Can’t hurt man give it a go! So far so good on my end. They’re just starting to get their smell. Smells like the advertised strawberries. Now I’m playing the how much am I going to yield game... trying to be patient. Rather get a solid boutique grow then totally worry about yield... but ya know lol.im gonna throw some powder nutes in some used soil and see what i get. im gonna use a couple tbsp per gallon plus lime and myco and cook it for a couple weeks or so. im anxious now

It dont stink at all unless you put thick meat in there. or maybe cheese. those take too long to break down without a smell.....so those two stay out of the bin. onions tend to stink too but that was whole onions...should of cut them up. temps over 50 are fine.... sometimes they can handle lower but a healthy bin will be between 50 and 90 ish...

What powder do you use to ph down as my water is the same range as yours

It’s called TNB down. It claims to be all natural and works great. I know soil is supposed to buffer ph but I think 8.5-9 like mine is way too high to rely on the soil alone.

Started week 6 yesterday. Took the trellis and frame down as the humidity was around 60%. Held any stems up by gardening wire and bamboo stakes into the soil. Smells amazing like strawberries and blueberries.
Lowest leaves getting minimal light dying off which is par for the course. Don’t have any deficiency issues on the healthy leaves that I can see. Just under 4 weeks left if this is a 9 week flowering strain.

Thanks man! Yeah it’s a solid Canadian product from everything I keep hearing, that’s why I went with it. Getting antsy to get it finished, dried and weighed lol. Won’t rush it none the less.

No the first was coco and Gaia Green, but I had no clue what I was doing haha. Second was coco and liquid nutes. A lot better results. I built this soil (with Gaia) from scratch about 45 days before transplanting from the cell pots to 6.3 gal.

Thanks for sharing.
What lava rock do you use? The same kind for hydro thats in ball form or a smaller form?

I use just regular bagged lava rock. Any size/kind will work from what I’ve seen. What I have is roughly 3/8”-3/4” in size. I can’t stand perlite as it floats up and deteriorated over time. To each their own, but with lava rock or pumice you won’t need to replace over time.

The Gaia Green has micro nutrients in it, but I added Gaia Epsom salts in a watering (once in mid veg, once in mid flower Only). That seems to keep the mag/fe from becoming an issue, and as far as cal goes my water has a ton of it in it. Never had an issue yet. Take into account this is Strawberry Cough in soil, another strain might require more.

I use this in my planted aquarium. Thinks its safe to use for weed? I have a bag left over.
