No till 20 gallon
- Thread starter qball520
- Start date
Yes bro I'm down to learn an try anything to get this no till done right!
Late late asshole checking in 
Growing pot, for me, has always been about getting the best product, with the best yield, with the least amount of work and effort and money on my part.
That's what led me to no till. I hate fucking working. I have nice big beds with worms and rollie pollies and centipedes in them. When my plant is ready to be harvested, I chop it down, pull up the root ball, make a slightly larger hole, insert fresh ewc/worms, place new plant in the hole, add some amendments, and backfill. Done and done. Getting a new crop ready literally takes 1/6 the time it used to in the past.
No mixing, no soil testing, no teas. Just water straight through. I've been doing it this way for almost 3 years now, easiest thing ever. And I keep finding ways to make it easier, I just love it!
Good luck with yours!

moving in that direction, i've been recycling my "living" soil for nearly 3 years now since making the switch entirely to organics.
problem for ME with notill is my transient lifestyle - moving regularly (yearly) i dont "put down roots" well - yet. for me it's easier to grow in slightly smaller containers, so they are easier to move around. also i have simultaneous veg and bloom spaces an don't have enough soil beds (containers) currently to accommodate all my soil.
BUT
i think it's the way to go, like lap said - less work. for killer outcome.
imo worms are essential in notill - with all that undisturbed soil worms will establish and probably stay put forever if u keep them happy
i feel terrible dumping a load of soil and picking the worms out, hoping i can re-located them quickly and safely to ensure their survival and continued support of my crop(s).
same goes with kickass soil-life like rove beetles, hypoapsis miles, and all those microscopic critters too... probably loose alot of them when soil is dumped, tossed, "tilled", stored outside, etc.

Lol! Sweet bro! I'm glad poeple are still using the no till method.
That looks super beautiful! What strains are you running?
