    "mix everything up and add some moisture so that it is wet but not sitting in a puddle of water. loosely cover it (a large tarp works great) and once a week mix it up to introduce fresh air." can this be done in colder weather or do i need to wait for the spring solstice? if i wait until...

    any way to know if my native soil is amendable?

    ive been reading a bunch and some people are saying if your native soil is okay then you can use half and half. (so in my case 1/3 spagnum peat, ewc, aeration)...and then some minerals, organic all purpose fert mixed in, and then mix that with half of my native soil) if this is possible then...

    Any pointers to growing 1 lb plants?

    awesome reply. ive actually been debating pots vs in the ground for years now. ive heard so much mixed replies from people saying not to plant in the ground because once the roots reach the native soil (if its not very good soil) then problems will occur. could you perhaps speak on behalf of...

    Any pointers to growing 1 lb plants?

    yea i think i might invest in a 55 gallon drum or two, bury them, fill them as needed every three weeks or however fast the water is used up, i might also learn more about timer watering with drip systems or something similar. the weather here is very unpredictable, sometimes you can plant in...

    Any pointers to growing 1 lb plants?

    I would like to preface this by saying I have never grown cannabis but have been reading on this sight for three years. This will be my first grow. I am aware growing outdoors your plants are very vulnrable to the elements and pests. I am also very aware as a first timer I should not expect much...

    Confused about fertilizer

    So I made a post yesterday asking for a very simple soil recipe that would make 100 gallons worth of soil on a budget. What I was told is to use equal parts canadian spagnum peat moss, compost (earth worm castings), drainage (lava rock, pumice rice hulls etc), and some minerals (rock dust). He...

    BUDGET soil mix for 100 gallons?

    Thank you so much for the in depth reply. A few follow up questions. 1. With canadian spagnum peat moss, is pH something I should be worried about? (This goes for the worm castings and other amendments as well) 2. With worm castings do I need to be worried about NPK values? If so then what is...
