Growing and going full tilt No Till

Paracelsus

New member
So I made my home at GWE about three months ago early in December and I have yet to plant even one seed. I/O it all to them, everything I’ve learned along the way is just because of the tutorials written by Nebula and Sirius and the Excellent distribution system they have put in place to disseminate the most important facts in a clear and complete manner giving growers of all budgets and skills choices to make along the way to a grow that best suits their environment.

I’ve made up my mind how I was going to proceed a half a dozen times and changed my mind in so many ways since I first arrived. That I have learned patience in choosing methods and a Style that is true to my values I must thank Nebula and Sirius

They have given me the knowledge to be able to discriminate between different methods and styles with confidence that I do understand the particulars Of each methodology.

As the title of this long-winded Post states
I am going fulltilt No Till, This means a lot of things it means everything will be organic I will not be using bottled fertilizers or additives. Everything that will be used as compost, mulch, Pest management, feeding, folkier spraying, Amending will be organic. It also means I will be using The best genetics I can afford, I have chosen Ocean Grown seeds which are true breed and not feminized. I actually want to get some male plants and grow them out and pick some of the best pheno’s I can get. I will be pairing them off with females of the best phenotypes I can find in my grow.

Perhaps the greatest lesson I’ve learned here is patience and to feed the soil not the plant. I want to recycle everything in my garden including the water that I use. I want to use the most efficient lighting for yield as well as for the environment but I also want to make sure my cost of investment doesn’t outstrip my return. These are all valuable lessons that have been imparted me here at GWE.

More info to come soon this may even turn into s grow journal

Hello Paracelsus, it's about time my friend, I've been waiting for this ,an I know you have too, well good luck with your endeavor.
ps- I might grow an autoflower or two in the winter, but my growing is outdoors, just like your talking about, using no nutrients, except for maybe a few dead rotting fish in the bottom of the whole, your plants don't turn out real pretty, from being in the outdoors, but them outdoor buds , sure as hell smoke and do the job much better, than them indoor buds, I can promise you.
GoodLuck Paracelsus, I'm sure your gonna do fine.
 
Actually it will be an indoor grow I just lost the whole post explaining everything trying to post pictures let me start again

As the seedlings grow and turn into vegetative stage I will be accumulatively creating new indoor grow spaces to create a perpetual indoor no till grow.

Rather than wait for everything to become perfect I am going to begin the grow as my funds accumulate I will add to the grow in stages of growth.

As the first grow moves into the late vegetative state I will be replacing it with a second grow for training etc. etc.
By the end of vegative my flower room should be complete.

Before harvest I will pick my favorite clones saving a month from growing from seed. After harvest 15 pound smart pots will be emptied into a 400 smart pot with a sub irrigation system for recycling into my home grow and further cultivation. This will allow me to maintain a working garden and medicine cabinet.

City water through a R/O filter. I haven’t sourced the actual one I want yet, it has to be one that doesn’t have impeded Flow yet doesn’t create a lot of waste since I’m going to be recycling it in a community garden a few blocks away and up the hill. I believe the Herbin farmer is using water straight out of the tap after he lets it sit now.

This video the first part in this series on no till gardening happens to be made by the breeder of my seeds strain He uses the name Vader. Ocean Grown is his company. He is a really good videographer. He has his own different unique style to shooting and telling the story. He also has the perspective of a breeder which is interesting.

Lots of luck and fun with your grow Paracelsus! I've tried several things over the past 3 grows and have settled on autos, Kind Soil, and fiber pots. I don't want to be a slave to my grow. I enjoy working it, but all the nutrients and things that are necessary with regular soil is just too much. I want a stress free grow and this is the best for me. I guess we all have our own way. I don't want to do hydro, or dwc, seems like too much work. I haven't checked out the link yet, sorry, my attention span is super short nowadays.
I add to my supplies as I can afford it, and am just about where I want to be. I want to add some solar but can't afford it right now, but one day....
Keep working toward that desired grow and you'll get there and you can share each and every milestone with us!

Viva la difference! Funny your naming the reasons I chose no til LOL. Really no more bottles, no more changing the formula when you go from growth cycle seed to veg ph up down up down, measuring ml this and cup that watch out you don’t get lock out and root rot. I’m going to feed the soil not the plant.
Herbin Farmer got it growing on.

Yes, I'm content to use super soil and just ph water when I start to run low, the girls are wanting more to drink lately so it's more often. But I don't have to change water, adjust light schedules, measure a plethora of nutrients and worry whether or not I have some sort of deficiency. It's plant, water, and grow! When I harvest, I will take the soil to my flower garden and use it there. Our soil is so bad that I don't trust growing anything edible, and I don't want to grow in pots outside, even though I'd love to have a community garden, but I have lazy neighbors and they would let me do all the work and then help themselves to my harvest, if there's anything left after the deer, squirrels, birds and other critters that live in my yard have their pick.
