That's the hope! I just think from a plant's perspective...it will work with that.Its also part of what I like about your lasgna method. It ands another method of plant choice, when the plants are ready for more nutrition they choose to push roots into that extra rich bottom layer.
I think it's both. The plant gives way less of a crap about where "it" begins and ends or what constitutes "it" as an identity. That's its superpower.Now, wouldn't we think that's more so microbial modulation as opposed to plant command/response?
I feel like the roots might be the dummies in the symbiosis because they're simply just searching for something, whereas the microbes are dependent on the health of those roots and have the ability to transform and manipulate a rhizosphere with a much greater reach and with much greater impact than the roots themselves can accomplish.
I mean... it's symbiosis, so there's plenty of signaling from both sides... I just think plants cultivating their rhizosphere as they please might be the reverse observation, and it's more likely the action of the microbes cultivating the rhizosphere to support their host. They have all these resources that they can allocate or restrict based on micro-impulses from the plant.. the plant just says, "ahh!! gimmie stuff!!"
Maybe I'm just getting too much into the head of microbes...
4x8 is huge! In terms of figuring out lighting, i would think of it as two 4x4s next to each other I guess. You know budget better than me.Ok guys I need help. These little purple bugs keep on appearing on my plants.
Not really. But that would be cool. Ok seriously the spousal unit stunned the shit out of me today. I should buy a grow tent she says. I'm like oh yeah? Wtf is wrong with my closets??? And then she proceeds to tell me I'm running out of space.
Ok seriously. Wtf?! Wait wait! Aaaaaaaaaaaand when my Bog order showed up... she smiled. Wth wtf wtf.
So I explained to her that lights and stuff and I've never even thought about buying a tent.
And she picked out a 4 x 8ft one by Vivosun.
So lady and gents... I have that very rare opportunity to get whatever I want. Trouble is... I dont know what I want. Because I LIKE MY FUCKING CLOSETS lol! It's all I've ever known inside.
So help. Give me your dream builds for soil. I dont wanna go back to hydro. Then I'll have to take ANOTHER year to re learn all of the new shit AGAIN because God knows theres going to be 50 million nute, media, and hardware options and seriously fuck that (with all fondness amd respect)
Builds. Go. Help!

For exhaust i would look at AC Infinity systems for tents generally. I know I like mine. The controller setup is quite slick.
For growing in soil i would look into building a system to keep pots above their runoff. Benches or whatever i really don't know.
But honestly I'm out of my depth here.

Funny yrs ago an Indian fellow in NM was telling a sick friend of mine to only smoke from certain type of stone an that it heats the flower up at the perfect temp. I couldn't remember the type of stone maybe bone it was like 25 yrs ago.One thing I have been thinking about and thought I'd put here is how to smoke weed. I know that sounds dumb, but I recently think I got better at it because I was being dumb before and thought I'd share.

So basically I now consume like in the pic above. That's a cured piece of a bud pulled off the stem. It's not torn up or ground in my grinder (even cleaned).
The result is I can taste the terps A LOT more.
Before I was grinding stuff when I smoked it. Even good stuff. And if I did it by hand, I'd try to get it ground up so it would burn even.
Well good pot burns even. Even my first grow stuff burns even now. And I have been trying to handle it very carefully to preserve terps only to break some of those bonds at the last moment.
With those bonds not broken, my pot tastes better!
I'm sure most people know this and I was just being blind and dumb, but I thought i'd throw it out there as a log of when I got smarter about this.
A bench of stones to warm up each at a diff temp for different herbs mmmmmmmmFunny yrs ago an Indian fellow in NM was telling a sick friend of mine to only smoke from certain type of stone an that it heats the flower up at the perfect temp.

Not claiming this is the best setup but I still wanted to share what I am dreaming about since you asked. Haven’t tried all these components or ideas, many of them have just caught my eye.
4 x 8 tray on a table draining into a res, ideally float activated sump pump in the res that pumps the runoff outside to a fruit tree.
2 Custom diy strip leds or hlg scorpion diablos, also very curious about the hortilux ceramic hps and the hortilux double ended ceramic hps.
Drip irrigation off of 55 gal res, a faucet very close the res.
Dream wise for lights i would go gavitas i think. The other one that has my eye is a shop out of NY called Mammoth Lighting.With all respect, that sounds like my flood and drain set up from 1997. Lights and all. Dual type lights (HPS/MH combos) were all the rage back then at 1200.00+. Damned things were so expensive and hot that we used to send them down the line with these light movers that conked out every now and then and burned holes in the canopy from staying in one position too long. Appreciate your input though. I'm sticking with dirt and LEDs.
I was thinking about Gavitas or believe it or not ViparSpectra XS series with Meanwell drivers and 301B LEDs.
A programmable auto watering sys would be nice. I think Burnzy runs one of those. I like Milsons fan/filter brand. Beyond that I dont think there is much to do besides some clip on fans. Never been into the C02 thing.

I really really like having UV in the bars. A guy named @Pondracer runs Mammoth lights or at least did.
