Sulfer lowers the pH of a medium. Holly tone is meant for acid-loving plants so it only figures that it would pack a lot of S. That MagiCal sounds like just what you need. It may not be organically-derived but I'll look the other way this time.

With low moisture and no air the medium will indeed sit dormant. This is good. Flop it into a tub, wet it and bubble it when you are ready.

guess I should have waited a little while. I got the fast acting lime and added 10tbsp to 12gal . Even with no added air or water, when I mixed it by hand it was warm in the middle.
I made up 2 buckets today. Kitty litter buckets that hold about 4gal ea. Dammit, I need smaller airstones. I guess it all goes together tommorrow.
Thank for all your help.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOO

ok i'm done how, It's funny the same names keep popping up.
Bitchin set up BTW.

Did a little playing around at walmart (and broke some glass Hoorah!) for some tubs that'll be fixn to stick in my rubbermade tubs (along with some new design modification) had to fill them up with water to see how big they were, ended up being 4 gallons so gonna use two of them with a platform looking doohicky intake thingy (need an upgrade to both intake / exhaust, think i've "engineered" a plan... maybe...

man... all i can say is you should try breaking some glass or something at walmart that usually helps. If not you can always get a pitbull and try wrestling (btw the pitbull wins, it's great times)

Sorry being stupid

Y'all won't believe what I am trying to pull: I am going to try and rent a tray/light at one of the shops in there demo garden to bust out a decent size experiment. It will have to be with basil, but if I can get it to work- which I will know like real fast- then I am going to have to have a serious talk about converting. One of the guys from the shop swears he's gonna come read the thread and seems into the concept.

They just got back from the indoor garden show- teas and microbes are all the "new" thing in indoor industry. You know what- this design is basically a tea brewer with plants living in it. It goes far beyond making tea and watering it in.

We shall see what happens. Your all going to laugh your assess off if I post up a tray of basil pics. All I know is if it works or not, and I can test it to scale without having to risk my precious garden, then I am stoked.

Regarding Fish Emulsion and Bat Guano, any particular brands? There are different Guanos available.

DM says he uses Indonesian guano, don't know the brand.

I started the inoculation yesterday in 2 buckets. Also did the rice wash for the LB. I don't have an extra airstone so I am using the method by jaykush, as far as I can tell the only difference is he does not add air so it takes longer. Hopefully my new air pump will come before I add the milk.
Here we go

Good luck McD

What type of "soil / organic compost" are you using? I need to buy a bagged brand without all of the additives (since I'll be adding those)?

I'm having a bitch of a time finding the "soil / organic compost" component. All the quality pre-bagged soils have many additives.

I wonder if I have time to compost my own. LadyL, do you have a "Speed Compost" recipe?

The more I work on this, the more I want to make compost from scratch. Make it good and proper like the Organic Gods like

Thanks

I just used my left over soil that my current grow is in. It is made by sta-green, and has 25% perlite added so I may be a little short on the soil component in my OBBT. I then added 50% ewc to the soil (2parts soil/perlite 1part ewc).
I just checked my buckets and they both have about 10% of the surface covered in grey fuzz.
They will have plants in them within the week.

Hey LadyL and friends

Can i have your thoughts on the following LL...

What PH do you shoot for when watering and feeding?
What are your thoughts on worms living in the biobox?
What stage in flowering do you start the flush and starve?

Cheers.

Seems awfully quiet here these days. I hope all the conflict hasn't turned the Grow Show into the No Show
