I do give a shit, I’ve even gift wrapped a little turd just for you, lol! Nah, glad to see you back at it, and with what looks like a nice set up.
Sucks about losing your vault, but if you need/want any of your Soul Mate F2’s, I think I’ve got a few… and they are very good 
Might have some chemmy stuff coming, I’ll let you know… in the meantime, I’ll see an empty corner 
If HorseBadorites likes ya, you must be cool. I’m taking a seat 
haha yoo where you been bro? i mean i read your post and i know, but you know what i mean lol, i havn’t been on there a lot either but imma pheno hunt some stuff pretty soon
you made that damn light, props to you! welcome back and welcome to organic that soil looks legit to me
Not a bother at all, happy to follow along. Did I follow your last round? Haha. I can’t remember. Wha’d you grow? When was that? Sorry, my memory sucks. It musta been a while ago, though, right?
I’ll be watching buddy dont worry. I love learning how other people grow as it often gives me ideas for my own future grows. Good luck
@HorseBadorites hahaa it’s all fertiliser 
Yeh gutted my seed stash is gone, but if you do have a few of those Soul Mate f2s kicking about, I might hit you up for those sometime.
I lost like 200+ of those 
@supershitfuck yeh the light has been a bit of an evolution, my first two DIY attempts did the job, but I feel like I’ve hit my stride with this one, plus the wiring is much tidier now.
What do you plan on hunting? If I had the space I’d love to hunt some Bodhi Packs
@minitiger it’s all good! Not sure if you’d followed but I know you’d dropped by a few times. It was this one Bodhi Soulmate f2 grow & f3 / S1 making
bro i still have those you sent me too, i feel bad i never grew 'em but now if you need 'em back they are yours of course
for sure some freeborn selections packs, crickets and cicada puck BC3, triangle kush S1s, maybe some guerilla fume F2s i made but i have two keepers of those so maybe not
the space is nice but i don’t have time! i think imma do 100 1gal pots, and reveg the standouts, should be easier that way
100 x 1gal sounds like a good way to get a varied population. Would love to see that ! And Truangle Kush s1s sound good too.
If you don’t have plans for the Soul Mate f2 beans, I’d happily take some back, and I’ll cover the postage too.
Not sure if anyone has any experience with yhis sort of thing, or know anyone that has done this.
My container is this 60x60x30 fabric bed, with the hollow pvc pipe frame.
I forgot to take pictures as I set it up, but I basically did this to the pipe all along the bottom edges, (pic is just example).
I guess I was thinking it would help aeration within the soil. I even wondered if it might be a good way to add water to the bottom of the bed. I havnt added any water down there yet, as I didn’t want to overwater in the early stages and fuck it up lol. But as they get into late veg and flower, I might give it a try.
A vertical pipe in the middle of the soil at about half depth might be more interesting for watering.
Closing it off with a lid or something to prevent gnats laying their eggs at the bottom.
Then you can topdress with all kinds of mulch and let it all dry out and decompose at its own pace.
@Rogue
That would probably be better than water the edges yeh.
Like I say I hadn’t intended to put water down there, but knowing I put the hole in the pipe, I kind of want to try it hahaa 
I basically added unnecessary temptation to my grow.
Simple and easy is the most joyful way when it comes to organic growing. 
Everything in life really.
Say that again!!
I’m an artist, and its a constant struggle to put the pen/brush/spray down and walk away when I paint haha.
With my plants, I just love the process of caring for them, I’m genuinely fascinated by them.
I find myself tinkering and looking for more things I can do. But like you say simpler is better.
Observing is less tiring and free.
I have discovered that I learn a lot more from observing than doing.
No need to cover the postage, DM me your addy and i got you, you lost your damn collection i’ll hook you up with some other killer shit i tested too like mean gene and CSI stuff
Honestly, you’ve no idea how much I appreciate that!
I’m constantly blown away by the generosity of the OG crowd!
Just little update, so I can keep track of dates etc.
Today I watered aprox 5% by volume of the container (4-5ltr) with a 1/4 tsp of Quillaja 20. Trying to maintain a good moisture level so when I plant into the bed they’ll hopefully hit the ground running.
I managed to find someone in UK selling on ebay, what they claimed to be Jay Plantspeakers Quillaja extract. After a few messages back an forth with them, they sent out a small sample for me to test. I wasn’t keen on paying £20-30 for a random powder in an unmarked bag, that could have been anything.
But sample arrived, and it seems legit. So I’ll likely purchase a bigger quantity end of this month.
I’m guessing there’ll not be many in UK using Quillaja, but any US or Canadian growers using this stuff?
Hey! Good to see you back online! Sorry to hear about the loss of your seed stash that’s a kick in the balls.
If you’d like some bing f2s I can send some your way, just drop me a msg.
Never heard of it, but I just googled it, sounds like it’s similar to aloe? I read the word “saponin” like 20 times in the description, anyway haha.
I use aloe a few times a grow, both as a drench and in my IPM recipe, mostly because it’s supposed to encourage root growth. I don’t even remember what all it’s supposed to do, actually haha, but I have it, so I use it. I dunno if it does anything that wouldn’t be happening if I didn’t use it, but it doesn’t seem to hurt anything. Maybe that quillaja’s kinda the same?
Yeh so quillaja is very high in saponins, and that acts as a waiting agent allowing the water to soak into the soil a lot easier, so it won’t just run off any areas that might have dried out.
Saponins are supposed to be a great natural plant growth promoter. Great for using in foliar sprays as well.
I was put onto it by watching a lot of BuildASoil videos on YouTube. And I’ve been following Jay Plantspeaker on IG for a couple years now. Jay grows some absolute monster trees if you havnt seen them too.
