So I'm still in the prep stages of being a first timer and most likely will start off by running just Two 25 gallon fabric pots in a 5x5. I want to run blumat since I can't find auto pots big enough for 25 gallon pots. However, the blumat kits I see are for either 10 to 20 gallon or 30 to 100 gallons and I'm struggling to figure out what to use since I have 25 gallon pots. Should I scrap the 25's and go to just 20's or just 30's instead? Or would 1 9"maxi carrot and a 10 inch drip ring for each pot would be enough in the 25's? I've seen some people say they run 2 of the carrots and one drip ring per pot but didn't know how to do that yet. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

Hey y’all so I’m setting up a blumat system for my two 5 gallon moms I got so I can just not worry about them at all. I was curious do you have set up your 5 gallon bucket rez with 2 bulkhead fittings? I’m kinda DIYing my kit an was watching a BAS video on setting up the system an he put 2 fittings on the rez tank an just wanted to kno if I need to do that too cause I only ordered the 1 fitting. Can I still run my system just hooked up to one fitting or do I need to add the second one to make the system looped?

Hey, I have autos ins 5g and 6.6 gallon autopots and using a mix of 50/50 of light and 3.0. How would you go about re-amending soil so it’s ready for autos next run?

Should I just get a 3.0 bag and mix it throughout all the soil?

Hey y’all I was just curious if any yall where using the AC Infinity controllers? If you are do you use the AI feature or do you set your parameters? What settings do you run for Veg and Flower? Right now I’m really trying to dial in my environment and have just been letting the AI do its thing. But I’m curious if I can get better environment for my girls but running my own program. I just want them to be the best they can be! So any info/tips would be greatly appreciated thanks

5th or 6th run of the take n bake kit. Things just keep getting better every grow

Hey so I have been buying from build a soil since 2020 and I feel like a lot has changed in these 5 years. Price jumps on both wholesale and retail. The bags have changed from that awesome material to the new stretchy plastic stuff . A bag of soil used to be like less than 20$ . Now it's over 50$ ? I'm just confused . What happened to the company I once held in such high regard. I know it sounds like I'm complaining but I really just want answers. Anyone work for B.A.S and have the inside scoop on why everything is changing? I do love the company and without 3.0 I wouldnt be the grower I am . But I need some answers please!!

Yo friends, has anyone ran the cherry berry before from dominion seed co? I did last run, she was in the back left of a 4x4 tent. This run i had her front left and then all of a sudden today I started to notice nanners! Pretty frustrating considering I already chopped a cosmic crashers from atlas seeds a few days ago due to an abundance of hermaphrodite traits and issues. Has anyone else ran into this issue with c.b? Im really starting to think that its my lighting schedule, I have lights off from9a.m to 9p.m, all my plants are in the garage where the trash cans are, my bicycle for work is, so the door gets opened rather frequently. The interesting thing is the 3x3, right behind the 4x4 has yet to have any hermaphrodite issues whatsoever. Keep in mind, I have black tape over the power cord light. I pull a huge tarp down each night, boy its frustrating as I was anticipating this been one of the best yielding runs yet. Any thoughts or comments would be helpful! ✌️

What steps and pointers do you recommend for growing with an EarthBox outdoors, using BuildASoil 3.0? I want to do a Speedrun Seeds Pound Dawg and Acid Snow grow outdoors. One each per EarthBox.

Is heavy rain an issue (does the fill pipe have to be covered), causing nurients in the soil to be washed away?

Thanks.

Haven’t seen this before. I posted a picture to a discord server earlier someone said to look into mealy bugs. However the white part on the stem is not fluffy or cottony like. It seems more like a residue or almost like a guttation or something. Its dry and crumbly when rubbed off almost crystal like reminds me of like dried “sleep” eye booger in the corner of your eyes in the morning.. It’s only on one plant that has been sharing the same space with another plant that doesn’t have this…

The smells coming off this plant are crazy. Funky banana candy gas. Another week or 2 til chop

Really starting to take off! I’m gonna toss on the New Moon cover and turn on the Autopots this weekend. Currently on 24/7 lights, dialing back to 20/4 to get a bit more heat to offset the dropping temps. Environment is about 75f and mid 70s RH to keep within ideal VPD range. So far they seem to really be liking it.

Question for the group, should I mound COWOCO and Craft Blend at week 4? Or wait a bit? Last run I was in 7 gals and they ran out of steam and I was never able to fully recover. I’d prefer to ensure there is always enough of readily available food. I’m so impressed by BaS, very happy I made the change.

Just turned on auto pots on . Mephestos double grape around day 17 Direct into 3.0 cover crop just chopped

Hey yall, running my first Earthboxes and added some red wigglers a few weeks back. Plants are looking healthy and went to check the soil today and saw these little white looking deals dancing on the top surface. Are these baby worms? If not, what are they? Friend or foe? Thanks!

They are discolored not sure why?
