There is seemingly limited research available on this topic at this time. Preliminary research and anecdotal experience show that inoculated biochar can be a positive, even in container grown plants. Maybe I'll have to do a more rigorous grow journal at some point with controls for the benefit...

I'd be really interested in using the stems/fiber and roots as a medium for mushroom bags that could then be placed inside the grow space to produce CO2. Then when the mushrooms are harvested and the material used up could be further broken down by placing into a compost bin.

The char is made from pine I believe. However, the biochar was inoculated in a compost tea, which from all that I have read and understood, is a mitigating factor for biochar's ability to raise the pH. It would also seem like 'charging' - or to say, inoculating - biochar is best practice for...

I'm curious to know why you believe that to be for the better?

What is the precaution in the case of alkaline water? What are 'vegan' fertilizers? Lol.

Oh, well I mean, that is pretty much what I am doing here :wink::leaf:

[09/19] - 8 days after almost all germinated seeds have sprouted from soil (5 of 6) and they are pretty vigorous. Yesterday I took my AACT and diluted to 1:2 with water, added 1mL of BioBizz - BioHeaven and 1/3 tsp of Stump Tea -veg boost + more Stump Tea mycorrhizae blend and drenched all 6...

So I have started preparations to mix together my soil and amendments this weekend. I wanted to draw attention to a particular substance that has been talked about in the ROLS thread, Biochar. To just give a recap of what I am mixing together. I got slightly smaller 2gal. (roughly 8L) smart...

Yeah, I use disconnect.me or Ecosia to search. One doesn't store your searches and the other plants trees through their ad space every time you make a search (https://disconnect.me) (https://www.ecosia.org).

Go LOS? What is that?

Hey PSUAGRO, could you perhaps leave a more constructive feedback? Like, okay if you don't agree that that is an accurate way to test soil pH, great. But why not suggest a better solution instead of leaving it at that? Thanks. ;)

In speaking with Robin privately, he hypothesized that it could be a fluctuation in humidity. This week there were a few days of really dry weather, hot and dry (40-50% RH). I had a lot of fluctuations yesterday as I had set my exhaust to come on intermittently. The humidity would climb then...

But what would you recommend being the best method to test the soil?

What would be the best way to go about that with a soil medium? I just have the little pH test kit with the vial and drops. Soak the pots then collect some runoff and test that? I've tested my water source, which is municipal water that I filter twice, once through a ceramic and clay filter then...

[Update] - To consider marking day one on the 10th (of Sept.) when 2 seedlings sprouted from the soil and 3 more popped up on the 11th (lets just say the 11th, last Sunday), growth rate seems to be doing great. I can't really be the judge on that, being that this is my first grow... Just to...

Nice! Been following this thread for some time and had ordered several of these lights and finally getting set up now. Really beautiful plants NapalmD!

Update [09/11]: Opened the tent this evening and the two paler/yellowed seedlings have filled in with a healthy shade of green. Finally placed last germinated seed in soil and watered, the others I have yet to water again as the soil is still damp about an inch in. The ones with previously...

As of today, 5 of the germinated seedlings sprouted from the soil. The latest one to sprout also is demonstrating paler, yellowed cotyledons. However, the others look just fine. I did realize that two of the feminized seeds I germinated were slightly smaller and much paler in comparison to the...
