as someone that knows a bit about rocket science....sometimes this whole organic things is quite a bit more confusing, Ill get it though. im a smart cookie.it's not rocket science. It has been around longer than your bags and bottles...and it works. I keep things very simple and get adequate results.
not you, Hydra...I was commenting on knowing more about living soil concept...

Im confused by alot. Its seems that 3lb might not be organic ENOUGH for an organic purist, am i correct?
no one knows exactly what is going on in the rhizosphere. There are still advancements and discoveries happening as we speak.. So, by all means, rocket science is in many more ways going to be easier understood.Hÿdra;9821569 said:as someone that knows a bit about rocket science....sometimes this whole organic things is quite a bit more confusing, Ill get it though. im a smart cookie.
AN argument for another time and placeno one knows exactly what is going on in the rhizosphere. There are still advancements and discoveries happening as we speak.. So, by all means, rocket science is in many more ways going to be easier understood.
nice man! I've been real interested in aquaponics ever since that guy grew 1 million lbs of food in a 1 acre greenhouse. Let us know how the classes go.Hÿdra;9821653 said:AN argument for another time and place
I am getting a minor in Closed environmental agriculture, so ill learn it all eventually!!! TOured the aquaponics lab last week its badass.
The 3lb advice I take is on brewing and Molasses, I don't bother reusing soil, EVER, BEEN THERE DONE THAT. If you look back 2 or 3 years in my post history you will see beds mulched with straw and clovers also growing in my naturally sourced EWC.
These days my soil and nutrients cost me 320 dollars per run, and I take my soil for outdoor veggie beds for later use. 320 dollars is netting me 8-9 lbs of weed, and I used to pay 320 dollars for an ounce of good stuff in high school I know I could buy nutrients for cheaper but the taste and quality I get out of pure blend pro is pretty damn comparable to my 100 % organic grows, so I stopped splitting hairs.
It's unfair to tell a noobie that rols is gonna be easy, it takes way more knowledge than following simple formulas... The best I ever yielded in my beds was in the 1.5 lb per light range and I'd like to think I have a decent understanding of microbe life and what a plant needs... those numbers just disappoint when compared to any other medium including Fox farm soil w/ added bottled nutrients.
I've got a couple irrometers I keep lying around for a rainy day. Not sure about every closet gardener here though...Keep it irrigated proper 6-10 kPa and you should have success.
1337hacker its cool dude. We have threads all over the net with thousands of positive feedback. Please keep doing what you are doing fine sir.I've got a couple irrometers I keep lying around for a rainy day. Not sure about every closet gardener here though...
This thread started talking about serious weight... Never seen anyone pull 2 + in rols, maybe you can bust that myth with a pic. I learned bogs recipe in less than 1 typed message post and it still sticks with me til this day. I don't get whats not to like about the 3lb, they actually grew quantity and quality, most organic growers discount quantity but the 3lb could do 2-3 a light and didnt bother with that bullshit excusenof compromise. Never seen an rols grower do 2-3 a light but maybe I am wrong and missing something. Best rols I have seen is the rev and I have that book right now... he isnt much more than a closet grower and spending much more effort than I do on his little 600 w grows.
