Agreed. Those ammonia cakes appear quickly. They are VERY heady.
I have had both buns inside since Sept. A lot of trays, pans, and daily cleaning.



Timothy hay takes two years to break down. It is a real pain.
I tried finished potting soil in the litter boxes. Works well, but the cats thought they should sneak the odd deuce in there. FML.

Any greenhouses in your area , Corpsey ?

This stuff would make ultimate chicken bedding.

Spent coco bricks. They give it away (quite literally) by the ton around here.

Seems like good mechanical structure to break down wet chicken drop. Would have to be more aerobic than a sheet of shite.

Spent coco would be perfect! Unfortunately I don't know many large greenhouses in my area, everyone just keeps getting pushed north or west as the property values rise around here. I may be following them at this rate though...

I'm gonna have my friends up north keep an eye out though. I have a 15,000GVW truck, I can take a ride...

Unload anything you want here, any time. And your quite right. Sometimes I consider the expenses associated with this hobby and wonder how much is too much.... and then I think about how much me and my friends and family would be spending at a dispensary otherwise and realize I'm still far, fat away from too much!

Rabbits may be in the future. But in the meantime it's just more chickens. Just need to figure out how to get their shit to compost faster. Too many wood shavings early on.... getting better. More straw now, it breaks down faster...

ematodes for the soil help too. They prey on the instar stage of the thrips in the\

Hypo Mites work well for larvae stage too...Thrips have a 21 day live cycle.

Kill them in the soil....Spray every 3 days for 21 to 28 days and use stickies....Blue ones are best for thrips. AND HANG THEM HIGH....the stickies catch flying thrips and they go right on the tops of leaves...put some high some low...count the thrips after day 1 and keep track of how they add on to the traps.

You can beat them back...OMG there are a billion thrips outside...its spring and they love to say hello this time of year and screw with your plants.

Just be unrelenting with your sprays. Wetting agent alone is enough to mess them up but you can make it a foliar feed with silica and aloe too :D

Im about a week i will release pyrtethien bombs...Time to eradicate.

Spinosad is a huge advantage in soil but if you see fliers then can lay their offspring into your leaves.

Sand and dicho earth for the tops of pots cant hurt.

Tonight before lights out all veg plants are getting JWA with karanja oil :D That stuff smells kind of nice.

That's a lot of pumping and refilling with those smaller ones. Something I did not enjoy doing. Although I've never tried the Rainmakers, I had clogging issues so frequently with other brands that I just started buying the cheap ass ones at Wally World as throw away, new one every 6 months to a year tops . . This what I've been using for at least 6+ months, if not a year, now

4gal backpack sprayer picked up at Harbor Freight with a super coupon for like $20...I love it! Have yet to experience any clogging issues or leaks. 5 pumps is all it typically takes and it'll spray for about a minute straight. And spray has a much better spread. So I could at least touch every plant at least once if not twice, depending on which tent and how many occupants, before having to pump again. If I fill up the whole 4 gals, I only need to fill up every other day, versus several times a day with the smaller ones, which is really nice.

G, just curious, where did you source your nematodes and which ones did you get? Like Idle likes to say, kick those bugs in their dicks! Give em hell brotha!!

Well I've introduced the nematodes and have been alternating sprays of spino and Plant Therapy. Barely seeing any adult thrips now and the traps seem to be picking up fewer. Definitely going to look into the hypo mites too though. I'm ready to be done with these suckers.

Dropped a couple of these tonight. Really don't have room but I've been trying to get my hands on a pack of these for a while and I have no patience... we'll figure it out.

I ran this strain as a tester - it is a true 55 day flower (or less), one of the fastest finishing plants I've ran in recent memory. The expressions were all similar, creamy, hashy, sweet, but lower yield in the 12/12 from seed method.
