Gnats? How is that? Your soil loaded and they get into res? I have no issues, but uNice to know I’m on the right track then. And yea pictures can be so deceiving at times haha I’ve been creeping your hugel bed grow for awhile, appreciate your input
Good call, might just throw an elastic band and some Saran wrap on it haha I’ve had nightmares of fungus gnats swarming out of that tube. And I agree SIPs are super legit, really happy with growth and low maintenanc.
I was just being sarcastic about them coming out of the tube. I’ve seen one gnat flying around in their, so I put DE around the stem opening in the cover and haven’t seen them since. I’m in Canada, so bugs love to over winter in our homes, found a stink bug making his way to the broccoli I have growing yesterday.Gnats? How is that? Your soil loaded and they get into res?

I have the covers on (this should eliminate gnats, and lots of beneficial predator mites, nematodes, etc. What part of US are you?
Looking good man got a pic of where it’s located? If it’s at the net it’s going to grow some more and if there’s nothing blocking the light it should still turn out nice.1 week into flower.
I noticed one of my main tops got drowned out somehow when I was cleaning up below the net. It’s basically at the trellis height, should I just cut that sucker off? At this point its 5” shorter than the rest of the canopy, I can’t imagine it just popping up. Would appreciate input their if anyone cares too.
It’s basically in the middle but towards the right corner, I moved stuff around to get some light down there. It’s not looking happy, the one at my middle finger. I’ll have to remove some leaves around there tomorrow I guess if it’s going to have a chance.Looking good man got a pic of where it’s located?

Ya I suggest trying that first and give it a couple weeks. I do a heavy defoliation on day 21 but will remove a random leaf here or there if I see it massively blocking a bud site like what you have going on there.It’s basically in the middle but towards the right corner, I moved stuff around to get some light down there.

Cheers man. Was going to ask when you defoliate as well, 2 for 1 hahaYa I suggest trying that first and give it a couple weeks. I do a heavy defoliation on day 21 but will remove a random leaf here or there if I see it massively blocking a bud site like what you have going on there.
Thanks man. Earthbox style planters definitely make for an easy ride. As far as the soil im happy with my purchase for sure. I didn’t add anything to it, it’s a really good light mix, I was impressed with the quality.Your plants look great! I just came across your post, and I'll be following along the rest of the grow. I did a few runs with a SWICK set-up with mixed results and was thinking about trying an earth box.
I'm also Canadian and have been curios about the Stepwell. It's got to be $100 or more after taxes for a bag of it here in Halifax, same goes for the earth box. I already have a large assortment of amendments from Black Swallow in Ontario, but when I run out I was thinking of trying the Stepwell.
Did you add extra perlite or other aeration to the SS?
