I use 7 clovers including 3 subterranean clovers, chia, vetch and I always toss down marigold seeds.

Mint is invasive, it will always spread out. It needs a defined area to grow by itself like a container or it will never stop expanding.

thanks for the safety tips MM, I'd def have to change HOW i work the room if switched to mostly vert.... maybe a set of xmas lites down low in canopy near and one up high. i like the green headlamp idea too.

I am considering putting some earthworms directly into the beds (kiddie pools) this upcoming round... what yall think? would it be a waste to get nightcrawlers (or wigglers) and put just a dozen or 2dozen per bed? also wana get a worm farm going, but putting them right in the soil is.... more direct, right? certainly more immediately useful, is my thinking.

also, anything wrong with planting some mint in my kiddie pools as a kind of cover crop? already have some growing in 1gal pots in the grow room and plenty to outside i could transplant into the beds.


Durr.... Sorry I missed your map of the proposed new layout before interjecting A.Miles.
hahaha...that's what I get for hopping on here 1st thing in morning/still in bed.

I second or third no mint into the kiddie pools.

If you have pots outside, gather earthworms from under them every couple days. If not, throw down a damp piece of cardboard or create a damp pile of leaves outside on the ground, come back in 3 days and scoop the worms up. OR build a worm getter- a metal rod connected to a battery source.

Screen my EWC fairly well to get all worms out, but babies & eggs always make it thru to the betterment of my soil & plants. Been using a smart pot big bed for my worm bin, but going to build a horizontal flowing 2 or 3 chambered worm bin.

Buckwheat, fava, and a Super-N cover crop mix are my go-to's for organic material. Then my neighbor lets me borrow her leaf shredder to grind up leafs and twigs for the worms bin bedding + used rice hulls from the wineries.

Anyone ever use any exotic manure? My lady met a person from a local safari place, never been, but they have rhinos, giraffes, elephants, etc and they produce a lot of manure...which apparently I can go and get now... so anyone ever mess with jungle poo? Figure only take animals with a vegetable/fruit diet and create a huge pile of exotic manure, horse dung, chicken litter/bedding and ground-up leaves + grass clippings & let it bake until next spring. Or bake it till fall & give it over to the worms.

I got bat houses & couple well placed bird shit trays around the house/under trees. Plus the chickens and bunnies (really liking their shit) keep me in the poo rather well. The rabbit poop you can add directly to plants, no need to cook.

Worms in your kiddie pool is not a bad idea. Paying for them may be though. Do you have access to a creek, river, lake where you can go dig up some worms? I know in Co. digging worms is not a s easy as it sounds. Hell I haven't seen an earth worm in the ground since I left the south.

I have some nightcrawlers in my garden soil, will continue "importing" local worms into kiddie pools from the veggie garden where I saw them. Also I will try the cardboard trick to get more worms to show themselves. Will probably end up paying for some if the budget allows.

Sounds like something a leprechaun would do... "7 clovers, chia and a hairy vetch"

LOL, I feel like merlin mixing up these organic concotions like fpe's, sst's, compost teas;
eye of newt, badgers brain, virgins blood, freshwater clam shells, yellow yarrow, the shit of a mare aged 3 years, and something sweet.

I have absolute no experience with exotic manure.... I do remember a thread "apeshit in africa" on icmag, smelly florist in africa said he had lots of aged elephant shit and other exotic organic type stuff.

Def will NOT be planting mint in the kiddie pools, BUT will probably put a few containers (1 gallon) of mint around the room, perhaps some thyme as well, rosemary even. As for an actual cover crop; I still have plenty of clover seed & wheat berries.

Ending week 6 now, buds seem a tad behind what I am accustomed to seeing at this time of flowering. NO plants have ANY red hairs yet, everything in white still. Recently I have only added some sea-green (kelp extract), yarrow tea, and aloe to the soil via root feed. No foliars at all in nearly 3 weeks now. Cookies are bulking up big time, twista as well has really started to show impressive swell. Glue frosting up nicely and the damn Pura Vida is popcorning away like yield never has mattered to her.

Just got back from a lil road/camping trip down to 4 corners area; here is the highlight reel:

picked a bunch of lambs quarter and dandelion today for mixing up another fermented plant extract, the last one is halfway done or so, should be ready to separate in a week.

moving soil from cooking on a tarp outside to inside in kiddie pools, gonna put a small test plant in it to be sure the soil is not too hot for plants, i seriously doubt it is, but don't want to scorch any more plants.
scored some red lava rock today, pre-crushed and FREE, stirring it into soil in kiddie pools

Here is a pic of one of the tops of the G13 x Bubble gum:

^^ seems like instead of bulking and finishing the tops are elongating and putting on new nodes. typically I would blame this on being too far or too close to the light.... but these are right in the "sweet spot" between 16 and 20 inches from the 1kw hps bulb.

^^^ lime cookies bubba frosting up big time.

What is twista? looks like a high yeilding sativa...
I'm not sure WHAT it is exactly as far as it's genetic makeup, but ya, it's a high yield sativa for sure... finishes in under 10 weeks (9, I'm told). It won 3rd place at cannabis cup in denver in 2014 for sativa AND came with high praise from a pal (same guy i got the cali connect cookies from). Figured it was worth a shot, I'm sure i can grow it better than The Green Solution (who entered it in the cup).
edit: according to green solutions website twista is shiva x trainwreck, here is a link: http://www.tgscolorado.com/flowers-sativa-twista
I must say that the pic they show is NOTHING like mine, their pic doesn't even look sativa to me... TGS is probably one of the LEAST respected dispensaries in colorado, but I ain't gonna let that tarnish this strain for me :D I will also add that the smell of my Twista buds are definitely similar to the typical Trainwreck smell, slightly more citrus (sweet citrus) than trainwreck.
