was transplanting my spare the other day and saw all these worms in the roots! I think my full season pots are gonna end up being lil worm farms, ive been going heavy with these castings for a couple months now. im wondering if I should put a little food for em in each pot, coffee grinds on the edges maybe?

Happy plants! I love the pic of the dog! Cheers!
Worms eat bacteria... which is already present in your soil. When they shit the bacteria out, the nutrients inside the bacteria are now plant available.... or something like that. You should only have to add what your soil test calls for. Beautiful plants.
nice work Pono. shit looks good. Kind of a noob question i see many of people laying down hay is it to keep your soil cooler? or does it have something to do with drainage?
^ you know what im talking about, im willing to try it in my in the ground outdoor plants but its pretty bare and dry around the area as is. It would have to be a no smoke zone if i was to lay some down

Just to clarify, hay has seed heads which will give you a lot of problems with weeds popping up around your plants. Straw doesn't give you the weeds so it works much better. Grow nerd is right, it helps the soil retain moisture, and to keep the soil more evenly moist, which is real important for organics and keeping your microherd healthy.
good vibes up your way bro, garden is looking great !
Bulldawg snouts FTW......Up close and personal......and yeah it`s bullshit what folks round my parts haveta deal with from LEO in da sky....
There`s SUPPOSED ta be a 1000' flight barrier that NO flights go below , but the choppers and ultra-lights fly just above tree canopy surface on the reg from April-Oct with complaints lodged constantly by the poultry farmers , so yeah....
I don`t blame Pops for discharging his weapon cuz it does fuck with the chickens in broilerhouses , makes em start runnin into shit and hurtin each other cuz chickens aint got much sense anyways....
Mine don`t like it and they`re what all ya`ll organickers call "free range" runnin round the yard...lol....anywho.....Plants kickin ass Bro.....keep up da killer work.....oh yeah....
Take another up-skirt shot of how yas clean out the innards on yo bitches so folks can see how to properly prune and shape main laterals and end colas....
Yo best friend touched on pruning earlier in that other thread bout employing a certain "method of pruning" developed by an old head back in the day on indoor plants , and showed before and after pics , but didn`t do closeups like that earlier pic of yours in this thread that shows how well they`re cleaned out already......anyways....thanks for your time...
Peace....Freds....

Hey, Hey, Hey... Hay is for horses (literally.) Hay is used to feed animals which is the main reason I wouldn't want it around. Mulch of any kind is good in this drought and all. I need to go pick up another bale today... I think a bale is gonna run you between 12-25 dollars.
Peace.
Peace.

I now know more about straw than I want to, so here's some basic info to share. There are two basic sizes of straw that you'll be dealing with, "two-" and "three-string bales".
2-string bale dimensions are 14" x 18" x 36" (5.25 cu ft)
3-string bale dimensions are 16" x 24" x 48" (10.5 cu ft)
A 3-stringer at a hay / straw supply farm cost me $6. IIRC TSC wants >$10 for a 2-stringer last time I looked (roughly 3-4x as expensive). Not that it's going to break the bank either way, but just a FYI.
The bales look relatively tightly baled and tidy, but make sure to wrap it up in tarp or a large bag if you're going to be transporting inside a vehicle (such as SUV), it'll mess it up. The 2-string bale should fit in a large garbage bag.

Care to post up any tea recipe's or fertilizer regimens? Everything looks super healthy!
Hey Pono,
I have admired your work for quite sometime, you killed it last year. I saw you dropped from the growing large plants thread. I am totally with you man. I have read the thread religiously for three years taught me more than any other single source. Now its just full of BS fertilizer salesman.
I wrote this one month ago on there " I don't like this thread being taken up by fertilizer claims either. To me this thread is about learning to grow monsters without the expensive fertilizers and liquid nutes. This thread taught me how to feed the soil. I went from spending thousands on these products a year, to about $100. There is about 10,000 indoor grow threads just full of information on the latest organic and inorganic nutes."
We should try and gather people from the thread who are sick of all the AEA hype and start a 2nd "growing big plants" without the nutrient company moles. Get back to basics organic growing cheaply and effectively without the big fertilizer companies.
