Plant of the Month: Second Place Winner
Hello everyone! through out the years of growing i picked up a couple cool trick to bump up your yield! I will be placing all my tips and trick here on this thread!!
Maximize Oxygen in your soil!
I've read so many books and magazines i'm like and human dictionary for cannabis!
this little trick i'm about to show you i picked up from "soma's book: Organic Marijuana, Soma Style" in the book he constructs a growing bed in a special fashion to maximize the oxygen in your soil! I'm going to show you how to create a smaller vision of this in buckets!!
Supplies needed:
-Hydro coral
-PVC piping
-Plastic chicken wire
-felt or rooting cloth
the buckets are set up in layers
-hyro coral
-plastic chicken wire
-felt
-soil
at the bottom you will place 5 cups of hydro coral. place 2 PVC pipes in two corners .25 inche into the hyro coral PVC pipes should come to the top of the bucket.
cut out notches in the chicken wire to make room for the PVC pipes and cut the chicken wire to fit into the bucket. place in the plastic chicken wire.
now cut out one sheet on felt same size as the plastic chicken wire and place on top of the chicken wire. this will keep the soil from dropping into the hydro coral but light enough for air to pass through.
finally place your soil into the bucket! the PVC pipes will come out from the soil so air can pass through them.
This menthod will insure maximum oxygen to the root zone, and it will keep a newbie from over watering! Air pass through the PVC pipes giving constent air flow from the top and bottom of your medium. as we all know cannabis loves water and oxygen, keep them happy with this bucket setup!!
