enzymes, auxins, elements, etc. 1 coconut can do 20 plants. 1 oz coconut water to 15 oz water foliar spray clones. Benefits are too numerous to list.

Thanks RedCarpetMatches for da rep, can't wait to see how they do after a full cycle. Say their mama's are heavy eaters and they keep me busy with their soil I should transplant them to 2g for both mommies are 42 inch babes that are dying to bust. However due to space constraints I am forced to keep them low profile for now. So the current 1g due the job in that function but I do have to feed the soil. One benefit I get discarded lower leafs and some thinning in mid section great for ROLS.

But damm Gingerlinoleummisfit nice spin on my name... LMAO... didn't see that coming...

Sounds like your only problem you'll have is the hangover tomorrow. Ha, have a Cadillac or Ultimate on me.

I like top shelf Tequila One and one-half oz (Patron Silver) with 1 oz Grand Mariner Orange Liquor 1/4 oz FRESH SQUEEZED
lime juice.

Anywise that is what I am pouring myself right now as I attend to my babies...

not scrapings but young coconut water is full of enzymes and minerals. Just like seed sprout teas. Its an alternative to seed sprout teas. Enzymes break down old dead roots, promotes new and old root growth. Provides carbs / sugars for plants.

It's been over a week since my garden saw some young coconut water. Guess I should hit up the Asian market in the am.

Say these are more 4 gals that I put into ROLS some 5 weeks ago and of which I encountered my N deficiency issue that I was able to correct.
Soon I will start again with compost teas and hoping to try out a banana one for a nice P boost for flowering which will begin in about 3 to 4 weeks.
They are mainlined trained, just need to super crop taller branches till they all about on same plane.


On Rebound from N deficiency

I got some "premium felt" from the fabric store to try my hand at sewing bags. After handling it for a bit I can tell it won't hold up. The stuff used in store bought brands is something different. I've looked but can't find the proprietors fabric. I could get 4 15 gallon bags out of 2 yards but I'll just buy em. At $7.99 a yard it would have been nice. Oh well it gives me more time to clean the garage.
