Worm castings working good? I was thinking of getting a pound of red worms to get some poop goin
Yeah so far although I’m using it in conjunction with the big bloom so I’m not sure if it’s one or the other or both… But it’s working whatever it is lol…and you just have to be careful what you feed the worms what you put in ya get out ya know 
Cool. Hoping to get a pound next week. $22 Working on bins plans now - well drill holes in a tote. I don’t have much to do so I plan lol. Need bin to be kinda light in case I have to move it indoors

That would be super cool to see as I am kinda growing organic at this point lol… I started off organic and then I was like Ehhh I need as much as possible and I already spent the money on the fox farm nutes
Ff nutes are organic aren’t they? Yeah worms sounded fun- give me something to do. Sounds pretty easy and can get started for 30 bucks. Maybe I can start selling some castings
You should do a thread on starting a worm farm. Think it would be an interesting read. I’m considering as well, I get so many that volunteer to move in around my compost pile, thought I’d start collecting them. Lol

I’m not sure about the grow big but the big bloom says it’s organic right in the front and the grow big and tiger bloom don’t…
OK guys check it… I am mainlining the sativa pheno…
I’m super excited…I figured the veg was lasting longer than expected already why the hell not… I might even get the chance to grow this one outside if the area I scout out its stealth enough… And here is the other strawberry kush… I’m not mainlining this one…
And here is the white widowalso not being mainlined

Update… Had some DE on the way already and what do you know I needed it… Here are some pics I had some type of bug/mite/aphid/ or something good it’s gone now
DE’s not going to take care of spider mites

I got the neem oil and sprayed while the lights were on before I read that wasn’t a good idea… Washed off with distilled water and I plan on spraying again tonight when the lights are about to go out…good or bad idea? Should I wait the three days??
I also bought the insecticidal soap…
@Bobbyb Enjoying following your grow man. Im a new grower and read these journals for knowledge and to get an idea jow mine should be growing Since im following along i like to know how old the plants are as you update so i can guage the progress in development comparing the old pic to the new one and also to try to see how the nutes are making changes in the plant…That would help me follow along. Also are these strains both Autos? Whats the benefit of mainline? Also a suggestion, i dont have metal in my neck but that !@#$er hurts like i should and i hate bending to the ground but i put a table in my grow room and put the grow pots on top,putting my plants at a comfortable nonbending reacheable level. That may benefit u if u have the height still available to taise yours lights for the full grow. Im working on making a table that i can lower as the plants grow so they stay at a comfortable level to work on. Its not an easy thought process making it safe so they dont crash when you lower it and also important, keeping it inexpensive. Thrown out a couple ideas already

Thanks @4play I’m happy to hear that… I’m also a newer grower with I would like to think a good bit of knowledge and I’m working on the know how as we speak… But I have one really shitty grow under my belt… Hopefully I made all my mistakes on that one lol…none of these are auto all photo… I think there all just about at three weeks to a month old… Sorry I don’t have an exact… I really don’t pay any attention to grow times… Everything and everybody is different…I will veg for a bit longer and flip the switch… Mainlining or manifold is highly attractive because as the buds form they are all the same distance from the roots so they all get the same nutes… Light… Ect. In a normal mainline I would top the four new shoots to make it a 8 way but I don’t have the space so I’m just doing 4 way… I did attempt at making a homemade table but it really didn’t look all that safe so I scratched that idea for this grow… Maybe next one for now I’ll just smoke a little extra to deal with the pain …I’m about to go take some pictures and mostly likely water/feed at least one of them

Update… So I’m kinda screwed unless I act fast on this girl only problem is I’m beyond broke at this point and I need another pot and more dirt…question for you guys is… If I make more soil… Do I have to let it cook for a little bit or can I transfer right into it… She has roots coming out of the bottom and are starting to brown and rot…leaves are twisting…ughhh headaches never stop… I can’t wait till I get dialed in…
that’s the Indica pheno strawberry kush… Here’s the other two I sprayed all three with neem oil, insecticidal soap and treated with DE as well hopefully the mites or whatever was eating my leaves dies a painful death… Don’t touch my shit!!!
Have any fabric reusable shopping bags setting around? They make a good temporary pot in a pinch.

Damn… Genius I wish I had thought about that hours ago lol
I went and bought some more soil and perlite but they didn’t have the same soil I bought before so I had to buy some other stuff… Ph was a little closer to 6 then I would like but it was all I had to work with… I mixed in a little bit of blood meal… Bat guano…and tomato tone…at this point I added less blood meal and more tomato tone and bat guano

@Paranorman @ktreez420 do you guys think this is still a mite problem and then something else or just something else or one or the other I’m really lost and could use some help asap please!!!
it’s on my white widow… Last I checked Ph was good… Around 6.7 or so… I have a crappy rapitest Ph thing… Add soil water and capsule thing… Can’t really be exact… But really am lost here and it seems to be slowly Spreading to the one strawberry kush… In one spot on a fan leaf
I just sprayed neem oil again last night before lights out… And it seams to be worse over night…
Fed and watered them all with 5 ml of grow big… 10ml of big bloom per…1tbs of gypsum per one gallon… Ph of water going in was around 6.2 coming out was it looked like a little lower then six…this is the white widow…BTW lol is that a issue??
