Hi everyone! I got a wild hair after reading some interesting and seemingly beneficial info on adding worms to your medical, organic cannabis plant soil. I got on Amazon and bought some. What do you prod think? They won't hurt my roots right? I'm under the impression they only eat dead plant material, the castings are amazing for it and the aeration is second to none? Thanks!!!!

no they wont hurt your roots at all they just want the dead unused stuff and help your soil be healthy. As well as your plants.
what size are your pots? Worms repopulate according to their space environment. Don't know how it would be in small pots. My guess maybe 10 gal pot will be minimal. Hopefully someone whose done trial and error or knows chimes in.
My pots are 5 gallons so hopefully it's still helpful thanks! It's my first grow so I'm still loving feedback! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
yeah idk for five gals. Note this is just a hypothesis since i aint to genius. The worms might leave the soil pots becaue the temp will fluctuate according to the rooms environment where as a bigger pot will hold its temperature better in the core of your soil. This is just my own thought i have no proof. You can start a vermicompost bin with thosr worms or just do trial and error. Sorry. Best advice i can give.
put em in, worst case the leave the pots, but i think some will stay. i would put them in at lights on since they dont like light and this will most likely encourage them to go right into the soil.
I ordered 250 so I'll use a few in each and sage the rest for the upcoming 20 gallon outdoor project Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Oh i should but Jesus I'm so spoiled with my larvae bin that's so easy to maintain. I should do a worm bin though your right! It's just more work with worms being more sensation to heat. Being almost vegetarian I have plenty of things for them to eat away from the larvae shares. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I have 3-4 bins going all the time. Collectively, they take about 5 minutes of maintenance a week, and this is just me adding food scraps and carbon. Probably the easiest most beneficial part of my grow.
looking good! personally i would trim any leaf that is touching the soil, but im probably just paranoid.
..they arrived and were so gross I could of not add them to my plants I just put them In a composted to start some castings..lol I'm ridiculous 28 days old Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I agree with that guy its a great idea i make ewc teas bt i have a few friends who have those lil guys in fresh rooted clones to big pretty ladys,bt if ur not feeding organic based food it might kill em when u water
I topped a few a bit more, took 6 healthy clones and am waiting for another 2 weeks then switching to flower . Equilibrium 🼠Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
