Hello everybody. This thread here is my latest project. Currently in the process of building a new grow room in my basement. I have a room now but it is not my ideal space to work in. I’m in the middle of my second organic grow. Some experimentation involved. Some of the plants are growing in Roots Organic bag soil and some are growing in some coots mineral mix. 1/3 peat, 1/3 worm castings, 1/3 lava rock. Growing Jillybean by TGA, Bubba Kush by HSO, Green Crack by HSO, and a strain called Green Love Potion not sure on the breeder.
Nice, I love watching a good build!

Some compost tea brewing here. All I use for the tea is molasses and earth worm castings. 2 cups of castinga and I’m not exactly sure how much molasses I use. I top dress my plants with a dry nutrient mix then water in the tea.

Looks like some good stuff therefor your plants @hewhocoruptz! Do you produce your own worm castings?
I have a local source of bat guano. It’s there for the taking. Is bat guano too hot?

Don’t know to much about bat guano but if there like any other flying mammals there urine is excreted along with there waste so I assume it would be high in nitrogen and would be considered hot!

All guanos are gonna have different properties because of the diet of the mammal in question. But, i have a quick question. If one makes a guano tea, can i measure the ppm of said element in the water with my EC meter?

Not too sure on measuring ppm. Never done it before. If your source of guano is dry you may want to consider making a simple tea like the one I was doing with just castings and molasses and then top dress in your guano before you water with your tea. My understanding of teas is that you are brewing for the purpose of creating microbes, from there the microbes consume the not plant available nutrients in the soil and what comes out as their waste is plant available nutrients. Feel free to chime in and correct me here.

That makes a lot of sense if you ask me bro!

I do not source my own castings yet. Maybe somewhere down the line I’ll do my own, seems like it’d be pretry fun to do.

Never used a ec meter or measured anything in ppm never had to when organic , my microbes do all the adjustments for me sorry I can’t help on this one @MadScientist! The only electronic device I’v put in my pots was a moisture meter a few times !

The last Kis organics podcast on biochar was a good one! One ingredient I want to incorporate into my soil …, not sure if my homemade biochar is worthy yet!
