We know that and its good to ask questions and even better to debate the answer if its not the "common" answer.... Good job , thats how you get pro...

Yes that is a great way to help keep the top moist. ,ucelium is beautiful!

I actually just water it in. I use it for the purpose of keeping the moisture level the same throughout the pot. It has MANY other uses though. It breaks the soil surface tension when you let your soil dry out too much. It does something to help release locked up food in the soil but i have no...

How much is 5% exactly ? I do let my soil dry to an extent , sometimes more then others. O2 is the most important thing for roots next to water/food/microbes.

That would completely depend on the extint of your "cleaning the soil" .... In healthy conditions , the biology is all working together everyday after trans plant. As time progresses , they form the symbolic relationship needed to do organics. So if everything is fairly healthy in the soil at...

Yukka just happens to be one of my favorite amendments for soil. I love the stuff. Its fairly expensive too if someone like me is trying to be a cheap ass.

I wish i could explain it but i have no clue. I can tell you its all in the terps. Some like their terps clean and hydro. Some like their terps dirty and skunky. I am NOT going to say the lab shows more or less terps then hydro , im just saying it taste way different. My west coast friends...

I disagree to the fullest. With all respect to you. I do not see the "limitations" you speak of ? "Unsuitable" is just plain , the wrong word. generally speaking, hydro grows faster. (in real life its because most "soil" growers are not there yet...) In real life , i know plenty of dirt guys...

I see the color hiding in there! shes a beaut! my dad has a big one outside. not near as big as yours. im just wondering if we could harvest the yukka extract out of it.....

Side note: keep in mind the microbiology is very hardy in there.... even if you were to kill most of it today , it will start to recover by tomorrow. If you treat it right it will be living soil within a week or so. Them microbes dont just die unless something is way off in the pot. They are...

Not really , its all over the pot. Biology is everywhere. It is true that you will get much better consistancy by keeping the whole pot the same moisture. So you are on the right path. I brought home fungas gnats from a houseplant a few months ago , you cannot kill them just by letting the top...

I agree with this and i just dont see "letting them dry out" is going to help them gnats. You would have to dry out the whole pot for long enough to kill them which will also kill the girls.

Do you or can you harvest the yukka out of that thang ? im interested.

@Leeski Just twist a leaf off the plant. let the leaf dry up for a few days. (2 or 3 days is fine) The break will callas over , thats when its ready to lay on top of your mix. Keep your mix moist and just place the lil pup on top. If you want to you can place in a dome just for a few more...

In organics , the idea is to maintain the life of the soil* and IF all the stars are aligned, then each element of food is avilable to the plant when it needs it. Its never that easy but it can be with a lil work. Its fun and cheap too! I also agree that the plant does not care whether its...

Same here...4 people and 3 the dog wont let in :bigjoint:

i love that one! had to have it....and it was cheap as shit... Can you just pluck a leaf and plant it like most succs ?

Oh an one of my favorite succs. Lithops

Thanks guys! Dont have a lot of folks to show them off to. I'll update on things as i learn them.
