***No Till Or Die Trying (3x3 and 2x4 living soil beds)***

I 100% agree and when it comes to living soil/no till organics, there can be a lot of things to bounce around indeed heh. I am looking forward to everyone’s soil evolution.

Ooh man, when I was pollenating and putting the trellis in earlier, that Galaxy was just soooooo greasy as just 3ish weeks in. Strong fruity/sour terps, I hope that only gets stronger and evolves because it is amazing as it is right now lol. Wishing I had taken a cut for sure. I may still be able to take one from the lower area and reveg it a bit, I am liking how that plant has done the whole time though.

Just a few quick mulch shots from the other day.

Layers of straw, cover crop, craft blend, kashi blend, leaves from defoliation, Leftovers from making SST’s etc and a few crystals/minerals around that my wife put in to keep the plants company and promote some health.

I had bought a few things from the Build A Soil black Friday sale, so I figured I would treat the bed to some of it. Loaded up 3.5 gallons of water in my sprayer and mixed in freeze dried coconut water, a pinch of build a bloom, aloe leaf powder, a pinch of big 6 micro nutrients and Quillaja extract.

I’m waiting for some goodies as well. I ordered a AC Infinity 8in fan from them to get the award pts a couple weeks back, they just shipped it. I know they got hit hard during the sale! The ladies all look super happy!

Damn @bassman5420 have you applied for tax exempt status for the church you’ve got going in that tent bud? They’re praying harder than a group of Irishmen in the first Sunday after St Paddies day

I’ve already been looking for a deal :laughing:
Is it the 19049 model?

Yes! I got mine from lowes, it was significantly less than anywhere else at the time, I think like $116 or something close to that vs like $160 elsewhere (guesstimating here, too lazy to look at real numbers, but you get the point, check out lowes!)

Lol! I am always down to talk about/hear about the glory of the sprayers. So I assume you have been using it like its part of your body now heh? I am curious what other nozzles this thing has available, even though I am more than happy with the ones it came with.

Also I may want to get me a gallon of vinegar to help clean the thing out every now and then. I have cleaned it out a few times with hot water and dish soap (rinsed out very well after), but it would be nice to get it a hair cleaner maybe. One time it was a bit stanky after I made and put some kelp/alfalfa/malted barley tea into it. It sat for a few more days than usual before I used it and it got a little ripe inside lol.

I feel I need to get this sprayer a bowtie, jacket, stickers or something to spice it up a bit lol.

Ha! That’s awesome, yes I’ve been trying to keep it as clean as I can, I’ve run into the same issue with my older sprayers, but yea, I’m wondering now how I got along without it up till now. I love how the spray nozzles fluff the top layer of mulch/soil, seems like it’ll help fight compaction over time. I would also be totally down to check out some optional nozzles too!

I have seen a few cone spray nozzles etc, but not a ton of other options I guess. I am curious if EM-5 would work well for cleaning the sprayer out.

Once I put the first layer of trellis in the 4x4 tent, I was extremely glad I had the sprayer because it was pretty tight to get into the bed for watering. But the sprayer made it EZ PZ and was able to get in there and saturate things perfectly.
