Just topped two plants at about the 7th node and leaves growing in 7s-9s. These previously had a rough patch when i was away and they dried out and had some dried out roots and leaves. I trimmed the dried out growth at that time and they bounced back really nicely. Looking robust now. Anyway...

Well, my worm disaster saga turns into a meager worm survival saga. Went though the bin contents once again and found 4-5 more alive. put them all in way less of the contents and going to monitor if they are staying happy. If the survivors actually start reproducing, I may even have the...

I took a handful of the stuff, soaked it in distilled h20 for about 1/2 hr and ph is looking like 7.5, a little high, but too high for survival? Just smells like compost, not worm death. I talked with Doug at NW redworms, he said they just liquify and disappear when they die.

Further examination of my dead worms bin, I went though it inch by inch and found two fiesty healthy lively ones together in one place. Otherwise I don't even see carcasses. No signs of any escaping. No idea what happened here. The compost is composting, smells like good compost, no foul odor...

Was away for a week, they perished.

I am looking for recommendations for specific fan models for this purpose. The details -for air change only, not cooling. There will be a separate fan for the light. -I only have 59 cu ft volume, so 20cfm actual flow will change the air every three minutes. -There will be pressure drop...

It is quite moist in there. I'll do some more digging under the snow and tear up a bunch more paper.

Pic of the business. This was first thing this morning, a few seemingly trying to escape. Things are a bit mixed up in there now from me looking around in the stuff to see where they are and what they are doing. I did find some today in and about some moldy food so I think they are starting to...

OK, added a bunch of warmed up soil, we'll see how it goes.

Yes I can get soil from outside. Will do.

I don't have any composted material around here, just potting soil, forest soil out side under the snow, sawdust, and cooking supersoil. Is there something you suggest I can buy locally?

I started a bin with red wigglers about a week ago and not sure if it is going well or not. Followed general instructions for paper and cardboard bedding and dumped in a bunch of recommended food scraps. Worms have moved to a couple other locations in the bin, but I don't see them in the food...

:dunce: So I mixed up some supersoil and started it cooking... indoors... in our house. The only space that we keep heated during winter. A day or two after setting it under the staircase, a little um, organic odor started happening around the stairs. Couple more days, really noticeable, has...

Thanks, great info! I'll be splitting almost 7 feet of vertical space into a mom/clone/early veg level and the other the mature plant, flowering space. Just trying to come up with the right split. At this point, partly from feedback elsewhere on the forum, I am thinking probably 2 1/2 ft and 4...

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.

OK, so back to the vertical space question. One level for moms/clones/early veg and the other for flowering mature plants in scrog or mainlined. How would you divide the space? Have about 83" (just under 7 ft) useable vertical height to split.

Fair enough, but perhaps someone has already done so and can comment? Just want to maximize what I can from the get go! in terms of "growing style", I am starting from seed, will see which are hardiest, clone transplant to 1 gal- 3gal -then into supersoil method in 7 gal fabric pots and...

Thanks BB18. Excellent safety concern for water/electrical concerns growing over/under. I don't have anywhere for an extra tent, so I'll have to come up with a design that takes that into account. I think it would be very straightforward to build the second level with a waterproof tub type...

Thanks, so what would you anticipate comparative yield to be? i.e., expect more yield from 2 x 16 heads or 3 x 8 heads? Certainly more heads in 2 x 16, (32 vs 24) but does that also mean more poundage from a single grow?

mainline sq ft estimation? I am going to have 28" x 42" or 8 sq ft. on the horizontal. How many mainlined plants would fill that space for a single grow? And would you go with 400 or 600w for that sq ft? Thanks
