I've tried 3 gal pots, 5 gal pots, a single 12-gal pot, air pots, fabric pots, auto pots... nothing can compare to these Earthboxes. As long as you set them up correctly with the proper ratio's and don't fill the reservoir until the roots reach the bottom, the growth is insane on them. Before using these my record for a 3x3 scrog was 10 ounces. Now I regularly pull a pound. And the best part is the ONLY thing you have to do to get a great harvest is fill the reservoir with clean water when its empty and set your timer to 12/12 after 2-3 weeks. I wanted to add the seabird guano for a phosphorous boost a week before flower because this is the 5th cycle. Trying to get more nodes.I just finished my first photo in an EB. Crazy
That’s awesome. Do you make any fpj or imo?I kind of based my mix on it...all locally sourced except the mineral mix and Kashi which I buy from Buildasoil. Jeramy is the one who turned me on to these Earthboxes. I bought one and it rocked so well I bought 3 more. One is for herbs that my granddaughter grows for her Guinee pigs.
I’ve done bananas but never squash. Seems like the aloe is the best fpj I’ve used so far. I’ve tried raspberry’s, parslane. They didn’t seem to do much. Seems like the water soluble calcium seems to help.I forgo the FPJ, but I do make FFJ. I like to use half winter squash and half banana. Equal parts (by weight) of squash/banana and brown sugar. I let it sit for a week or so in a jar covered by a paper towel. There is VERY little solids to strain at the end. I use 5ml/ per gallon of water each week in flower.
This came out of my 2x3 x60. It got a bit out of control. Grew past the light. I had to keep tying it down.Thats an insanely long flower! Good grief! That would never fit in my tent. I only have a 3x3 and have 2 adult sons that I supply so I have to scrog. My tent is also only 6ft so I take great pains to keep them short so I can also run the filter and lights. I can have a maximum of 4ft of growth between the top of the pot and the bottom of the light.
The selling point for me on organic is the ease. No pH to worry about. No PPM to regulate. No EC to monitor. No stressing about anything other than 'does it need watered?'
3-gallon water reservoir and 12 gallons for soil. Just under 2 cubic feet of growing area. And with the elastic mulch covers you can mound another 2 gallons of soil/amendments on top.I love earth boxes, what size are those?
