Dear Gentlefolks, A serious dilemma, is presenting itself on the horizon. My presence is required away from two drying girls. But they are about done and soon need trimming and curing. They are going to go extra crisp if they wait for my return. Any suggestion on how I could slow down the drying...

Dear Gentlefolks, Heartbrakingly, my girls will have to be left alone for about 10 days. I grow in ROLS with 3 and 2 gallon pots that can withstand up to one week of drought before serious signs of weakness start to show. I am looking for a tested low-tech method that can help the soil stay...

Dear Gentle Folks, As a rule of life, I try to avoid to fill the landfills as much as possible. With that in mind I tried a couple of times (and failed) to refill my filters... So I imagined an upcycling route for the filters. The casings can be reassigned to hundreds of other creative uses...

Dear Gentle folks, I have been contemplating a transition from ROLS to NoTill in my minuscule 2x2 tents. How would you NoTill gardener do? I have a series of questions: 1-Would you use a 20 gallon pot allowing a better air circulation around the pot or use a 25 gallon pot that is stuck to the...

Dear GentleFolks, I have been collecting all the leaves, twigs and branches that I trim off my plants. Discarding them upsets me. So I dried the plant material, blended it into a powder and fed some to my worms today to see what happens. I assume the active substances in these plant material...

Dear GentleFolks, I have been polluting my favorite thread with my obsession on N toxicity. So, I decided to ask my question directly to the RIU Organics Citizen. Quick summary: For my first try at ROLS, I mixed a bespoke soil with many ingredients. I had one grow with the soil and was happy...

Dear Gentlefolks, A while back I found a creepy crawler in my soil mix. As I encourage maximum diversity in my soil (and as a matter of fact everywhere else as well) I was happy to find this ugly thing... Until I identified it as being probably a Lithobius forficatus. The name is as nasty as the...

Dear Gentlefolks, I am finishing up my first grow ROLS style. The entire grow has been peaches and cream so far. I grew 4 regular sensiseed super skunk (drive down memory lane) and all were female, not a single unwanted living organism that I could spot (besides some kinda funky virus but no...

Dear GentleFolks, I would love to convert my tiny grow that was gonna be a ROLS into a perpetual no till. I have two 2'x2' tents. One for vegging & one for flowering (4plants at a time). Do you think I can have a tent with small vegging plants in say 3 gallons pots and send them to the...

Dear Gentlefolks, I have recently started to verse in organic grows. Hardcore style with no (or as little as possible) animal by-products added directly. I started reading Teaming with Microbes (amazing read). And it got me wondering. By trying to emulate Mother Nature's cohorts and using...

Dear Gentlefolks, I have been reading intensively any (serious) online sources dealing with WCT. I just started to use these brews. I was wondering if any of you ever built different bins to supply the plants with specific foods/beasties? meaning for example a bin where you put more banana peals...

Dear Gentlefolks, I am very much interested in brewing some good stuff on a minute scale. I have close to 0 experience with brewing. I read a lot ( too much) an the subject. One thing I learned from the forums is JUST DO IT! I have a tendency to way overthink, plan ahead, do spread sheets, time...

Dear Ladies and Gentelmen, I was browsing the bottled water in my supermarket and reading the labels. I came across an imported water (belgian or swiss am not sure) with the highest Calcium and Magnesium content of all the brands. Mg 120mg/L and Cal 550mg/L. Out of curiosity, would watering my...

Greetings dear RIU folks, I was working on a custom made LED light for tiny space. Two goals, 1-proper spectrum 2-low heat goal 1 is achieved. I had the bestester LED experts on the WWW helping me with the design of my 100W light. Goal two is an overkill. With no ventilation whatsoever in a...
