Thats cool man! Im interested in how long it takes for those to create a good enough shade for the soil. Keep us updated on how good of a mulch it is

that's the idea. we will be finding out together.

Is microclover just white clover? Or is it a specific "microclover"? I did a search, and i could only find it included in grass seed mixes.

 

[mad librettist]

it's micro clover. lots of vendors out there. try outside pride

minin-clover. who knew?

 

[mad librettist]

I know cool, eh? They've been breeding white clover smaller and smaller!


I am picturing a nice arthropod population developing. Who's got suggestions for something to sow among the clover? remember it won't be very bright under the scrog.

 

[Microbeman]

micro-cows? mini-moose? pigmy pony by the dental floss bush?

 

[mad librettist]

you betcha!

I'd love a herd of mini-ponies. A nice constant supply of horse meat, and you don't need a lawnmower.

 

[mosstrooper]

Out of interest, is there a good reason to sow micro clover as opposed to say just ordinary white or red (full sized) clover?

Unfortunately, this seed is no longer available as it has been completely sold out. The owners of the seed are requiring it only be sold in mixtures with 90% grass seed so we do not anticipate being able to get any more seed at this time.

Same in UK too, looks like ill have to buy a tenners worth of lawn seed and get my magnifying glass out if i want some.

just my intuition telling me smaller is better.

Those seedlings look cool librettist. How big are those bags? You are using those tubes to provide extra air right? Great job and i'll be reading along.

the tubes are just stems for the scrog net. my design is mad simple. calcined DE takes care of aerating my mix.

the bags are #15 smart pots.

Would bagged compost be ok for mulch? I have a 1/3 of a bale laying around

Hey guys is cocoa shell mulch fine for my guerrilla grow? Got a big bag of that stuff, I know it's best to keep dogs away from it though.

it works good, i used to get the big bags for free. dont worry when it molds when wet.

they'll probably require less nutrients and root space than their full sized version..

 

[mad librettist]

i'm also thinking they will need less light?
