so i bought a soil tester and it showed no nutrients available. i added a teaspoon of happy frog jumpstart 3-4-3.pretty sure that was the problem.

Right, i know that this is measuring the available nutrients and not stuff that hasnt been broken down by microbes yet.like the soybean meal that will break down and release nitrogen slowly. At first i was worried about there being too much nitrogen to begin with, but i realize that the nitrogen...

bought this awesome little gadget today, monitors ph, moisture, fertility, and its got a cool little sunlight meter measures in footcandles. I used it today, and confirmed all my suspicions about my soil conditions. My small cups i watered today ; it said too wet, my clones in 1 gal were just a...

Day 17 after transplant and the girls are getting bushy.ill be topping them soon then transplanting into the fabric pots.

I have no clue why it looks like this, never had a plant do this.

cool bro, i like the screens under the pots.im going to look for some like that for my trays.

day after the transplant and all seems well. theyre perked up and praying.

maybe, i dont usually use clear cups. I use red solo cups but in the future ill probably buy some small pots to root in.

so i pulled the cups out and that "mold" was all inside the soil too, took your advice and just used it like that. used some great white around the rootballs and sprinkled it in the holes.watered with the compost tea i made last night.

Day 14 after transplant and the girls are looking beautiful.Growing like crazy! i put on a bucket of compost tea to brew tonight and im planning on transplanting these beauties into bigger pots. so i had soil mixed up and put into the pots for transplant. I used emerald mountain soil...

so i trimmed off the yellow leaves and its growing steadily. I changed the light cycle to 12-12 and the side branches are stretching.im not concerned with a harvest on this one, im just using it for sexing and cloning. i will still flower it out completley to make sure genetics are strong (if...

welcome to RIU, what you got growing?

so i dont know if youve seen this guy jon kohler, growing your greens.com, hes kind of a wierd dude but he knows a lot about organic growing.he did a review on some composts and soils. He showed this compost called eco-scraps.he recommended that over the others in the bunch. Have you guys heard...

Yeah, the ingredients are not all mushrooms, its probably mostly forest material which is already in my soil in a good amount. So yea ill just use it for tea, figured it was worth 4 bucks. The perlite should be enough for this batch of plants though but when i go to get more ill probably go to...

thanks man ;) its a learning process, but im getting my method down so i can pull off a good harvest this time.

Day 21 and the soil has FINALLY dried to the point where i can water it. 7 days after transplant! sheesh .ok lesson learned. MORE PERLITE! ;) sprayed a light watering of diamond black and seaplex. they perked up ready to stretch toward the light.

finding out fast that this soil holds a crap ton of water for an amazingly long time in my setup. So i picked up some perlite and ill be using a bunch of it in my mix when i transplant. Also got some mushroom compost to use mainly for compost tea.

sweet vortex man!

Day 20 despite the wet soil the clones are looking great.

So i was looking for a thread on compost tea brewers and i didnt see one so i decided to start one. ;) This is my diy vortex/air lift style tea brewer i made it from plastic tubs and tubes and a sink drain.the air pump isnt powerful enough to make an actual vortex but it does put a stream of...
