Oh I bet. The local hydro store is actually a organic store. Carry BAS and everything. Those poor guys never saw me coming. They got quizzed and then educated. The organic guy there was using cover crop seed blend as living mulch and couldnt figure out why his plants looked like shit. Got him fixed up.
Yep, currently studying growing crops on mars.
I have the BAS seed blend I use for a cover crop. Also a different canna-specific blend I found. As far as chop-n-drop for mulch what is the issue? The variety of plants is supposed to provide a more diverse mix of soil goodies when decomposed.
Which explains why composting and worms is not even a small portion of his research.
My first rice hulls came from them through BAS. Super cheap. And they can get the stuff for me for a discount, but I'm usually just lazy and have BAS send it directly.

I actually answered why you use clover as a living mulch layer vs a seed blend here : http://chuckersparadise.com/threads/2021-mystery-pack-competition.2607/post-175980
Not sure the plan is to take animals there to shit all over mars.
I doubt cannabis is going to be a starter crop on Mars. How high are you right now?
I don't think any of us are high enough. Back in a few.
I dont use rice hulls. For a big ass bed they break down too fast imo. I love the fact that mine carries BAS.My first rice hulls came from them through BAS. Super cheap. And they can get the stuff for me for a discount, but I'm usually just lazy and have BAS send it directly.
Super lucky that I have this awesome shop just a few minutes away in my little mountain town.

Yes, that was the other blend I found. I mixed the two. Mainly the same seeds, different ratios.
*DING-DING-DING* - he is not concentrating on growing weed. I don't care hw much research he does on growing "things" He knows a whole fucking lot of stuff that I don't really care about for my purposes. Are there topics where he isn't super biased and helpful? Sure, I have seen him talking about other stuff on all the random youtube shit I watch.
LOL HAF. Well I mean he directs an entire department of researchers doing all kinds of things with crops. Not just growing on mars. thats just one lab. Hes got college courses on growing. He's proly not doing a lot of research himself anymore. Whats with this distrust of scientists?
Yeah - moisture level monitoring isn't really an issue. I think it actually lets me love on the plants a little more often without doing damage
I have been to college. 4yr degree. That means interacting with a variety of professors with a variety of degrees in all kinds of shit. There are lots of people of varying levels of life experience that carry a doctorate or three. Saying that because someone is a professor means they are right is so terribly unsound it's scary.
right but the cover crop seed with rob nutrients from your soil that your cannabis plants need. Clover, by itself will not. It pulls the major nutrient (Nitrogen) from the air. Not from the soil. However, all those other seeds will consume nutrients to grow.Yeah - moisture level monitoring isn't really an issue.

I water each pot about a quart every other day once they get going.
which are returned to the soil for re-consumption right?
I use it as a mulch.
In one statement you have disqualified the entire idea of documented education. LOL
No. They're using the nutrients whilst growing. Those plants are growing DEEP roots into your pots. so if you dont kill those plants then they will compete with the cannabis plant. This is why I say that if you use cover crop, to KILL it all. We want those roots broke down as well. Lots of nutrients there. But if your not killing em and letting grow in your pots... See where im going with this? Cover crops get killed. Clover gets mowed.
It will grow roots. Constantly. Clover roots are shallow mostly in the top 2-3 inches. Hairy Vetch will grow out the bottom of your pot.
My wife shaves her vetch. Or am I in the wrong thread again?
That's why I ordered White Dutch Clover from BAS. I've only experimented with house plants with it so far though.
