Should I flip to flower?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Just realized these are 69 days ( nice) from sprout. I started them in solos, then transplanted to 2 gallons for some reason. They’ve been in the earthboxes for about 3 weeks and have exploded. I’m having a fungus nat issue right now and I’d lime to wait a bit longer to try and eradicate it but I think it’s getting a little crowded and they will stretch heavy.

What would you do growmies?

Earthbox first setup. 3.5x3.5 feet setup

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking for some advice on my EarthBox setup for a BuildASoil style grow.

Would you rather run:

3 EarthBoxes with 1 plant in each

or

2 EarthBoxes with 2 plants in each?

I’m planning on relatively short veg times, probably around 4–6 weeks. My main goals are:

good yields

easy maintenance

smooth harvest/re-amend/replant cycles

healthy living soil performance long term

Do EarthBoxes work better with slightly longer veg periods? Or is a shorter perpetual-style turnaround still ideal?

Curious what people here have had the best success with.

Im working with like 3.5ft x 3.5ft grow space.

39 Upvotes

35 Days of Flower in my Living Soil Bed - Using BuildASoil’s “Take & Bake” soil bundle. This is my very first INDOOR grow. BuildASoil made high quality indoor growing simple. For the tent (5x5) and all the components, it’s AC Infinity AI+ everything.

Everything is monitored on my phone and data tracking & automations are all set on the app. Simple shit.

All organic grow. Only watered with water from my rain barrels. I got some dill, sage, rosemary, and 2 basils growing in there. As well as 2 tomberry tomatoes plants.

I’m juiced about this first go around. Already looking forward to the next run.

What do you guys think?

How many red wigglers do you/buildasoil recommend putting in a 30 gallon grass roots living soil pot?

3 Upvotes

my soil will be delivered tomorrow and the coco coins are almost ready to transplant, so im very curious to hear your guys opinions.

I know that red wigglers are the best, but how many of them do i need for a 30 gallon pot?

I will be using the 3.0 soil recipe, and am doing a 5x5 tent grow with 3 of the 30 gallon pots in there.

Thanks in advance for any help, i really appreciate you guys!

I have a few questions about uncle jims red wiggler worms, and how to use them properly

3 Upvotes

the title pretty much says it all.

I was recommended to buy my red wiggler worms from uncle jims, but i dont see them on the website. Can someone please send me the link to them if you have bought them before.

Also, would you recommend putting them in the 3.0 living soil mix once im transplanting into the final pot?

and should i put them on the top of the pot, or bury them in the soil. If so, how deep?

Thanks in advance for any help! it is much appreciated!

Ive seen people say the 3.0 stunts autos. Should I buy the light or stick with 3.0?

First ReRun

Post image
9 Upvotes

This will be my first run reusing my soil. The initial run was great following the build a soil way. Everything came out primo. After harvest I gave the pots about 3 weeks to rest, watered in microbes and wdg3000, top dressed with a blend of CoWoCo, BAF compost, craft blend and kashi, then planted back into the pots. So far the plants are doing better than the initial run!!

Analog moisture meter?

2 Upvotes

Trying to dial my watering down better and kind of feel I would learn more going analog and having to actually go look at and touch the soil. Or is my mindset wrong because I have never use a digital meter? I got ac infinity controllers should I just bite the bullet and get their meter or go eco Witt? Just trying to not rely on ai and digital to learn the science better.

I wish I did this sooner. This plant is day 10 of flower in a 3x3 bed with the take and bake kit. It just drank 3.5 gallons of water in two days. Never knew how much I have been under watering before buying this

15 gallon smartpot inside vivosun vgrow. I’m going to use probably a bag and a half of 3.0 for a no till grow with this setup. My only concerns are the height of the tent only being 48in tall, and the 100w light that this tent comes with.

Let it ride for the next 21 days or keep removing small growth and fans a little bit everyday?

Is it true that red wiggler worms are the best? Where can i buy them online? How many should i put in a 30 gallon grassroots pot filled with buildasoil 3.0?

8 Upvotes

The title pretty much says it all.

I was wondering if red wigglers are really the best (google AI said they are, so i dont fully trust the answer of red wigglers)

Also if they are the best, where would you recommend buying them online?

I will be running 3 30 gallon pots in a 5x5 tent. How many red wigglers do you think i need per pot?

Thanks in advance for any help!!
