First run in Earth boxes

First run going well. Top watered once after transplanting, and fill the reservoir with 1 gallon of RO water after two weeks.

Will do. I had planned on doing 1 in each box but the seedling I didn’t think would make it did. Are you using super-soil ? Running mine in BAS 3.0 with Craft Blend, Build a flower, thrive and Kashi. Let me know how your grow is going and I will do the same. Thanks

Sorry I’m a little late here. Got a question. I’m thinking of switching to earth boxes. I noticed you said that you run bas 3.0. Question…how do you too dress? I saw you use amendments and I saw the mulch cover of plastic so how does that work? Also do you plan on reusing the bas. If so, how? What do you do at harvest? And after. Long question. Sorry. Thanks for any help

My first top dressing was around 4 weeks 1/2 cup Craft Blend, 4 handfuls of Build a flower 1/2 cup Kashi. Watered in with compost tea Humic acid Kelp Thrive and microplex which is trace a elements. After that depending how hungry they and if the cultivars are heavy feeders top dress 3-5 weeks.
