Hello again Dons. I have a few questions. First off I am using a blend of Happy Frog, Ocean Forest and Light Warrior and liking the results. I started with Scientific Soils and ran into a ton of problems so i shit canned that and start with the Happy Frog blend. I'd like to start making my own soil starting in a few months, but live in a apartment. Space is limited and cooking out side isn't feasible. Is it possible to blend the soil in a tote and let it cook indoors? If so what temperature should i keep the tote at as well as the room i keep it in. Again really enjoying your thread and all the knowledge your passing along. Thanks

Is there any other way than totes??? Lol really though totes are the way to go and i would keep temps above 10°C.

Above 10ºC. No shit i thought it would have to be a lot warmer then that. I was figuring in the 70-80ºF range. That's going to be much easier then I thought. Thanks DonPetro. As it gets closer to cooking time I'm sure I will have more questions. :D

That is an absolute minimum as microbial activity slows down and many microbes will become dormant beyond that. 70-80 is fine if you can tolerate it. There is no magic number here really.

I'd say 90% of defeat is done by the biggest enemy, ourselves..

More good news..

If you use "Strong Box" style of totes ($6 to $19 here) you can stack them ceiling high, no problem.. well 2 or 3 is no problem, they a bit heavy when moist, lol..you can even put them on a piece of 2 x 4 piece of plywood with 4 "missing" shopping cart wheels as castors, no mine are NOT stolen lol they were a gift. Then you can scooter one or two totes around like nothing.

With strong boxes you can't even bend the lids when they're off the totes.. very worth it. I got a tote I can stand on. But don't test this in stores, lmao, i don't want you falling into a flimsy one

Yea he's pretty cool. I'll have to send him a link once those BFs are established so he can check out the progress. Maybe you could do a dedicated Black Forrest thread in the seed and strain review section.

How long does rice last?

Rice, it be a fungal food, right.

I forgot to add rice this time, but this is also RECYCLED, mon, so last time I DID add rice, ye get me?

I was thinking of sprinkling some on top while I wait for up-pot days vs mixing it in.. excessive over-tilling not my thing

Wow. Am I f*cked up. I thought the middle of the day was the middle of the night and now it feels like Christmas morning and its middle of the night. I'm eating cereal after my morning bowl of gravy (exception) and i see its 2:30 am.. Interesting… I guess, good morning everybody, lol

One with my ladies,

The organic section and seed and strain reviews are pretty much the only two spots I post in.

Nice to see the Dons over there. :bigjoint:
