Seeds, Soil and 16 Square Feet

I love wandering in here for some bud porn :D

I have to admit, I was drawn in by the great pics and hadnt dug in. I went back and read it over and I dig it. I am also in a tent (5x5 w/600W) and a small tent for seedlings and veg and do it only for myself so I can relate. I can only flower 4-6 plants at a time and have been thinking about building a nice soil for some time now.

I need to stop thinking and start doing. I struggle with how to keep it stealthy and how to store it. I know I could use kiddie pool to mix and trash bins to store it but at this point I will look like a bit of a window licker if I am seen walking in with a kiddie pool at the end of January, lol.

I have a few questions though. Where do you keep your worm bin? I imagine a healthy stink coming from it, is that true? Also, providing it is outside, is the organic matter not an attractant for mice, rats etc?

Next is the water you use. Is it straight tap water? RO? Tap water that you bubble etc? I have only used tap water and this past run, I have just been letting it sit for about 24 hours before using it. Im not sure I notice a difference over just using it straight out of the tap.

Yeah, I second Siskiyou on the tarp. One person with a good back can do a lot with a tarp.

Giant storage Rubbermaids make for good soil containers, the green and tan are great. Not stackable, but they hold a good amount of soil.

That sounds like an interesting set up. Do you have a photo?

Thats a hell of a beaver you got there! Nice and thick for 59 days.

The Black Triangles look great too. I love the big fat leaves on #1. I would guess she is going to be your "knock em out" hashplant leaner and #2 is going to be the OG leaner.

Glad you like my beaver. She smells delicious, too. Sticky and thick, she is.

I think you are absolutely correct about the Black Triangles. BT1 was so pretty from the beginning that she was an early favorite, but BT2 looks better every day, and has a slight lead on flowering based on appearances. Note those branches.

Hey Siskiyou,

Amazing Marco shots, absolutely beautiful work!

Everything looks really nice, I will be looking forward to see how those BT progress very interested in those ladies. In love with those monster fan leaves they have.

Like Bmac said that is a hell of a beaver you got there, def a dream come true. That is one hefty girl you got there talk about a great looking yielder with a very respectable flowering time. How does she smell?

Great works as always!
