That blurple light is the one thats tuneable. Does sun rise/set, cloudy day, full sun. And custom setting. I can only dim with the Veros. Both are set to sync on their timers. I need to add another vent or two. So they can both get fresh air.

The compost mix you buy online is already composted isn't it you just have to cut it 1/3 peat or coco 1/3 perlite ? How big is the tumbler @Nugachino probably knows about this a bit better than me but if you don't have a certain volume around half a cubic metre I think it won't go thermophilic which is the part in the process where the compost heats right up killing weed seeds.

I have every kind of bug in my compost man knats and all. They are not an issue until they get in large numbers.i also have heaps of seeds germinate just pull them out. And yeah unless you have a massive pile and the right ratio of nitrogen and carbon it won't heat up. That's no biggie just let the bacteria and critters break it down

i m thinking it might be better off getting rid of id say the mites are large in numbers im thinking of startin over tbh im thinking of just doing subs recipe im sure those to web sites will sell all i need i might just get a thing or two here and there untill i have every thing needed for a 180 liter batch tbh it would last awile if u cut the bottem third of a pot on a side note my pg seedling seemed 2 be growing out of the bottem of its little seedling pot it was more or less just a tape root but still i transplanted that so ye i dont really have away of getting rid of it tho other than chucking it in the grass bin maybe i should email the people i got it off and ask em idk fuck it im prob
Y just going 2 wait till after the coco grow tho
