Interesting, which SIP system do you use? Definitely interested to check it out. Regarding 40% perlite, what differences did you see by running it? (Also, why not try pumice? It breaks down a lot slower (or not at all?), maybe that would help with soil compaction after 1 year. I heard perlite...

Why garbage? I know the old blurple one's probably yes, but are you referring to the newer white ones? People seem to like them a lot

That sounds awesome man, living in Jamaica, looks like a fun time with good people from the photo. I always wondered, what's it like living down there for a white dude? I always wanted to go there and backpack around. Regarding the pots, think the 5 gallon ones would be too big of a pain to...

Btw, you ever have problems with red mites in your castings? I saw some eating away at my seedlings when I experimented sprouting seeds in the worm bin. I ordered from jim's worm farm, later I heard they sometimes come with free red mites :( Also, do you just sprinkle on the crab and kelp meal...

Thanks Kratos - I decided to grow out landraces for the high actually, though weaker, I'm searching for something that's more "friendly", not just a super potent high, if that makes sense. I also heard various accounts, some say they're harder to grow, some easier, I guess I'll find out :)...

Thanks Kratos, great info, learning a lot! What begins to happen with no-till grows once compaction starts happening? Will my plants just grow smaller, or start getting sick or something? Also, I wanted to start running 3 or 5 gallon pots alongside my 30 gallon no-tills, for running regular...

Thanks Crisnpropa - that's awesome, how'd you end up in Jamaica? Sounds like the perfect place to grow. I have three 30-gallon pots, growing with a friend (he supplies the space, I the research and some experience) so thinking what to plant exactly. Maybe 2 autoflowers (2 pots) and 3 AG seeds...

Damn... probably just better to do an autoflower then yea?

Im in southern california: February 1st I get 10.5 hrs of sunlight. May 1st I get 13.5 hrs of sun May 31st I get 14.4 hrs of sunlight. Would that work? Or would I go back into veg before I'm able to finish?

I really want to sprout some landrace Acapulco Gold seeds I have here in southern california. If I transplant them outside in February, will I be able to harvest them around May, or since the days start getting longer, would it get kicked out of flower and start re-vegging? The AG I have is...

Thanks Kratos, great info. Can't wait to take the kelp and crab meal I have on hand and start throwing it into the bins. Do you also feed with Malted Barley Powder? I've seen some people doing that too. Also, I had no idea no-till soil only lasts a year or so... I was under the impression you...

I was recommended this light, The GooingTop QB2000, supposedly almost as good as the Spider Farmer SF-2000, Samsung diodes and Meanwell driver, but with 240W for only $150. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0895ZMNMH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 Sounds like an amazing deal...

Thanks, I'll put more in there. For the thai chi seedlings (the healthier looking ones) think I should transplant them as well? They've been stuck at that stage for about 3 days... I'm not sure if I should let them be, or transplant

I don't have anymore of these seeds, was hoping to try to salvage these. Think it's possible, and if so, any recommendations? In the future I'll definitely be running peat pots.

Regarding ratio, you mean I had too much perlite? Or too little? There might have been some red wigglers in there that were in the worm castings... could they have started munching on the seedling? Those were my only Congo and Thai Chi seeds, from Ace Seeds :(... the Nepal Annapurna ones never...

Thanks - I have the cups sitting on top of a heating pad - do you think that's enough? The room is about 75, more or less. Should I also put a cup over them? I think I'm gonna try to transplant the seedlings... they look like they're going to die b/c of the worm castings. Btw I did mist down...

Just curious, what do better diodes and driver's mean? Does that also just mean more efficient, or something else as well?

So I decided to experiment and try to sprout in a medium rich with my homemade earth worm castings. Bad idea... looks like these seed sprouts got nutrient burned bad. They popped after 18h water soak and I planted them directly into my medium (peat/pumice/compost/worm castings). Planted 5 days...

Thanks Hydro - how does each light affect the effect of each smoke you'd say? Would the effect would be much better with the Spider Farmer? (I'm trying to grow for pure effect, I don't mind small yields). Not sure how the diodes and drivers influence the grow, still a noob in that regard

I'm looking to add about 200W-300W to my grow, the Mars Hydro TSW 2000W (300W) at $269 seems like a good bet... the Spider Farmer SF-2000 (200W) is 100W less and $300. Are the Spider Farmer lights are much better over Mars, and if so, in what way?
