Getting ready for my next grow, assembling the usual suspects. I've never grown in anything larger than a 10-gallon, was wondering if that's enough space for live worms? I want to try using a certain mushroom with a certain cannabis cultivar, and having worms in the mix for the added intelligence. If the worms speak to the earth, they must navigate mushroom politics all the time, so I figure if I recreate a disgusting shit-pile in the sunny corner of a swamp in the armpit of nowhere, as long as it has an absolutely sweet pH, I should be able to add egg shells to cool the soil as the worms work their magic.
The reason for this post is: I need ideas about functional, organic ways to cool such soil. I know it's different, but I've grown weed with worms before and, there's just something about what the roots get from it that effects the depth of the experience. Thing is, I'm done with flip-a-day indica (too stony for me), and I want to host a REAL ganja monster in the aforementioned 10-gal., but I don't know if I can keep the soil cool enough. You see, I've had phenos with this kind of Asian/African bitch drag on month after month (with a fantastic payoff that I wish I photographed). Can I keep the soil cool all that time? What would you do, if you wanted to grow with live worms? Advice is eagerly welcome, as I'd like to turn over a new leaf with my debut project.
I'm trying to get back to my roots in an oddly literal way, back to when strain names were a silly concept. We just called it Thai Stick, all of it, because it was all fruity (or footy) ganja that would blast your brain into alien dimensions. Help me slay it, folks. I want to do the plant proud, the way it prefers for its full expression. Seriously, if I can foster some new terps between mayonnaise, hash, and butter, I was getting rotten oil and eggs, believe it or not, from them back then, huge things, resinous and black. I'm six foot and these things, I couldn't reach the tops of them and would certainly get sticky trying. You can find images of what I'm talking about online, just google: " huge mango thai sativa " but it's not the Afghan-looking phenos, it's the ones further down with the black flowers. Here, let me:
No pic was correct. But like the (poor) example pic above, very much, in pheno. But solid black with some brownish-purple bits and big, pale flowers, and only pale because of the trichomes. I need that rotten oil and eggs smell back. The associated effect was the trippiest I've known, I'm kind of obsessed with finding it. And this time I will, and I'll be recording the whole thing!
Thanks for reading, warm regards. (Gets back to researching worms for indoor plants, how to manage them. Can't have anything going wrong, not for a solid six months. I might be seeking the sulfur reek, but I really don't want any egg on my face. First impressions, you know.) And hey, while we're at it, what type of supersoil works for you? I like straight pig shit, properly aged. Really hits the spot, and isn't unbearable in my indoor situation because the soil has carbon in it. I know, I'm a genius.
EDIT - I've never done worms inside or managed worms of my own before. I hear it's as easy as buying red wiggler live bait at Wal-Mart and dropping it in a tub of properly mixed shit. Will they manage themselves or overpopulate? So many questions.
