Wow, thanks for checking in. Long story short: another Rollitup user claimed to know my location by tracing the metadata on my photos, so I deleted all of them. :( I'm in the process of learning how to remove metadata from my photos before uploading them...

I've been seeing that! What do you recommend to mix into the vermicompost to make it more useable?

May 11, Day 25 of Flower Soil was dry, leaves still falling... I gave 1 gallon with 1 tsp Cal-Mag Plus 2-0-0. pH 6.5 ... That should be the last time I give any Cal-Mag. Next time should be just water.

Woah. Are these outdoors? Curious about what kind of soil, light, watering/feeding schedule you've got going on

Today, May 9 Yesterday, each plant got 1 quart. But the soil felt dry just now. The moisture meter read dry no matter where I placed it in the soil. So I gave 2 gallons split between them. Used Big Bloom organic, 4 Tbsp/gallon, to refresh the soil microbes after the heavy nute concentration...

The right temperature for shelter you from the storm

Ahh, big brain time 8)

Hey friends. I just read here that using synthetic fertilizers kills most or all of the microbes in the soil food web. I was about to top dress my plants with my homemade worm castings and feed with Tiger Bloom. I was even going to use a full recommended dose since my plants are showing signs...

Yoooo, someone replied!! Yeah, same light. It's great in my opinion. I'm growing 4 plants in a 2.5ft x 5ft x 73" tent. In there it keeps the perfect temperature -- daytime temps at 75-80, nighttime temps at 70-75. It would grow your plants for sure.

I first got worms off craigslist :) Here's the Vemicompost thread! https://rollitup.org/t/vermicomposters-unite-official-worm-farmers-thread.637587/page-76#post-15503541 I made my own worm bin using two utility storage bins. On one bin, I drilled holes into the bottom for drainage and at the...

I love worms. They eat trash and have hermaphroditic orgies.

Just harvested a big ol' jug of worm castings for the first time. Felt kinda bad taking it from the lil buggers -- they looked so happy nestled in their dirt. Anyhow, I was wondering just what it is exactly is in worm castings. Everyone knows its good for growing, but why? What does it do? Off...

Thanks so much! Will you give em citrus? I'm juicing limes every week :P From what I've read, there seems to be a divided house on sharing peels with the worms

Ah good to know! Would that mean it's fruitless to compare nute solution ppm and soil runoff ppm? My plants leaves have alway seemed rather dark to me, but this is my first grow
