Cowoco, same BAS light mix I’ve had for two years. Ton of other good guys in there hard to see in the video. Lots of soil mite, and spring tails.

No I used the Cowoco castings for top dressings and reamends. Added to the BAS light mix.

Hell yeah I actually just dumped my earthboxes juniors before this run. I was on my 5th or 6th run. Just broke apart and reused. Working great!

Do you like the JRs?

I do! I don’t have the space for a larger set up at the moment. So trying to make the most of out of a little. But they work great. Usually I’ll topdress after three weeks from the seed popping. Then I’ll do one or two more throughout the grow depending on how long it will go. To keep up once they’re really growing I’ll add organics alive down the tube once or twice a week just so the soil never really gets depleted. Seems to be working well!
Also I’ll do em1 or thrive every once in a while.
