that nug looks sexy. I used to have a couple drying boxes too. At the old place. But I used clothing boxes from uhaul. Ran 2 levels of string 3 across. Kept the box closed. Small buds would be dry in 3-4 days. Big buds 5-6 days. The cardboard absorbs moisture.Some plants I nearly killed off w unwashed coco and some clones that were soaked in aerated bio-root water. Using rockwool because I was out of rapid rooters .

I made a drying rack out of a hood box and then a carmelo just after trim.
sst - seed sprout teaHell yeah man, that sounds great, what is a sst by the way?
Feel like I'm watching a cooking show. How do you even measure and mix all that. You must have a strong back and gluteus maximusses. I just cut half my ingredients down thanks to clist. Want to go half on a 90 cu ft bale of rice hulls LMAO?! Finally found a somewhat local source 45 min away. I wonder how long that greensand takes to break down. Hear its around 1-2 years with microbes. Good mix.Red, I have one cooking but its not ready for another 2 weeks.
2 bales sphagnum peat moss, 6cf
2.5 bags bags of black gold ewc, 50 lbs
1 cf of perlite, will switch to lava rock next.
2 cf of vermiculite
2.5lbs of fishbone meal
2.5lbs of feathermeal
6 cups dolomite lime
6 cups Oyster shell rmeal
6 cups greensand
1 cup seabird quano
1 cup kelp meal
1 cup alfalfa meal
1 cup roots Oregonism xl
.25 cup of azomite
1/8th cup humic acid
I plan to run this as normal, no mixing in with a base soil or whatever, its not as hot as supersoil but is still on the warm side but plants will be getting this when they are around 1 foot tall in veg, they will be in a peatbased mixed w dolomite and oystershell and feather meal and greensand and a smidge of seabird quano, very mild yet full of nutes. Should be enough food to not feed till transplant. I plan to start out in 1 qrts for clones then when roots are big enough move to 3 and then end up in 7 gal. I will use mainly grow bags and I will have a base simular to to the hot mix I have listed but split with 40% coco . I dont know if this mix will be great but I plan to fool around more. I was at ph of 4.0 when I first made the mix, added more oystershell and dolomite lime and now its 6.3-7, I can handle that. I hope to have a good cheap soil for everyone to run soon, I wish when I first started out I could of had a good soil to just add water and have big buds, I like supersoil but why should I have to buy expensive bags to use as a base. Id rather save money where I can.
No better exercise than mixing 5 totes of soil. I doggy paddle that shit...no shovels. Sweat is my secret ingredient lol. Rice hulls are great for aeration, cheap, and eventually breaks down...which just becomes more good compost. Doesn't float like perlite. Too cold to be outside smashing lava rock lol.Haha, well im sure ahe take interest in it when you see some crazy organic stuff happening lol.
Red, its not really that bad, it takes awhile but I usually smoke and work and just lose track of time,then I procrastinate on here lol but its a damn good way to, you learn and blow off steam.ps what would rice hulls be good for, any nutritional value?
Thanks guys.
