I agree. Will proly look at a defoliation after the first 2 week stretch.That's gonna be very tight

I hope you have a milder time with flu and heal up quickly. Those are beautiful of course.The rona is kicking my ass. Did get in and take a couple of pics. I am out of head room for the light in the living soil tent.

Thanks mate! I'll be glad when im over this. Shit sucks.I hope you have a milder time with flu and heal up quickly. Those are beautiful of course.
feel better!
This is so inspiring to me. I fell into living soil accidentally bla bla bla. Lots of learning curve happened after the soil was purchased…(the pots). I couldn’t justify a bed as a brand new grower. I’m in the earth boxes to be able to manage them. If all goes well and I learn and am successful, I’ll move to beds. After a couple/few runs. Not as much concern with size now because I’ve already decided to move to the basement. Beautiful!!(Bloom day 22) I got the trellis cage in for the Living soil bed. I suspsect that everything but the Jack will hold itself up. This should at least make the Kali47 not be so crowded. Will proly do one more leaf defoliation in here in a week. Nothing major.
Dimmed the lights and took some shots. Was noticing some dry tips going on so I got to poking around in the bed with the moisture meter and they were under the moisture level again.
Increased watering on the living soil bed to 8 min twice a day. that will add a additional gallon of water to each watering. Pushing 8% water to soil volume right now.
Hugel bed was looking fine. I will say that the wood is mostly spongy material now. I can push the moisture meter all the way through the bed in most spots.
I am not seeing a downside to the Hugel at this point. I'm actually to the point on this, that for starting a bed, this may be preferable. Across the board you see some of the best grow systems have a water table. This provides that in a organic setting. And its kind of a double win. First when your setting it up and saving money on the soil mix/nutrients. And then a year later when that wood has started to decompose and hold water.

I’m so glad I didn’t try to put the thing upstairs .Thanks for checking it out! If or when you go to beds, build a rolling platform for them. If you go 4x4 bed figure 1800 lbs weight capacity wheels 4-5". Bigger the wheel easier to move around.
What a beautiful set of incredibly encouraging pictures. Someday…(Bloom Day 29) Got the Living soil bed snaps yesterday. Got some mikrobs on the beds. Should be a easy cruise to finish.

Nice. We reuse our soil as well. Our current grow soil is about 3 years old. I love your bed. No till?
(Bloom day 48) Some of these are definatly going to run longer then others. However I think the entire Hugel bed is going to be done about the same time.
