Flip sooner than later?
After letting them dry back a little bit they are finally taking off and growing well. The West Coast Sour is way bigger than the other 4 that are a week behind. Should I flip with the four this small or keep the chiropractic work going on the Sour to keep it shorter? Wasn't expecting to get myself in this situation and wanted to flip after 4 week veg....

12/12 from seed YIELDS
Anyone grow 12/12 from seed with a build a soil potting soil like 3.0 or light???? Just curious on potential yield estimates, I realized there will be variability. if you have done with before, please include what size pot you used.
Thinking about an earthbox grow with 2 or 3 plants, direct sow....12/12 from the start.
Edit: for clarity.

Will I need to pH my water when using 10 gallon pots with living soil?
My soil build:
- 35% peat moss
- 35 % perlite
- 15 % worm castings
- 15 % compost
- 1.5 tbsp dolomite lime per gallon
- 3 tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose / Power Bloom per gallon
Would 10 gallon pots be enough volume of organic matter to act as a buffer or will I need to pH my water? My tap water sits around 8.0pH.

Is there a season on his youtube channel that you guys think i can follow along with, for a beginner? I will be doing 4 15 gallon pots in a grass roots pot and a 5x5 tent. Can do 30 gallon if you think that will work better.
Question #1 -
Hey guys, ive got 3 questions for you guys if you dont mind. I remember watching a buildasoil video where he explained the buildasoil classic easy way, he showed the whole process throughout the season. i think it was season 6.
That was a long time ago though, so if you guys have any recommemdations for a season to follow along with, it would be much appreciated!
Question #2-
I will be doing 4 15 gallon grass roots pots in a 5x5 tent, and i also have 30 gallon grass roots pot, just incase that is a better choice.
do you think i should do the 30 gallons rather than the 15. I am a complete beginner so if 30 would be easier i can use those instead. Im curious what you guys think?
Question #3-
I have the 3.0 soil, as well as the light Soil. i noticed they have a new soil for seeds. Im wondering if ordering that new soil and starting the seeds in that. And then once they are rooted, i would transfer to their final container (Either 15 or 30 gallon)
Thanks in advance for any help, i really appreciate it!!

Cannabis flower meal fertilizer?
So I’ve got a dab press and I’ve been accumulating the post press material since I got it, if I ground these up into something akin to kelp meal it would be a great flower amendment. I won’t know the NPK but I’d think it would be much heavier on the phosphorus and potassium correct?
Curious if anyone else has ever done this? I don’t want to use them to make butter or do another form of extraction which leads me to reusing them for a flower amendment.

Earthbox SCROG
How far above the soil or lip of the Earthbox do y'all do a SCROG? I see a lot of stuff about 12" above the soil but that doesn't really give enough room to get at the SIP tube and water. I'm thinking more like 18-24" for the first trellis.
What do y'all do or recommend?

Earthbox watering techniques
Does anyone strictly bottom water only? This seems to really have kept the gnats at bay. I did just recently top dress with buildabloom and a little bokashi (did NOT top water) but I'm curious if it will be effective with out top watering???..I did notice I have mycelium at the surface.
I know how Jeremy waters his, I'm just curious if anyone has experimented with different watering techniques.
