That Glue would be hard to fuck with, some of the best buds I have seen in a long time. Even the big fans are getting frost all over them. Like grow of the year material , for reals reals .

I should have some pictures to share shortly.

I thought things were going to be coming to an end at this spot, so I let the veg room get out of control dirty, and then came to the understanding that my services were still desired. I could not get shit to clone for a long time and almost lost all my mothers because of it.

But most of my moms were saved and the ones that weren't, were kindly replaced by FAM and then some.

And veg room is now in pristine condition.


But here's what I'm stoked on at the moment - I run 8kW and the way Im seeing things, only ever dirt I will ever have to buy and mix will be for making new moms. I think I've mentioned this before, but when I transplant, I dig a hole slightly larger than the rootball and put that dirt aside. Into the hole goes a bunch of EWC with worms abound. Then goes the plant. Then I sidedress with my dried amendments that have been all mixed up in a 5 gallon bucket. The dirt that I set aside fills in the rest of the hole. I ALWAYS have dirt left over from this. And it's REALLY good dirt for new clones. I put that dirt into half filled half gallon grow bags and put a rooted clone into it. It's happy for about 4-5 weeks with water only. If I'm ready for a transplant, its good to go. If I need a little longer, I have room in the bag for a topdress. Lather, rinse, repeat. Too easy, soo little work involved. Amazingly cheap and HIGH quality.

My beds are almost all castings at this point, lol. It doesn't seem to be a bad thing yet.

Oh yeah, there was another thing I'm pretty excited about. These beds produce a rather insane amount of co2. The past few nights I've looked at the monitor, it's been between 1150 and 1250ppm. I don't have any bottles or burners!!

Worms! I remember reading about earthworms contributing to greenhouses gases because of the carbon dioxide that results from their activities. This idea has crossed my mind many times in regards to the worm farm and earthworm-rich soil and the garden they support.
I love that you have ppm measurements that show the co2 benefit of living soil.

Glad to hear you are gearing up for another round! You know that LL is closer now. You need a mono crop of her. I'd love to see you blow her out! :respect:

From what I've heard about that Lazy Lightning, I think I'd love to see me blow her out too! Word is, she's got feet literally 30 minutes away from me :)

I am glad to see somebody else experience this phenomenon, I got called out in another thread when I said my veg room gets all the co2 it needs from the soil!

All plants produce co2/ do not use it at night.... everyones room should be high at night. During the day if the co2 level is above 250 naturally with no outside air, I would be very impressed.

Either way keep on doing what your doing. Worm power!

MY nights are the plant's days, sorry I was unclear. When lights are on, I'm getting between 900 and 1250.

Worm power!

From what I've observed in the past, it really doesn't get much higher than 1300. As the plants get bigger, more co2 is absorbed, but the same amount is still being produced from the beds. In full bloom, it's around 900-950ppm.

nice
very nice.
you probably got that from all the rep spent here though. wink.
i noticed that you don't use mulch...can you identify what the worms are feeding on...is it just rootballs? ...or the small handful of amendments you add when transplanting?
sorry if i missed it, this thread has some astounding genetics and your pics have been good, while only a couple times sand getting kicked into face.

going to stand with the other admirers so i don't stick out so much. (flower boner)

ive noticed in my pots if I put minced leaves or plant feeds that are granular the worms make quick work of it, much bigger, not so much
