New digs. New possibilities.

[Harry bootlace]

See that sounds good.

Have rainwater also, 7 tanks.

New place sounds awesome mate. Keen to see an outside grow come spring!

Living soil pots on dolleys with Blumats. Hands off, no feeding, no reservoir if done off mains tap.

Yeah if I had that space I would be doing this.
The big 3x3’ living soil beds, on a pallet dolly.
And not just cannabis. If you only wanted a few plants then grow other stuff in that room too.
Strawberries, carrots, etc. things that you eat and it’s the wrong season outside.

Start small HB and take it slow and steady

If it was me I'd still put tents in and use as a lung room for now maybe.
Just a thought cobber

Good luck man you will get the hang of it you have plenty support here.

Would you not run a risk of pests if put veges with weed ?

Yes and no

If you start building up a companion crop with herbs that deter pests it can help.

Just putting strawberries next to weed (especially if you bought seedlings from Bunnings and don’t wash them and repot them) will just attract mites and crap. But if you also incorporate dill, coriander etc to deter them it can work well.
Things like chamomile is said to actually help the terpenes of weed so planting some of that around can benefit.

If you were to go the whole living soil option then maximise it with other plants that can help.

Thanks man that makes sense
Cheers for the info bro

If you go the living soil route, the goal is to recreate nature with organisms that prevent pests and pathogens. We use beneficial fungi and bacteria to crowd out the bad ones, nematodes and beneficial bugs to eat the pests.

Too many big words

I struggled with living soil bro,just can't get the hang of it for some reason.

Coir and perlite is a lot easier for me indoors
just EC feeding is so much easier for me.

Not much of a challenge in hydro I know....

Oh I disagree. You have to be onto it all they time in hydro, lots of respect for that work.

Yeah I think some peoples brains are more suited to one or the other.

I know I’d be useless at hydro.

Thanks everyone.
