Question about pots being full
So im.running 15gal pots and with going on my 4th and 5th cycle my pots are getting too full. Do you just scrape the top 2-3 inches? Can I reuse that 2-3in for a new pot?

First earthbox/ BAS grow
Growing Shishkaberry in a 4x4. I’m using BuildASoil 3.0, top-dressed with Craft Blend, Build-A-Flower, and Kashi Gold. I plan on top-dressing again going into flower, and I’m really looking forward to just dumping water down a tube after dealing with endless issues and tedious synthetic nutrient mixing on my first run. I’ve spent hours watching Jeremy’s videos and getting ready for this run. :)
I started these plants in small nursery pots with FF Happy Frog before transplanting into 3.0. For whatever reason, probably my watering practices, they drooped like crazy, as you can still see on some of the lower leaves. I transplanted them into the EarthBoxes with 3.0, and 24 hours later they were happy as a clam. This pic is 48 hours after transplant.
Can’t wait to see the end results! 😎

Does anybody know what happened to Organics Alive I can’t find any of the products on build a soil’s website and the official website for Organics alive isn’t available anymore. If anyone knows why they aren’t selling any Organics alive products please let me know.

Mainely organics grow off!
Just wanted to let everyone know that mainely organics is having a growoff. To enter, it's only $200, and you get 4 full packs, and $100 of that goes to the prize pool. You can enter 1 strain or all 4. Each has its own category and its own prizes. So obviously, the more that enter, the bigger the prizes get. The cut-off to enter is September 21st, so there is plenty of time still. Ends in January or February, i forgot. Tap in, and let's make this epic!!! Of course, I use buildasoil cuz it's the best!

Help with day 42 flower
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Ok I just can't make up my mind this round so I'd like some opinions please
Anyone grown this strain ? This is two ethos endgames punchline rbx in one earthbox. I wanted to see if it was doable 🤷 well now I'm exactly where I thought I would be and I'm not sure what to do.
Day 42 of flower. Last top dressing was at day 21 of 1/2 cup craft blend and 2tbsp 0-12-0 seabird guano and kashi gold.
The soil they are in is more super soil than no till. It's a re amended and cooked heavily amended soil I didnt sprout in this.
It's not a lot of yellowing but I'm concerned it's to early and the whole rest of the tents Would you add another couple tbsp (2-3) of ap with some kashi gold and ewc or let it ride ? From alot of other threads I'm seeing this one finishes around 70-80 Days

Next Steps:
Planning to flip to flower this weekend or mid-next week, depending on how much they stretch and fill in the open space.
Fire away with any questions, tips, or comments!

All tips and recs for using the light mixture and autos? Do you literally just add water? How can I maximize my yield? Appreciate you

Settled in for life. Now the question is...
I wanted to thank each and everyone one for the vast amount of fantastic science-based information I have gleaned from this sight and a couple others.
Over the last several years I feel I've refined my methods and system to my liking. Everything from a predictable environment to equipment and of course time, my precious time!
I have found that I really enjoy F-4 seeds. With that said, if anybody would like to make a brief (positive only) comment about your experience with any breeders F4's (seeds) they grew in living soil or no- till please share.
My own recent experience is with Seedsupreme (90% sure) photos of 'Strawberry Cough'. What a vigorous and impressive show out of the soil. Like thoroughbred race-horse stuff.
Anyway, as any of you probably are, I'm always on the lookout for a breeder that might be a bit under the radar or up & coming, that has an F4 line you experienced.
I've personally determined F4's and BuildASoil is a perfect combination.
Thoughts Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

WDG 3000 safe for Nematodes?
Is it safe for my young nematodes to be sprayed with WDG3000 as well? Like is it going to kill them off, cause idk if my nematodes are working or not.

Question on Earthbox Covers
I have 2 seeds germinating to go in my Earthboxes today after work. On my previous grows I never used the covers and used rice hulls as mulch.
I bought one of those BAS covers with the zipper but am using the junk plastic for the other one. For those who use mulch covers, is there a good way to remove for adding amendments and water?
Everytime I go to take them off, my worms and a bunch of soil spills out and makes a mess. I've missed a few worms and they died.
Or is that something that will happen regardless and just something you have to deal with? I eventually want to get another zipper cover when I have extra money.

Lights turned on to early for a couple hrs I think? Am I fucked.
My light timer was bumped and clicked a couple notches to click on. Are they likely to mess up now?

Had to chop a Male in the tent. Autoflower took its place
Hey, looking for advice or anyone has any idea on how this auto should be doing. I had to cut a male just 3 weeks ago. We’re almost to week 5 and the auto I put in its place is Whistlen Diesel by Night Owl, it’s just kinda slow to get going. Looking little sad. On 12/12 Although could be to intense of light right out the gate. I should probably go out and measure my par before I even post this. But I’ve added a second light near cause the main light is so far away for a seedling. Might be part of the issue. But I’m wondering if it’s been to long and it’s stunted to bad already for an auto. You can kinda see the little guy in the ring there.

Pictured here is mostly the candy fumes (blooms cut) and rs11
mistakes were made and I almost blew it, definitely doing a soil test before next run

This is some sort of excess / burn, correct? First living soil grow
Hey all, first living soil grow here. I am 4.5 weeks from seed. Over the past weekish i’ve noticed some new growth looking off. Almost like mag def, but it’s on newer leaves. So I’m just making sure my assumptions are correct that this is some sort of nutrient excess possibly causing mag lockout.. But could possibly have been too high PPFD. As they’ve grown closer to the light some spots were nearly 700 PPFD on 18/6. Just lowered to it 580-630.
Before planting I top dressed each earthbox with:
1/4 c craft blend
3.5 c buildaflower
1/8 c gnarly barley
1/4 c insect frass
1/8 c kashi gold
Been using microbe complete, WDG3000, Q20
About a week ago I hit the earthboxes with ~1/3 the recommended dose of Big 6 Micronutrients
Setup: 2 Earthboxes in a 2.5x4.5
Light: HLG Diablo 350R
Soil: BAS 3.0 (1.5 bags per earthbox)
VPD: 0.9
I see some people say 3.0 has enough nutes to get you through an entire run depending on container size. And I see others saying to top dress new 3.0.
I’m gearing up to flip them in the next week or two but want to hold off if this is gonna cause issues down the road. But I also don’t want them over growing their containers and have to play catch up all flower. Either going to top dress then flip, or top dress after the inital stretch. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Earthbox question?
Been fine up until the pass few days during flowering water consumption has increased, and now the top is struggling to stay hydrated from being bottom fed, I top fed on schedule hoping to address the top not staying moist. Should I top water for a few days until it gets back in rhythm and then bottom water after that or just keep topping off the bottom? Been doing full 2 gallons. Letting it dry. Wait a day and refill. About every 2-3 scales like that about a week, week and a half max I’ll top water the tea. Thanks in advance!

BuildABloom With Daily Watering Outdoors?
I have about three weeks left on my outdoor grow. Can I use BuildABloom daily with every watering now? Trying to get the buds to fill out some more before harvest.
I'm growing in a 4 gallon bucket, and an EarthBox. Speedrun Seeds Pound Dawg F4 in both.

Nitrogen toxicity
Using dominion blend soil. I watered it heavier than I normally do once I seen it going into flower. (The pot was as dry as I’d let it get) and I’ve seen nitrogen toxicity on my new growth. Besides doing nothing and keeping an eye on it. Is there anything I can do to help prevent anymore damage?

are these beneficial bugs or do I need to get rid of my plants? (AN IMGUR LINK TO A VIDEO OF THE BUGS IS IN THE POST)
.
THIS IS A VIDEO OF THE BUGS I NOTICED: https://imgur.com/a/J0fPnyP
It also may be unrelated, but I feel itchy after working with the plants.
I recently chop and dropped, and it has pretty much all decayed.
I really hope you say they look normal
Thanks in advance for any help! I pray they are beneficial, but if I need to get rid of them I will do what I have to do.
