I need some time. My tents are all full at the moment. I’m thinking around the first of the year.

Thats like the formula one of soil man. Were friday night open class around here!I think you’re all looking at this wrong. Since growing has too many variables, soil being just one, a “soil” contest should judge the soil - not how good your grow setup is. Everyone should make their soil, then send it in to the lab for testing. Isn’t that basically what BAS is touting with their Batch Soiling Testing? Just need to decide what the winning numbers should look like.

I’m hoping some of the people on here will chime in on rules. So far I’m thinking 10-15 gallon max any pot goes. Pre mixed soil is ok. 2 week bake. 4-6 week veg 1 amend at flip. Thinking starting the first of the year. What you think? I would like this to help show people how easy this can be.For sure, I'm just itchin for rules and regulations so I can craft my master plan
I have seriously been considering them watching build a soil a LOT lately and may pick up a earth box or a 20-30 gallon living soil potI love earthboxes. I have two in a 2x4. Easiest grow I have.
The one gallon challenge taught a lot of people about strain selection based off environmental constraintsHave everyone just use earth boxes. Even playing field, the other question is, will we all be running the same strain? Some stains are hungrier than others. Too gain an advantage, grab an easy going pheno.

I’ve been using the city picker pots. Mostly because I like the size. 2 fill the bottom of a 2x4 really good. The one gallon challenge has kicked my ass. Organic was not the way to go.The one gallon challenge taught a lot of people about strain selection based off environmental constraints
All good question. I would like this to really show what people soil mixes can do. I’m thinking we stay away from Teas. Also think maybe slowing 1 up size of pots. So if you start in a solo cup then into your final pot.Sounds like a good framework @Natep, now you need to drill down to the minutiae
Is the 1st of year when we start building soil or when we splash?
Only 1 dressing at flip, but what about teas? Compost tea, EWC tea, enzyme tea, etc. Are those allowed or are they considered amendments, and it is strictly water only?
Up potting. Is there a limit to the # of times you can up pot? You could almost game the system by doing consecutive up pots and infusing new soil throughout the grow.
I am sure there are many other details to iron out. Those are just some things I thought about.

I managed to get her to hang on, damn close to chop now, the one gallon really presents a challenge when ran organic but damn it was a blast I can’t believe it’s almost chop timeI’ve been using the city picker pots.

I like this right here : ) when I go to the feed store I always check out the dry bulk amendments and think it would be cool to make a mix but think to myself “thats scary”I would like this to help show people how easy this can be.
