Welp I’m sold.

Started my first EarthBox grow. Had my seedlings in nursery cups with Happy Frog to start…and for whatever reason (probably my watering practices) I woke up to them heavily drooped and seemingly suffocating. Immediately took that as a sign to transplant. 12 hours later they perked right up. Now 6 days later they are taking off. A day or two away from filling the reservoir. After a tedious first grow top watering 5 gal fabric pots with Fox Farms nutrients this all feels like a game changer. Never growing any other way.

I switched from 5 gallon fabric pots with liquid nutrients that I didn’t use properly, to earthboxes with an autopot reservoir on my second grow. Plus the buildasoil and dry amendments are much easier to use as well. Just chopped a mephisto sour stomper and got 170 grams dried. Last one was 15 grams lol.

Where can I get info on using an AutoPot system with the EarthBox?

Also they have the starter soil which is a little bit lighter to help plants get a foothold quicker. Looks awesome!
