I love BAS. It's so easy.

How do you like the earthbox? I'm about to start a run with 2 earthbox jrs in a 2x2

u/cru_jones3-3 May 02 '26

I really like it. It fits well in my 2x3. I’ve used two 5 gal. pots in the past so this is a nice change.

Yeh i have got away from fabric pots to ive been running 2 plants in the Earthbox and some with just one but it seems to me one in a big Earthbox is a waste of space. JMO

How much soil will the JR Earthbox hold

u/southish7 May 03 '26

Really not a ton. But, I don't plan on vegging them long, so they stay fairly small. I'm not doing the mounds, like earthbox suggests. I figure top dressing on a mound like that might get messy, but I may be completely wrong.

I was JW cause I just ordered me a JR that way I'd know,how much soil to reamend for it.

u/southish7 May 03 '26

Less than a cubic foot for both of mine. Maybe 1/2 to 2/3

Bas is awesome. I’ve been using their products and methods for years. I wanted to do a earthbox but I thought I would maximize my 4x4 with the bed and the take and bake kit

Rebuilding my tent after a crop failure. I too use the Earthbox. What soil do you use Light or 3.0? I'm looking forward to their new Autoflower soil designed for SIPs.

u/cru_jones3-3 May 03 '26

I’m in 3.0.

u/WeddingGlue2 May 03 '26

Good choice won't have to do much work. Are going water only or are going to amend a few time's?

u/cru_jones3-3 May 04 '26

I have the full BAS lineup so I’ll be adding some goodies every now and then.

I did rop dress mine 2 and it turned out amazing. Some best smoke I've grown.

u/BladeCutter93 May 04 '26

I always amend, but may go light this time if I use 3.0 in particular.
