I can't believe you guys let this page topper sit here for so long!

I started getting a bucket ready for aact today, and I ordered that tea kit jedisushi was looking at. Also grabbed a case(450) of 3.25 inch square pots from greenhouse megastore.

Lol, opportunity missed.

You've got a lot going on in this glog already. Will be interesting to watch.

Walchit · Jan 31, 2019

Probably gonna buy these 3 T5 6 bulb lights off of Craigslist. Dude wants 50 a piece and when I asked if I could get a better deal if I grabbed 3 he was kind of a deushbag. So I really dont want to get them but its the best deal I can find right now

I was Bus....errr froze......I was busy being frozen last few days...Damn furnace was fookered since late Monday night and I LIERALLY just got it going in the past hour. For how long that remains to be seen.

I am off my game is what I was trying to say :violin:

Tea kit is super exciting ANNNNd by the look's of it you may need every last one of those pots the roll ur on atm Andy

Walchit · Jan 31, 2019

I'm excited about the tea kit too. I might make another smaller bucket to use at first cause I don't even give the plants a whole gallon when I water yet. And it says you can dilute it up to 10:1

Still keeping the garage at 80* Going to keep your tea in the garage?

Yeah, it hits 86 sometimes lol. 79 right now. Its pretty nice outside so I shut the heater off.

And yeah I'm gonna try a small batch of tea in here, hopefully it doesn't stink, because this garage is our living room now. It also sucks when I fall asleep in the chair and wake up hot af out here lol. I have one of those ventless gas heaters, and its a lot cheaper if I try to heat most of the house with it instead of the electric furnace. So that is the main reason its 80 out here.

I've used the dunks before, its the same but you have to crumble it yourself, lol.

Menards has these sticky traps that go on little stakes too, I would just rather avoid them.

Jedisushi posted a compost tea kit that I might go ahead and grab, it has an oz of mycos in it.

Here's what I'm working with this morning.

That's a crazy amount of starts there!

Walchit · Feb 3, 2019

I'm a little over halfway through filling up tray number 6. Ordered 30 extra pounds of worm castings, and a couple pounds of kelp meal for this tea. Hoping to have enough pods to sell a couple boxes this year. A late last frost would do wonders, or a mild July with a little rain lol. I have a few changes to make this year, hopefully I'm drowning in pods this year

violentglitter · Feb 4, 2019

Your list makes me feel my list in inadequate, and so therefore I need to ehm.... get more seeds, and go all out with the ones I have. :onfire:

Look forward to following!

Walchit · Feb 4, 2019

Its so hard to choose, I just keep starting stuff. You know... Just in case some of the others dont sprout lol.

I got my compost tea kit today, I might make a post to see if anyone has a good recipe for young plants.

PaulG · Feb 4, 2019

I feel your pain, Andy! Whenever I do that,
all the first round finally germinate, then I
have too many!

Walchit · Feb 4, 2019

I will have at least a tray of extras so I will only pot up 360 of the best / my most anticipated plants. Then the leftovers can hang out by the growdown plants, maybe see if I can sell a couple on Craigslist or something

I haven't been able to justify buying mykos yet, that stuff is priced for growing weed lol.

I sterilized my soil, so I was thinking about getting some, the nursery leaves their bags outside and they have fungus gnat larvae in them usually.

But I might try using peroxide to wet my paper towels on the Annuums

Just bought a bag of Ocean Floor the other night.. Caught a fungus gnat the same evening, buzzing around the fluorotubes.
Coincidence? :think:

Walchit · Feb 5, 2019

Probably not, get some sticky traps, Menards here has the ones on a little stake you can put right in the pot.

I had fungus gnats once and I wasn't seeing any damage so I didn't bother them. Then a couple plants flopped over.

Right below the soil the stem was hourglass shaped where the larvae had been eating it. It only affected one cultivar, but after that I watered with BT a few times and put out traps and that got rid of them, slowly but surely

Massive strain list!! Will be following this glog!

Walchit · Feb 7, 2019

A majority of them have sprouted. Still waiting on some of the ones I started later, and there was a couple losses in the pill things. The variegated goatsweed x sprouted then dried in there and I don't think I had more seeds

Hot up everything with a little compost tea last night. Pots are supposed to be here today, probably wait a week or so before I pot up. Then maybe start some Annuums and tomatoes.

I still need to get 2 more lights,I might build 2 more of these led shop lights if it seems like they are working better than the T8. Either that or use the 3 bulb T8's that I use to light the garage, and replace them with some led shop lights. That would probably be my cheapest option. But I'm worried it wont be enough.

Here what I have going on so far
