No not crazy....just what you should be doing.

I think we would all be in big trouble if worms at roots....worms are how I judge my soil health.

what do you look for as far as signs your soil is in good health? just curious, im only a couple/few years into my journey into organics and still learning all i can, especially about troubleshooting & how to look out/what to look out for.

yesterday i mixed up a 4 gallon batch of bokashi (in a 5 gallon bucket, sealed lid); used rice hulls, panella, em1, humic acid concentrate & seaweed powder (bioag). I dilluted the panella (raw sugar) into about 8 cups of water then sprayed and mixed and stirred that water into the rice bran, stirred in a couple tablespoons of the bioag humics, put the lid on tight and tossed it around good... will check it in about 2 weeks, at which time i expect it to be well innoculated. Will probably mix it into my topcoat mix for everything in veg

So you get your breeding chamber worked out? what was the problem with it, insulation?

yhea, insulation....
it's COLD out there....
i setup a 1kw bulb in there all sealed up, temps shot up to 105 and stayed there, so i installed a 4 inch fan on a thermostat, temp drops to 55 with lite on, fan never turns on because heat is simply escaping out of the 4 inch hole...
so now i want to build a small damper to sit on the 4" fan, block warm air from simply escaping while temp is building up...
also, when lites are out in the breeding chamber i will have to run a small heater....
and me still with no male currently to breed with, I don't want to put plants out there and come back to them frozen, and I have to weight the benefits of running a heater, a 1kw lite and risking it all to the cold.

[Seaf0ur]

I'm absolutely sure you can find a few male plants, but you gotta get temps in line before it'll matter...

[Avinash.miles]

fuckin' temps.... i'm sure they will hold, shit i could probably do a run in there at 55f if i REALLY wanted to do it asap, but the cost of the electricity for lite AND heater for lites out after this most recent relocation, just being conservative with funds at this time before pushing it too hard..
on the other hand i think if i HAD the males i'd be full steam ahead to fill the damn chamber and flip it... to get seeds-a-makin'

either way, gotta focus on all these lil veg plants coming up, making sure they don't wait too long to be transplanted... since going organic that's one thing i have noticed - timing of transplants (earlier rather than later) has more to do with proper growth & progress when growing organic than with chems... when i was on hydro nutrients in nuetral media i could veg 2 ft tall plants out of solo cups, transplant into 3 gallons and flip after only a week. not anymore.

gotta love dirt...

today I took the 1kw out of the ice cold breeding chamber and moved it to a new veg area just for 1gallons... up-potted the biggest solo cups (from rockwool cloning) into 1gallon pots.

emptied about 60% of the aero - cloner into solo cups, pulled out a bunch of Original Glue (gg4), gluebreath, and ogkb2.0, plus some silver grapefruit minion city diesel, catpiss x moontang, and Blueberry x NorthernLights#5.

ya that's a new one for me, came with a slew of other "old school" strains; acapulco gold, panama red, cheese... not sure if they are sticking around or not at this point.
