Hi Magnus, Glad to see you! Just in time too. I have a Nextlight Core coming tomorrow for the 3 x 3 tent that's in service now with some autos, soon to be filled with Godfather OG photos. So relax and feel free here. Welcome!
Never having tasted a cheese I can't say. It was very tasty, hard to describe it's been a year or something.and this is Cheesy sativa?! One of my favorites, maybe need to get this strain...! Hope that combo will make a hit for you, probably never will taste that stankberry you'all talk about... under that Baltic sea stone, remember...
When I mix I have a little person in my head asking how I'm going to get this done easier one day. This barrel technique sounds inviting! Especially on days like today when I notice I forgot to add one amendment and have to dump it all out and mix it again! Can't wait to see it.

That was the vision I had. A friend had a store bought one with a metal frame very much like this one. I should have grabbed it before he moved last fall. This one looks right.
something like this might be even easier to set up.... hmmm
Care to share the recipe? It seems a bit of a waste always throwing out the soil and perlite, thus I'm interested in reuse.
Recharge and various tea recipes are just part of the magic... next, you have to have the various minerals in there that will be needed all through the next grow, and to be the food that the microbes in the Recharge and Teas can bite on and there are several well known soil recipes out there. The last bit of magic is time... you have to allow several months for the soil to "cook" and for the microbes to render down those raw nutrients into a form that can feed the plants without burning them up. Once you have done this though, you are golden, and that soil can be reused over and over again, and what SO and I are trying to do is have part of our soil working and part cooking, all the time. I am constantly adding back teas, leaf debris and other things to my composting soil while the other half is in the garden working, and instead of totes or large trash bins to store it all in, a rotating barrel seems to be what is needed, although if someone gave me a big cement mixer, I would probably use it.
Maybe I can hook a little motor to my barrel and automatically rotate it every few days.
Hope you and yours are healthy and happy. Its been very windy here for the past week or so but the greenhouses are doing their job. I dug new holes and used new soil for the past two years. Makes sense to reuse it. I got one of these electrical contraptions, it'll probably mix about 1/3 to 1/2 a drum at a time. I've thought about composting but it's so dry here and all my yard waste is mostly weeds. Can you compost dry grassy weeds in this type of climate? Stay safe and stay stoned
Hi sig, thanks, I was considering that for down the road.
Sure. This is a recipe from True Living Organlcs by The Rev. He changed the coir to peat moss in a newer edition of the book from what I've gathered. He says some coir now is ok i think but if you go with this recipe you should get the book. I knew nothing about this type grow and the book (and others here) got me growing great plants first try. The recipe is tripled from his original and makes about 60 gallons.
I just pray Ms Otter stays upstairs until I get it all cleaned up! Nothing to see hereLove that pic from your laundry room Otter!
When I mix in the summerhouse I use a cement mixer, works great!
