Worms in pot.
Agricola_Borealisstarted grow question 3 years ago
Worms in pots. About a week after germination I have introduced about a dozen earthworms in the 10 liter bucket where my plant is growing. I read a lot about worm poo, but never I seen someone introducing worms in the pots where their plants grow. Anyone any experience? Why not?

I have tons of worms in my pots. Just provide them with food ( brown / green ) and youll have your own poop but better, Bacteria will move through your pot on the back of the worm. They will help keep an more even biological envirement in your pot. Also the bigger the pot the better.
But to really benefit from wormhumus you should really use worms to compost organic matter like fruit and veggies for a more heavily nutrition ratio.
I would advide to use straw/cacao shells (brown) and your cutted weedleafs (green) on top of the pot to prevent the pot from drying out, to provide food for the worms/bacteria/fungi.
Worms are key in organic grow!!

I always add earthworms to my containers and have been doing so for close to 40 years.
After harvest and checking the root systems, I always find more earthworms than what I put in, leading me to conclude that they breed in the pots, so whatever I am doing, the worms must like it!
I would have to conclude that it is a great idea.

Just care because they don't like Light, hot climate, excessive water (they go up when it's too damp) etc.
If you google it you may find a lot of tutorials on how to do it.

Worms eat decaying organic matter and are good for the soil. They do the same thing as fungi in the soil for the most part.
When growing indoors the pots are so bound I don't know if worms would be able to get into the medium between all the roots and help aerate it.
Can always try and see how it works, If you use mineral salts to feed your plants I also think this would upset/kill them or if your water is PH'd to low.
I'm more of a mycelium guy indoors and worms outdoors in earth vs containers.
Good Luck!

I would like to add to my question if anyone had ever come to the idea to introduce earthworms into the pots where they grow their weed, is that I have very good exerience with my tomato growth in pots in the gutter outside my window of my students room in 1992. So now I have introduced worms in the nursing pot to convert cow poo into worm poo right where my plant is growing.

Hope this is ok to post, looking at having a go at hydro on my next grow mainly to cut down on maintenance. What are people’s thoughts on the two systems one is stranded bubble the other one has a dripper I’m guessing will help at beginning of the grow. Thoughts please 🤙

Promix users - High runoff PPM out of the bag?For those who use promix, I'm wondering if you've noticed high outflow PPM from fresh promix? I'm using promix HPCC.
My inflow was 300
My outflow was nearly 2000
I calibrated my bluelab pen to ensure accuracy.
All numbers are on the PPM500 scale.4 years ago
