Thanks man! Yeah they bounced back very well!Yeah, that was a nice recovery lol! I was going to say that you might have too much sodium from the kelp(previous pic), but they look just fine now!!!

Did I see that you are making your own bokashi and expanding EM1? I messed up and didn't dry my homemade 'kashi and it went bad on me, so I bought a couple of bags for now. If you have a worm bin, they love it too. I had a population explosion when I gave them some 'kashi. Alan Adkisson(grokashi) has his recipe online and he don't keep it a secret, but some of the inputs are expensive like the Super Cera powder and Youngevity. Funny story, I started using Youngevity and kombucha for myself and I can tell a difference. I think that Kombucha is very similar to EM1 type of ferments. I'm glad to see that you are doing well!Thanks man! Yeah they bounced back very well!
I get it now. duh. i think i was thrown of because i couldn't imagine yogurt containers could support the weight of the soil like that.Yes I was spraying just once and a while
The wick has tons of holes it's a bin nested in another the 4 containers at corners are just to support the other bin and keep the wick off the floor of the rez a bit sorry for the confusion I fill the rez from the gap between the two bins. Are you guys saying I should drill bigger holes in my wick ? I think the soil was to moist even at the top it was some what moist without cover crop also should point out plant was quite small when I planted it into the bin about 3 sets of leaves
yep! expanding EM and making bokashi! After watchign a few simple things on it, it seems really silly not to be doing that if you are going to be using them. I also had been making my own kombucha but have slowed down on that sadly... I still love the stuff and buy a lot of GT's but need to bet back to making my own. I also drink Kefir as well as a ..."glug" every morning consisting of coconut oil olive oil turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and honey. great for so many things (-:Did I see that you are making your own bokashi and expanding EM1?

I kept trying to figure out why Alan Adkisson was using organic beet juice in his Grokashi, then listened to the podcast "Shaping Fire w/Alan Adkisson" and he said that beets live in the rhizosphere of streptomyces bacteria, so that is how he incorporates it in his grokashi. I had to read this little article to understand it better. https://gardenerspath.com/how-to/organic/streptomyces-lydicus-use/yep! expanding EM and making bokashi!

Interesting... I put beets juice in my smoothies but never thought to add it to that. I will have to check that out!

its like a hempy bed!Someone here wrote about a SIP with perlite and I took the idea for my seedlings.

grows some algae on the perlite but I guess something could be done about thatits like a hempy bed!
i didn't know for sure but it grew balls lol. all these were started at the same timeJust curious how can you tell it's a male ? I've never grown with the SIP method and looking into to trying it looks handy if you have to leave for a week or two with not having to worry to much.
That's nice for cloning too I fill a nursery tray with perlite and use those square pots filled with coco and a dome. Set it and forget it.Someone here wrote about a SIP with perlite and I took the idea for my seedlings.
