Favorite growing method - indoor soil! I love focusing on my soil biology almost moreso than the plant-specific aspects. Organic amendments and fertilizers from things like dead plants, critters, bones and fish waste!

Which is the best grow tool/accessory you are using?

the sun

 

[Hoss_Beardman]

Thanks for hosting another contest!

I prefer to grow the BuildaSoil way. Living soil, no till, cover crop, composting, teas sometimes but mostly water only.

I do love plugging them into mother earth outside also. Straight in the ground, natural sun and water.

 

[Phytoplankton]

I'm an old school dirt farmer, give me a cloth bag and a couple cubic feet of FFOF and good organic nutes, and I'm good to go!

 

[Oscar Golph]

Raphael mechoulam

A great researcher and the man who named the psychotropic molecule "anandamide" (bliss molecule)
his research put me on a journey into the mountains of kashmir, and also kinda won me a court case trial before trial, back in the day, (using the right to work human rights law) but i had to take a deal because the lawyers were against me pleading not guilty to breaking a statute of the government, total feckin corrupt bastards. They said, if they found me guilty (the jury) The judge would nail my hat on with a 5 year sentence. They eventually stole my home under the POCA. i was making seeds.

 

[smokeymacpot]

favorite method is scrog

 

[Farmer John]

20+ years organic. I love dirt and soil feels good in your hands.

 

[mack 10]

For personal it's got to be a good soil and I use Cellmax bio grow and bloom
As it's easier to work with bottled nutes indoors.
Simple and with some good genetics,
The results can surprise.

Best tool/accessory is the filter box forcing clean air into the tent.

 

[brickweeder]

gotta love all those tops...so basically after topping and when u have 2 long enough shoots, one shoot goes in each slot and the wedge keeps them separated? May have to fire up the 3d printer...

These are 3d printed too , i apply them before branches get too woody .
They work really well im going to use them in my tent this time around to still allow me access to tent without having to scrog until the end just to hold tops up on big cola's

One branch runs trough each one .
I can share you the stl file if you like .
This design in picture isnt as good ,too hard to fit and remove with hook design and its not necessary at all

Got it...thank you much! Opened it up in orca....3d printing is great....gonna cost me $.09 each. Yeah, I hate having all those strings and wires between the stems and container...much cleaner with your branch trainer.

Make sure you use a filament that doesnt soften in the sun or heat.
Happy printing
