NYC, if you get more of a base soil with less bark your girls won't burn as easy and they will be much happier. I can't quite grow as fast as hydro but I can get close. Perfect environment and co2 and I'll show you what's up in soil 
Just give me a lil time to dial this new room in. I' grew up playing in the dirt and I guess I never left. I love to play with soil. My new project now is creating ROLS, recycled organic living soil. No throwing out, only getting better with time...

Just got home from driving around, running errands. 221 miles worth of running around and I had my kids with me, lol. They were really good though and didn't really cause any problems. First we went to the high desert and picked up a couple of parts for the off road car. Then we went and saw SomeGuy so I could pick up a light, dropped the parts off to my brother and came home.
Now I need to wire up the socket so I can test out the 600

For all of you soil guys, check it out
Will be looking into this in the very near future

Me & whodat were discussing this last year but never got around to running tests.
Would think it would be a bonus, especially after the soil has been compacted over time.
*edit:
He has definitely thought it through and worked it out.
The way I had envisioned it would have been just applying air injection on a set schedule each day (every other 30 minutes or every few hours), just as a way to get fresh air to the roots as the soil dried between waterings/feedings.
But his is a cool way, and will be looking into it to see more detailed info.
Looks pretty cool.

Hey doobs, I'm not too sure, but I think if mixed with a good amount of hydroton at the bottom, maybe a 1" layer of hydroton, and also the soil mixed with hydroton as well, it would be awesome!! I'm going to try it soon, well maybe in the next couple months because I'm broke at the moment, but will definitely try! I have a few spare ait spiders for my hydro, if they are the same I can use those for my next re pot. It seems like it would work great for sure, I think the key is the bottom layer of hydroton and a nice loose mix of soil so it won't clog up

And having the air pump running 24/7 would mean being able to keep a perpetual tea bubbling in the soil throughout the grow, no?

This technique is a soil-based hempy bucket with air bubbles added, so it should work pretty good.

I do believe it would be a constant tea of microbial life and organic deliciousness
I was going to do dwc organics, but after I found this, why not keep the organics in the soil and have a natural buffer and still have fun with a little hydro technology 
It might be the best thing since sliced bread

If you've switched to a low-nitrogen flowering nute, the plant will yellow, from bottom up, slowly through flowering.
And if you're growing in a soil mix and have not done any supplemental feedings during veg, then your soil could be a little nitrogen depleted from normal age.

Ok so this is normal then nothing to worry about

Also keep in mind that the plant is only getting 12 hours of light now, and isn't able to photosynthesize as much light as before, so it is using some of it's reserves to compensate for it.

If it starts going sickly yellow real fast, then you might have a small issue to deal with (soil ph could be off a little, or depleted, or too cold at night, etc).
But a slow fade to yellow on the lowest pair or two can be expected for some strains, even early in flower.

I'm wondering.if I.should change there soil just put them in New pots there the same.size but it will be.new soil what do you think I just don't want to stunt the.growth.this.early.in flowering

I think my genetic saving mission will succeed, all the clones are looking 10x better than when they were on the plant my transplanting went well for the kog, I'm almost positive they've been root bound for weeks. 2 days after transplant they look much better and doubled in size, I'm back on track

It's not a good idea to repot during flowering bman, if you think it's necessary then do it very early on. Yellowing could be from a number of factors, not just low N. Could be something locking out the N like a pH problem or too much of another nute toxicity. If you know it's a n p4oblem add some nitrogen product. If you are unsure just wait a little while and see if there are any other problems.

Oh and if no more yellowing happens, it's fine, the plant looks good otherwise, if the rest of the plant stays green and fades slowly through flower, completely normal and better than the plant being green til harvest.
