My bed is super easy. I amend it once at harvest and once when I flip to flower. It just cruises along.

That’s basically what I’d did top dressed just before flip with the build a flower I haven’t put in any pushin P yet I may do some tomorrow when I do some defol

They look like they like it.

Oh for sure, I’m not sure it was needed this soil is super loaded from the start it says 2 cycles before amending is needed but I started right from the beginning, I’d rather keep it loaded and always let these worms have something to munch on

Kahunas got thei defols done what a hell of a job, climbing and sliding around under that canopy somehow I managed to sneak up through the canopy and lower the lights it’s time to rock, increased PPFD from 500 to 750-780 power is only slightly increased and that’s where they’ll sit for the next 3-4 weeks then I’ll begin backing down the power slightly,

the frostette is rippin now filling out nice we’ll see how she looks in another 2 weeks!

Been following along. I have an earth box on the way. Gonna be using bas 3.0. I have questions though.

Rice hulls are good to use for mulch? I was concerned about a mulch layer and what to use. I have a full bag of rice hulls.

I believe the earthbox holds 2 cubic feet. Do you think 2 plants will fit or should I just do 1?

I'm gonna try to get some worms to put in there. I was originally going to do 7 gallon pots so I didn't worry about worms, I thought it'd be too small.

I'm liking your setup. Natep was giving me some tips about living soil. I'll probably have more questions once I transplant. They're just seedlings atm.

I’d suggest 1 if you follow the build a soil videos and the runs are great, the earthbox comes with the top cover dosent it? The stretchy one, or do they have to be bought separate? I’m still considering the next upgrade to be an earth box for the 3x3 I like the way the appear to run from the videos I’ve seen.

I used the straw first then the cover cro drop then build a flower then the rice hulls on top it’s a few layers in already lol

Yeah, I believe it comes with the cover. I've been watching alot of BAS videos. They are very informative.

I'm going to try without cover crop this first time. I'm slowly upgrading things and starting to feel like a real grower

Had no doubts this was going to be a banger run, the ladies are looking so happy!

Sounds like your earth box will be great no doubt, the stretchy cover-mulch is pretty neat.

Load em up while I’m still up

 

[Mikedin]

What’s up folks! Just woke back up was a nice nap

 

[Mikedin]

Another update day!

 

[Natep]

Looking good bro.

 

[Mikedin]

Looking good bro.

Thanks fam! They are coming along nice! Tomorrow actually ends week 4 and begins week 5 they are moving along quick

They got 1/4 cup of Pushin P each and the Frostette got that plus 1/2 cup of craft blend she just ending week 2 of flower

 

[Plant_operator]

Lookin great bud. I’m jealous of how even you get your canopies. If I go with a screen again, I’m definitely doing things differently.
You think the Pushin P is a better amendment in mid-late flower than the buildabloom?

 

[Mikedin]

Updateeeee start of week 5

I use the build a bloom weekly watered in, as well as the build a flower I did at flip, with the pushin P and the craft blend

My grow being the first, I haven’t used that much weekly amendments. I already can’t wait for next run, knowing what I’m doing differently.

this is my first run in this soil, but i went large on plant size, cover crop is dropped and under the build a flower, under the rice hulls, worms been chompin on those for a few weeks now. the soil is amazing now i just wanna keep it that way,
