I think they’re the same, Wikipedia lists them both as nicknames for Eisenia fetida

Worm are funny when you’re high. they move and consume soil then poke one end out the soil and see how sunny it is and test the humidity. Heat or Rain they’re on guard for, so squirt them with water they skeediddle fast like they fled

When I was in college (back before they invented electricity), a friend taught me how to catch worms. They come out of the ground at night to mate on the top of the soil. You take a flashlight and shine it and when you see one you make sure not to shine the light directly in them or they’ll dive back underground quicker than you can imagine. Then you grab them and pull because they’re sure to have a bit still in the ground and you’ll be amazed at how strongly they can pull out of your hand, especially since they can be slippery. Once you practice up a bit, though, you can get a lot of them in a very short time. Usually around midnight is best. I’ll have to put the headlamp on and see if there are any around since it was pretty warm here today at 65 degrees. The wife will think I’m crazy. “Watcha doin’ out there?” “Catching earthworms.” “That’s nice. My sister warned me you were nuts.” “Yes dear.”

Get a bottle of PH UP, easy and organic.

actually, i have about 6 or 7 bottles of ph up and down. i use lemon juice. one little drip drop of lemon juice brings a gallon of aerated 7.2 ph water to 6.4. works great for me. and you can test that aerated water two weeks later, it’ll still be 6.4 ph. keeps them green and mean …LoL

I appreciate the advice. I don’t think coffee is very effective. I have some Espoma acidifier that I used in the garden to lower the pH for my blueberries, but I just don’t have a good understanding of it. I’ll see if the Espoma people have customer support and maybe discuss it with them. They make good products at Espoma. I grow a lot of vegetables and I swear by Bio-Tone.

From the Epsoma web site it is derived of sulphuric acid and gypsum. Sulphuric acid has a ph of 2.7. The gypsum is a binder so it doesn’t wash away with the first water or rain. That would make it between 100 to 1000 times more acidic than coffee. Ph scale is logarithmic so it’s x10 each point of ph scale. If the coffee around 4.8 doesn’t move your ph down at all I would suspect you have hard water (high kh). Does your coffee pot or shower head get a lot of lime scale build up.?
The beauty of coffee or juice is it’s hard to over do it. I would be careful using such a strong ph down on your cannabis. Nutrient lock out if dipped that low. At least be careful using it as a soil amendment. You would probably have better control using liquid sulphuric acid and ph your water and or nutrients first. VS adding the gypsum/sulphur mix to the soil.
I have a massive blueberry patch too, I know what you mean about the acid loving berries. Love to eat them.🫐
It looks like the biotone is a mycoboost. That stuff sounds great. And certified organic I would definitely add it to the cannabis too.

the longer u let your coffee seep in the grinds, the more acidic it will be.

This grow Ive added some grinds to my mix when I moved my seedlings to 2 gal pots. Last grow I used sulfur water and vinegar to reduce pH and I think they did good but the coffee smells much better. Will check the pH before I water next and see where it sits and adjust if needed.
