Trying to dial my watering down better and kind of feel I would learn more going analog and having to actually go look at and touch the soil. Or is my mindset wrong because I have never use a digital meter? I got ac infinity controllers should I just bite the bullet and get their meter or go eco Witt? Just trying to not rely on ai and digital to learn the science better.

Hey, ich habe seit kurzem mit einem Beet angefangen im livingsoil zu grown. Ich habe jetzt ein Blumat Tropfsystem und dieses auch angeordnet allerdings bin ich mir nicht so sicher, ob das so optimal installiert ist. Ich bräuchte da dringend mal Rat von jemanden der Erfahrung hat.
Ich habe es so gut wie möglich versucht einzuzeichnen, das Beet hat 100x50x50
Grün ist Hauptleitung, Möhre sind Möhren, die Tropfen sind Verteilertropfer. Rot die Zwischenleitungen der Verteilertropfer. Die erste Zuleitung hat 4 tropfer, die anderen 2 Nur 3. Ist vllt nicht ganz sauber und zu 100 Prozent richtige eingezeichnet, ggf Ma 3/4 cm toleranz für meine schlechten zeichenkünste einrechnen 🤣
Geht das so oder ist das eher mies? Die KI meinte zu mir, dass ich durch Cover crop und Stroh wohl 20-25 cm Durchmesser im Schnitt bewässern kann pro tropfer.
Bin echt überfordert damit 😅 hat jemand Tipps? Oder ggf jemand Zeit und Lust mir ne gute Anordnung einzuzeichnen? Hab genug Möhren und tropfer parat.
I have about 500 roaches (not the bug) that I tossed into an empty fabric pot throughout the winter, is there any use for them? Could they be mixed into soil for aeration or composted or do they just need to be thrown out?
1st attempt at organic grow in my mini dream set up. I'll be running coots mix using BAS 3.0 nutes and minerals. Waiting on COWOCO worm castings to come in and I'll be mixing up my soil
What's your little tricks near the end of flower that helps get the flower to where you want it?
Do you drop dli to help finish? Add an amendment, slow watering etc?
I need to pull at week 10 from flip but that's not the only reason I've posted. Interested in what I could do better at this stage.
I've just gone from long term no till beds to 30ltr/8 gallon organic grows so will do a dryback at week 8 for tricks because I can. Any thoughts about how I could run this differently?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience,

This is the first run in this Clackasmas Coots mix, so I’m kinda confused on why there’s a deficiency. I ph the water in the 6.4 area but not exact every time. 750 ppfd, 80f 45-55%RH, I usually water when the bed feels lighter. I have been doing weekly compost tea applications, it fixed a nutrient cycling issue I had that was causing those older stems to be purple streaked.
When growing in Living Soil, the goal is not sterility, but rather biological balance. We avoid using chemicals that would kill our soil biology; instead, we rely on beneficial organisms.
Living Soil Edition
In a functioning ecosystem, a few critters are normal. Here is the strategy for dealing with the "bad guys":
Almost inevitable in moist, organic soil.
Strategy: Don't panic. Use nematodes (SF) or predatory mites (*Hypoaspis miles*). These live permanently in the soil and devour the larvae.
They can pupate in the soil, making them particularly persistent in a Living Soil environment.
Strategy: Introduce predatory mites (*Amblyseius cucumeris*) onto the leaves. Avoid neem drenches, as these can harm your beneficial soil microbes.
Strategy: Slightly increase humidity levels and release predatory mites (*Phytoseiulus persimilis*). These are specialized hunters and will disappear once their prey is gone.
Strategy: Lacewing larvae or ladybug larvae serve as your biological "special forces" here.
The greatest threat in Living Soil, as they feed covertly on the roots.
Strategy: Take preventive measures by utilizing beneficial fungi—such as *Beauveria bassiana*—and inoculating the soil with predatory mites (*Stratiolaelaps scimitus*).
> ⚠️ Important: If you spot something tiny, white, and quick-moving that jumps around on the soil surface when you water: These are most likely springtails. They are YOUR FRIENDS! They help decompose organic matter and keep the soil healthy.
Got this because I do not like herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and wanted a clover lawn. I googled it prior and it all looked good to go. Afterwards, googling nitrocoated and inoculated seemed to give different results? I have an indoor rabbit and I did not change my shoes when I walked inside. I also did wear gloves when spreading but I'm not positive just how anal I need to be around this seed? I just wanted something natural and safe and now I'm worried otherwise.
Rock dust for the win / it was well over do my worms needed some grit and my soil 🦠 biology needed some food
