Oh I see....I keep the plates together between squishes to keep both hot. And I was having trouble keeping the top plate tight on round the ram shaft, had to keep re-tighting. So I drilled 2 slight indent holes in the shaft where the setscrews are. Now the top plate can rock back & forth & find it's own level when I bring the ram down. The set screws don't have to be tight. stopped my blowouts.

Yeah, putting the plates back together every few/5 squishes helps for sure
I wasn't having problems squishing concentrates really, but with flowers I was. It did help for sure.

I'm not having a problem with the set screws loosening. I was, but kept tightening them while the plates were hot, and it did the trick. They're stout AF now, even after outfitting with the leather. I'm sure you got plenty more squishes in than me though, so hopefully that doesn't become an issue down the road like it did for you. Thanks for that tip dude!

What's up guys, happy late New Years!

Happy to say I'm finally gettin things goin after relaxing through the winter.

Here's what I got in the works rights now.

Just 21 auto mazars in 5 gallon smart pots in some soil I've used a few times now, gonna be feeding them with teas.

That's just what I got for a small late winter grow, not sure on my intentions yet for the rest of the year, but I got about 500 gallons of soil tarped up and another 150 in the pic, this will be the second time growing in this soil.

Not too sure on how I should go about reusing it, was thinking of adding about 30% ewc and 30% rice hulls for now, any advice?

I'm gonna be reusing soil this year to, my plan was just to use "subcools super soil recipe" on my old fox farm.. and maybe make the mix a little lighter than his recommendation? Hopefully some of the more experienced users who reuse soil regularly chime in with some advice! Best of luck this year!

Literally all the soil you see in the smart pots was sub cools mix and have gone through a few auto grows just using teas.

My few yds of soil I got is LC's mix recipe #1 going on it's second run.

Best of luck to you as well!

That's awesome man. So you liked using subs mix? If it worked well, are you going to use it again for your reused soil or why ask for opinions on what to do with the reused soil? I feel like I'm missing something here lol.

Haha sorry for not being more clear.

I didn't care much for the mix, it got the job done and that was it. I'd just prefer not to throw it out so I use it all for my autoflower grows throughout the year.

The soil that I am referring to reusing is the yd or 2 of the LCs mix recipe #1.

This will be my first time reusing soil, excluding all my super soil auto flowers that I feed with teas. Hope that cleared it up a bit.

I won't be amending or spending big bucks on super soil . Will be starting with good soil and feeding Mr B's greens trees and the soil should stay alive and sustain a good nutrient level always . This way I harvest , rip the root ball out and replant. No soil swaps, salt lock outs or hot soils or cooking time.
