I'm not entirely sure what my final flowering pot size is going to be. I'm using one feminized seed and have three other bag seeds germinating right now. It all boils down to how many females I get from the random seeds.

I have some FFOF on hand that im going to be using for the red solo cup phase and prolly the up pot to 1gal. That's several weeks of letting the soil cook. Once it's time to transplant to the 5gal ima be using the soil mix.

Hey I just checked on my soil and noticed a fuzzy white stuff across the surface. Is this normal or is this gunna be an issue for me?

Another question. Does the size of my pots matter when using a "water-only" method? I'm reading that people recommend using 10gal+ pots. I'm using bagseed, so I plan on starting with like 4 seeds in red solo cups, moving up to 1gal. Then hopefully I can tell the sex by this point because...

Hey Loco appreciate all the encouragement and advise! I was reading that your compost will begin to generate its own heat as the microbial processes take place... how noticeable is this heat? Once it begins is it apparent that the magic is happening? I don't want to let the soil sit for two...

Hey yall back again :) So I got my soil mixed up and added about 5gal of RO water and stirred it up nicely. The soil is pretty moist but not overly wet. My concern though is because I'm keeping my tote indoors, and my place constantly has the AC on at about 72 degrees that it won't be warm...

Yeah once I mixed in the perlite and it was no longer a massive mound it blended in nicely haha. As far as what quantity of amendments I need to mix in... the recipe calls for a 1/2 cup per cubic foot... Given that I'm using 21gal that's ~2.8 cubic feet correct? so I'd need around 1.5 cups of...

Okay sweet! I filled the 7gal with perlite and i was thinking to myself "This looks like wayyy too much perlite" lol.

Hey I'm getting ready to mix my soil.... Forgive me if this is a silly question. If I wanted 21gal of soil, I would mix 7gal of each: Peat Moss / EWC / Perlite? What I plan on doing is just using an empty 7gal pot and fill it with each of the above ingredients, am I approaching this wrong?

@loco41 Yeah I tried my best to source quality stuff -- I wanted to purchase what I could locally but some items I had to buy what I could. I ended up getting this EWC from my local hydrostore.

Appreciate all the information and feedback everyone!! I'm just waiting on some of my final ingredients to arrive then gunna start mixing it up which means I'll probably be back with more questions =D Not including the base soil ingredients... here is the list of stuff I bought. Fish Meal...

Do you use the lid to the tote? or just leave the soil exposed to the open air? First time with all this stuff =D

@Richard Drysift What type of fertilizer input do you mean? A nitrogen rich fertilizer? I have a 9-6-0 or a 6-1-2..... I also plan on using white clover as a ground cover / Nitrogen fixator.

Could someone answer a couple questions about composting my soil? I plan to use a 22gal storage tote as composting bin. My question is given that where I live is currently 100+ degrees every day, Should I be sealing the lid to the tote to lock in the moisture? Or should I leave the lid off...

Richard, that was exactly the information I needed!! I was starting to get a grasp on each individual piece but was still unsure how to put them all together. Thank you, for going into detail about how to mix the soil and build the pots, saving left over for top dressing/up-potting, getting your...

Ugh the more and more I read about the subject the less sure I want to do lol. New Recipe: Base Soil: Peat Moss (33%) Worm Castings (33%) Rice Hulls (33%) Soil Ammendments: Fish Meal (9-4-0) 1/2 cup per cubic foot Crab Shell Meal (4-3-0) 1/2 cup per cubic foot Kelp Meal (0-0-1 or 1-0-2) 1/2...

So I looked into the various Promix soils and they seem great but I want to avoid perlite as it breaks down with use. I want the ability to reuse my soil over and over. I think what I'm going to do is this. Base Soil: Peat Moss (33%) Peat Moss Worm Castings (33%) <--- Compost Rice Hulls/Lava...

Hi all, I'm looking to start another run and want to switch things up this time around! I'm trying to get away from using bottle nutrients and want my soil to do all the work. I just need a little help getting there :) First off, I do not want to experiment with trying to create my own soil...

Ressurecting an old thread... but I was curious about the strips? I have some 288.2's but like the coverage of the strips!!

Yeah I understand each site gets a waterfall but the 27gal tote is really wide so I'm wondering if I'm better off making a split and having two waterfalls, one on each side of the tote as opposed to a single waterfall. What tubing is best from the water pump --> manifold? Soft vinyl as well?
