I believe the fiorrest mulch was for a worm bin. I was wondering on that cuz I was told shredded newspaper and cardboard. Also I'd like to start producing hypoapsis miles if it can be done that way.

Yes sir. Every once in a while I get a gnat outbreak. I figured it might be something to look into. Im trying to start a worm bin anyways.

Sweet! So forest compost, like leaves and debris laying on the ground in the woods? What kind of grains?

Like barley, wheat, rye et. I forget exactly, grain mix has like 6

Lol ok...Forrest compost.... that makes sense now. Once they're established, how do you control them? I mean, do they stay in the bin?

I do a very unique style of ewc. My containers are basically 3 gallon buckets. So I have a handful of buckets that I never put worms in. Those without worms seemed to really keep the population booming. I ended up just recycling that material into my soil mix.
It would be cool to try to actually raise them efficiently but it was more of a random observation than anything else.

Here ya go kind sir. Some updates.

What in the PURPLE heck!
this is my new favorite keepers.
strain.( black cherry soda x querkle) x long valley royal kush.

damnnnn -really zoom into that bud. Anyone every had purps like this before?? I’m stoked. Room is at 85 so this is 100% genetics

Almost....

Haha she keeps on giving. What a absolute beast! Props to galacticgardens on this one.
I know I keep posting this same damn tester plant but this pheno is on fire. Can’t wait
needless to say I’m gearing up for a real pheno hunt. Going for 48 and might find a even better momma. And maybe keeps some males.

Hey guys don't mean to hijack the thread but didn't want to create a new one just to ask this. This was the most recent place I saw this being discussed so rather than necro an old one ill ask here.

These bugs are in my worm bin since last feeding (I had just switched containers and fed a good amount of scraps).

Are these Hypoaspis Miles or some other mites I should be worried about?

pheww. thanks homie

now to fill her up. Going to put 8 gelato bubba kush in this 4x8. Excited for this little tent. Hopefully I’ll be able to veg in the tent inside my flower room for a few weeks before the tent catches up.
I guess we’ll find out how light proof these gorillas are ....

Another trichome shot

Here’s something exiting. Day two in the 4x8 grass roots with blusoak hose and mainline manifold. Not gunna lie this thing is sick. About 300 gallons of soil. Mostly recycled with some bag 707 as a filler.

Simple companions for first round. 5 clover blend and peas. Ez pz.
2 x hlg 600.

the real trick is getting the gorilla tent light sealed as its inside my flower room and I’m begging this tent for about 2 weeks. I was kinda disappointed in the gorilla lite line because there are pinholes everywhere. Ugh. Whatever just took black poly overtop the whole thing during dark 12 in flower room.


strain is gelato x bubba kush
