Thanks, re: the gnats, I have been using BT, but it's not doing the trick, hence the desire to resort to spinosad.

I started just adding crumbled dunk to the bin, then same with BT granules. No visible effect Latest tactic just a few days ago, soaked a handful of granules and lightly drenched the bin with the water.

Thanks Rrog, A little confused about #1 vermicompost in your list there. That's what is in the bin already isn't it? I forgot that I was considering ladies in red, and I'll add neem and crab shell to the shopping list.

Just finished a grow and have 30 gallons or so of used soil. I would like to re-amend/re-use this as base soil. I have already re-amended an earlier batch as full strength supersoil, and it is well "cooked", but this batch I'd like to just bring it back to a general base soil level of nutrients...

Regarding ***-"cides" in worm bins, I have a serious gnat problem in my bin. I have treated with judicious amounts of BT, but didn't do much at all. So have added a light spray of spinosad and heavier amount of BT. Still a lot of gnats, but seems a bit reduced population. Trying to take it slow...

Week 6 1/2 now, not quite filling out like they should by now, I think from the cool and wet. Temps in the 40s last night. Hope they don't freeze anytime soon!

Hope everyone in the flood zone is doing OK!

Getting drowned here. Sheesh!

My own worm bin is doing pretty darn well these days though not the production of some posting to this thread. At least there is a self sustaining population now and they are behaving like the bin is home. This is after complete failure with the first two bins, and a seriously died off majority...

Nice work, So is there some kind of bottom divider in each tray?

Flippant :bigjoint:

Po boy, How do you "flip" the sun?

You can amend whatever base you want to make a super charged, supersoil kind of product. As far as I know, subcool is hip on roots as base, at least that's what I went with first time based on reading this forum. It is kind of expensive though. I opted for cheaper EKO brand mixing one part...

Pistils, yes, the beginning of flowering.

Might just be their time anyway, but I did my flower initiator project and have been shining far red at plant's bedtime. A few pistils popped out today. I like to think my little DIY project is giving them the kick they need The light: The girls:

Just at bedtime, Supposed to stimulate pr resting state fooling the plant into "thinking" it has a couple extra dark hours. Hmm, just re-read, and I need to up the time... 5min before sunset to 5 min after total darkness, so should be around 40min on at bedtime.

I figured this would be a great first DIY LED project, very simple, and it went together very easily. These girls are outdoors on a porch, and haven't started flowering yet. This makes me a little uneasy. The first frosts will start any time in Sept, and I want these to finish before they...

Based on principle I want to trust people. Based on experience, I know when I lend someone anything, there's a good chance I won't ever see it again.

Just gluttonous girls eh? (she is one of three). I hate to transplant again at this point, but seems a good solution to give them some more supersoil to gorge upon

This pic doesn't quite show the extent of the fade starting on this plant. The yellowing goes significantly higher up the plant than it looks, but this should give an idea of what is starting. Seems too early. These are only about 2 1/2 weeks into flower. They did have pretty extended veg...
