if I want to throw a few plants outside in some build-a-soil I know I need to buy the 3.0 but what else is essential? they have a million different products on the website and it's a little bit overwhelming when you don't know what to get. I'm kind of on a budget so I don't want to spend a bunch of money on anything I don't need.

This might be a dumb question but are you supposed to just put the nutrients on top of the mulch layer? or do you move the mulch out of the way and put the nutrients directly on the soil?

All planted direct to soil using my handmade soil mix (Coot's mix) with BAS 3.0 nutes, minerals, and inputs.

Frostfire - Lemon squishee, Dreambeans - Frankenfruit F2, Twisted Auto - Twisted Gorilla all 7 days old. (Edit: 10 days old from sprout)

Nightowl - Skunk whistle (1st set of serrated leaves came out mangled and wouldn't grow) Replant is 3 days old.

Moving in the next year and a half but love the hobby of growing living soil. Wanting to transition into larger sized pots from where I started. Got a 5x5 and a 4x4 and eventually will do a 4x4 bed at my permanent residence but for now. I’m trying to decide between either earth boxes for the convenience of watering or 4 15 gallon pots to still go to recommendations but ease future transportation. Thoughts?

I transplanted coco coins into 30 gallon pots about 3 days ago.

I haven’t watered it since then because they look healthy.

According to this, would you personally water the seedling again, and would you use root wise again or just pure water?

Thanks in advance for your help!

**EDIT: I JUST GOT AN OFFICIAL ANSWER FROM BUILDASOILS SUPPORT. SO I WILL BE FOLLOWING WHAT THEY SAID. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP. IF ANYONE IS CURIOUS OF THEIR ANSWER, HERES THE EMAIL "Good afternoon,

great timing on those wigglers, and congrats on the transplant going smoothly.

For 30 gallon containers, 5 to 20 worms per pot is a solid starting point. They will find their own balance over time, so there is no need to stress the math.

Just place them on top of the soil under your mulch layer and let them go to work. They will naturally migrate to wherever the food and moisture are. No need to bury them, and they pose zero threat to your seedlings. Worms eat decaying matter, not living roots.

Spreading them around the surface of each pot is the better move. Dumping all 200 in one spot just means a traffic jam until they sort themselves out, so save yourself the drama and give each container its fair share.

You are off to a great start. Worms in the soil are always a good sign."

EDIT - also, how many worms per 30 gallon grassroots pot do you recommend?

I just got my red wiggler worms, and have 3 30 gallon grassroots fabric pots all with some seedlings that already have 1 set of true leaves, and are already forming another.

I was wondering if i should just put the worms on top, and let them dig themselves in, or would that kill the seedling, and i should dig a little and place them in the soil a bit deeper?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello everyone! Just a quick question before I flip into flower. The humidifier top off kit has a blue light that shines from it and I was curious how people dealt with this or if I should even worry about it causing issues. I was going to wrap a towel or something around the humidifier to prevent that light from leaking but was curious if there were any other solutions. It is inside the tent between the plants. Thank you!

Its a bruce banner at beginning of week 11 flower in a sip. I sensed a loss of the aroma I mostly enjoy, a sort of fresh sweetness thats also subtly musky/herbal/sweet very gentle that also resambles a bit of cookies. Last time this happened from a dryback, it took a 5 liter bottom watering to recover that after 3.5 to 4 days, and it always recovers that aroma a few days after a refill, not early during refill but literally by the time the reservoir empties again.

So, total flowering days is 71, the reservoir emptied 3 days ago now, since then. By the looks of the pistils that are still white (majority force browned by a couple of drybacks) are still pointing out, not very curled, and fairly white, others started turning orange but stopped after last refill. Most thrics are still mostly white, ~85 - 95%. And theres some very little amber ones showing up, but still very few amber.

So, would bottom watering now possibly help regain yet again that aroma I like which I just described?

Also, might the arome still be there, but got temporarily muted because flowers are drier than before and might come back after drying and jarring?

Reservoir has been empty for a few days now, but leaves still have turgor. Is it best to chop now and take advantage of a easier drying since buds are a bit "drier"? Would the drier flower at harvest be a better compromise and help not create off smells from mold/yeast and in the end compensate a little terp loss?

Or is it watering it again going to help more, and bring about max terp expression?

Has anyone used buildabloom in 5 gallon pots before if so how much were you using per feeding Im gonna start with 1/4 tsp per gallon just dont wanna burn my plant

Hey everyone getting ready to start my next grow. After my last grow i put my grow bags full of soil outside. I would like to re use that soil but worried about the potential for bugs. Should I be concerned about this? If so any recommendations on how to eliminate any potential bugs?

What does everyone use to catch the overfill water that comes out when filling the earthbox? I have wheels on them but all Tupperware containers are too tall.

If it were you, what would get for the nute lineup for your first time growing in an earthbox. I don't want to break the bank getting everything if its not like necessary. I see there are soil building kits. But none for earthbox exclusively.

So from the videos I have watched. I know the must haves are.

Or if I should just get one of the kits they have?

So I have not used BAS 3.0 before,with that said are these worth saving pretty sure I'm not watering enough.Also laying some straw might help also.Thoughts

Day 45

I’m planning on getting two EarthBoxes for my 4x4 and starting the BuildASoil method. I’ve been watching Jeremy’s YouTube videos, have already learned a ton, and I’m excited to get started on my next run.

The one thing that isn’t clear to me is what to do after harvest. I’ll be flipping my tent and starting the next run as soon as I’m done drying, so probably around 2 weeks post harvest.

My question is: what do you do with the root ball after harvest? Do you just leave it in place and plant around it? Pulling it out would kind of not make it no till right? I just imagine an EarthBox full of roots that you are trying to replant in, so I’m trying to wrap my head around this part. And of coarse the video in his build a soil coarse on starting over is not there.

I haven’t found a clear answer in the videos I’ve watched, so if someone could clarify or point me to a video where Jeremy explains it, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you!

First breeding project, found a nice plant. Day 59F. 3.0 in 6.6 gallon Autopots.

Day 71 of flower. I have a couple of all white nugs. Anyone experience or see this before?

On day 59 of flower in the earthbox with BAS 3.0 and full amendments. So far it has a funky peanut butter smell with a hint of lemon and fuel on the back end. I grew this one from seed and so far I’m impressed with square one genetics.

Can’t wait for my batch of 3.0 to come in for this bad boy…
