I have thrown Worms in my outside garden last year,
when i tilled up the earth for my outside garden they were tons of worms ....never thought of throwing them in my indoor grows because i would think that they would eat my MJ roots ....Have u ever grown with worms in an actual live plant if so I just made my super soil last week and im gonna look into tossing some worms in it lol :dance:

worms don't eat plants or plant roots, you're beyond safe putting them near indoor or outdoor grows of any type of plant. they make the soil better by composting material in the soil. :tiphat:

Worms are what keep us all alive! They is EVERYWHERE! Worms are processing machines - and a couple in a soil grow will keep your soil biosphere much more capable of regulating our interventions - trust worms! Darwin understood the importance of worms. Always check what comes out of your buckets after the chop - if there isn't an earthworm or two something ain't right...

If you want to get scientific then get a microscope - there are myriads of types of worms. I have spent a long time looking after my vegetable growing soil and it is full of worms...

I'm working out how to breed nematode worms - they are even better - they will eat a lot of pests - but they are tiny, tiny little things...

All Hail the Worm!

How do I scale down this recipe to 2x 4 gallon pots?

Also, what is the desired PH of the soil after mixing everything up?

Sorry I'm new and have no idea how to post on here, I had recently tried my first grow and after germination (paper towel method) I planted them in soil on a 18/6 600 watt all my seeds apart from one dried up and turned to small twiggy things what did I do wrong?

Sounds like you baked them. I need to know more to help, like your entire setup including how close to the plants the light was and what kind of circulation fan you were running between the light and fan.
