..... and don't forget that donkeys and horses inside also give off lots of heat - think of the Holy Family in the cozy manger at Christmas time.:tiphat:

Thanks for the advice.ive never heard of an aerobic compost.is that like putting a bunch organic stuff together and burning it? I've got all the donkey and horseshit I need! Lol


Aerobic compost is what people usually mean when they say compost. (These days there are so many ways of composting I just wanted to be specific).


it is just putting waste to a container (better success if you pay attention to Carbon:Nitrogen ratio, or browns and greens as people talk). Core of the process is microbes (aerobic ones). They like to live in moist, warm environment with oxygen. They eat the waste and produce heat and co2.


Mixing or turning the compost is a way to give them oxygen. (without this the aerobic microbes die and an-aerobic microbes take over - this means rotting and produces stench). Also turning is a way to regulate the heat levels within compost as core of the compost gets 'too' warm.



Composting indoors is bit trickier than outdoors due to space limitations. Outdoors the compost can be nearly as simple as small stall of garbage that decomposes. core of the pile is where the microbes work and outer layers act as insulation for the core.



Indoors a plastic container is needed - ideally with some insulation to help the compost reach ideal temperature. 50 Gal plastic barrel or something like that? Larger compost is easier to get running and we do need volume as we desire the heat it gives.


With quick search (outdoor compost):
"
Normal Heating

The ideal internal temperature for an active compost pile is between 90 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (see References 1). In general, a compost pile must be at least 3 feet tall, 3 feet wide and 3 feet deep before the center will reach this temperature range (see References 3). Several factors may cause fluctuation of the core temperature of the compost, including the composition of the compost, outside temperature and aeration of the pile (see References 4).

Why Does Compost Heat Up?

Aerobic bacteria are responsible for the process of turning organic waste into compost. These organisms thrive in a moist environment with access to oxygen and a combination of materials high in carbon and nitrogen. The bacteria use nitrogen and oxygen to break down high-carbon materials like wood or paper in a chemical process that produces heat as a side effect. The process is more efficient than anaerobic decomposition and produces no smell. (See References 5, page 30 to 31)"

Well, you could pull the seeds and make RSO

but you may as well do it on a silkscreen though you will get triches that way

There are usually people around maybe youre local area doing RSo donations

If you have a local med marijuana forum you may find something you can get right now donated

phoenixtears.ca is a good place to get the dosages and directions on making the oil

gotta be someone in the general area maybe out of a dispensery that does oil for free serious illness

maybe call around or get down to santa cruz area many folks down there likely to help you

Thats crazy about this fire hope you come out the other side for the better I know you will!

peace

That's goodnews!

Heard good things about this place if you need cbd oil thats real and tested

https://cloudcofarms.com/

and also these folks where you can pick up straight cbd flowers as well as concentrates

https://tweedlefarms.com/


I wouldnt dare trust a local cbd anything unless i knew them personally some stuff has been tested independently and came up zero cbd or full of fillers pesticides etc etc...

Thats a great start 5 plants, Oil, and all that....

Will be an interesting 'Croptober' for sure this time with all the so called "hemp" coming down which is some real serious bud in some cases

Its gonna change a few things for the better :biggrin: We hope!

Yeah and that's the thing.nobody knows a damn thing about cbd or cannibis here.its all new.its a pipe dream but the farmer I'm staying with is toying with the idea of getting a license and growing a ton of plants and making oil.i don't know the details but that would be cool I guess.im not gonna be a part of it.im more concerned about my house winterized.otherwise I'm gonna freeze to death.well I can buy some box heaters though.sorry but I'm not to keen on the compost idea just yet! But I will if I have too! Lol

I was going to say CLR mold and mildew but then when I looked found this one

Biocide 100

'Biocide 100 is an EPA registerd mold cleaning solution. The Preferred Product of Professional Mold Remediators and Water Mitigation Specialists'.

You need something that will actually work mold is a Bitch

have no idea how safe or effective it might be but looks official

I dont think you want breathe solvents or even bleach I used CLR mold and mildew on walls inside grow rooms and it worked pretty well and I got the bleach free stuff as it was a some what sealed in space and I had to use a lot of it

You dont want to breath the mold or the shit to kill the mold make sure to get some sort of breathing protection doing that work

Ive had good success with a peppermint based product called Plant Therapy.
Been using it in the garden about a year and on several construction projects where mold was present. The brochure that came with free sample cited its use in hurricane katrina clean up.
Works well, non toxic to humans and smells nice.
Pm me an address and i will send some if interested.
