Runtz Muffin (Barney’s Farm) / Cheech Biggums (Night Owl) - Earthbox

Grow #2 is underway… first seed to harvest… first round of my hopefully fruitful no-till journey… Let’s see how these earthboxes perform!

After 24 hours in their new cribs the ladies seem to be likin it alright!

RM#1 has my favorite structure so far out of the 4 different phenos. this also happens to be the first seed that popped! All seeds were directly sewn.

Some close ups of each pheno…

- RM1 & RM2 poked through the soil on 7/21
- RM3, RM4, & Cheech Biggums (auto) poked through the soil on 7/23

This brings us right around 4 weeks of veg time… Crazy it’s been a month already! Excited to see how the garden looks a month from now.

Did a little tucking to expose some lower budsites on the Cheech Biggums auto. So far this girl has been a treat! Symmetrical growth pattern, nice vigor, great smell off the stem too. Pumped to see what she does over the next month!

The 5x5 is bumpin! Things are starting to take off

Whoops! Got a little too rough on the autoflower and snapped a couple branches while I was doing some LST. One of them I was able to tape back on, and the other one was a clean break, so I decided to top that one and let the aux shoots go to town! Gonna see if I can root it and get a little one bud wonder out of it.

It’s IPM day… You know the drill!

This week we are spraying @lost_coast_plant_therapy through the @petratools cannafogger

What does y’all’s IPM regiment consist of? Or do you just let the good guys in the soil do all the work? Lemme know!

I keep everything spotless, but after blowing a load on expensive soil and beginning my no-till journey I’ve opted to foliar spray… for now! Once I get my head stash built up nicely I may try some runs without it. As long as I can keep good microbiology going on and keep my Brie levels up, it shouldn’t be an issue… Thanks for chiming in!

 

[hevvyeyes_grows]

Things are looking good after spray day… Bustin at the seams!

Pretty blown away with these earthboxes and their ability to conserve water. Things have been running smoothly, I’ve only filled the reservoirs twice since I started bottom watering. I’ve added .5oz/gal of EM1 to the reservoir to help maintain some healthy anaerobes down there and to aid in keeping any funky smells coming from the fill tube. Instead of filling the res completely I’m only filling with a gallon each time, this way I have more opportunities to top water my ferments and teas which are important to me with how high my PH is (9+)... need those microbes to make themselves a home down there! (they prefer a lower PH, so if they get comfy that should buffer the PH down). I’m interested to see how much these girls drink during the stretch. Right now they’re pretty low maintenance only drinking a little more than a quarter gallon a day.

I’ll be doing a defoliation on Monday and I plan to make a #fermentedplantextract with the all the trimmings…

Then we wait a week and the following Monday I’ll be flipping to 12/12! This will give us a total veg time of 45 days. Can’t wait to see what these girls can do in flower!

My guess is they'll drink a lot through the stretch and after, don't forget to check them. Mine are drinking atleast 10L per day now, end of wk 6 flower. How tall are they now and how much room you got left?

I’m thinking the same, might up the amount i fill the res if I notice them guzzling it up that quickly. This is a 5x5 tent, haven’t measured height yet but they’re somewhere around 2-2.5ft tall.

My res holds 28L. During veg I filled it once maybe twice so was thinking it would last a week in flower maybe but luckily the wife asked how the tanks were going one day at the start of stretch and turns out they were pretty much empty. Since then they have needed refilling every 2/3 days. I flipped my plants at 35/45cm and now they're huge, need to do better with my lst next run, would prefer to have 18"+ after stretch to work with, instead of 12" they have now.
Have you got an auto in there aswell? The plants are looking really nice too!
