Miners Earthbox Vol. 1

[MrMiner978]

Hellllllo Mr Miner -

First post, new to AFN - what’s going on everybody? I’m looking to share my experiences growing medicinal cannabis and also learn from others. I grow organics and am making my first venture into true-SIP containers. I used to bottom water fabric pots, but saw the success folks have had with the Earthbox so I figured I’d give it a go.

Grow details below:
- 2x Forum Stomper & 2x Forgotten Strawberry (both Mephisto Genetics)
- Growers Choice ROI-420
- coast of maine bar harbor amended with roots organics terp tea microbe charge (worm castings, kelp extract, bat guano, alfalfa meal, soybean meal, fish protein hydrolysate, dolomite, gypsum, crab meal)
- DLI ~20 and VPD ~1 for seedling stage

Weekly Summary:
I’ll post a weekly summary here, but it’s day 1 so here’s a bit of strategy. My plan is to hopefully not screw these genetics up too bad haha. But for real, soil is primo since the first soaking so I’ll let it ride for a week or so and top water as needed (w/ neptunes harvest liquid seaweed). I plan on top dressing w/ roots organics terp tea veg/bloom and a local food-grade compost - using NH liquid fish & seaweed or molasses each feed. I like to top & LST after 4th node around day 20 - I’m imagining I’ll fill the EB res right before this.

More to come, but anyone with tips/questions/good vibes feel free to post along.

you can feel good about hood! Talk to yall later ✌

Miner checking in…

Visited my buddies in NYC yesterday for a birthday party so weekly check-in coming a day late. Took some and had myself a night!

4x8 is progressing well, today marks day 8. A lot of new green. On one half are my veggies and flowers (San Marzano Tomatoes, Excelsior Cukes, Lettuce, Dwarf Sunflowers)

these keep the wife happy lol she loves her pickles and my homemade red sauce. Trellis’ will be installed this week.

Other half of the 4x8 is cannabis. Environment has remained the same - no changes until we get out of seedling. The plastic mulch cover does wonders for water retention in the soil - everythings still plenty moist. Lights

FS are a bit behind but still early. I’m leaning towards cutting stragglers to leave one plant per box to make removing the cover and top dressing easier.


gimme a shout ! have a great upcoming week

EB regulars. So far so good! Yeah if I can fill around day 20 when I top them I think it’ll help give them an extra boost

Morning y’all! Miner checking in…

Today is day 14 and tons of growth in the 4x8. Veggies are doing very well and the cannabis has had some serious growth. Today I’ll adjust the lights/environment for the first time for the veg cycle. Plants will also get a feed sometime this week.

Forgotten Strawberry 1 + 2. Forgotten Strawberry #1 has its 4th node out and is showing the 5th not far behind. I’m assuming this will get topped in the next day or so.

Forum Stomper 1 + 2. FS #2 has its 4th node out and showing the 5th not far behind. This will get topped wit

Overall pleased with how self/sufficient the Earthbox is in retaining moisture; especially with the covers on. Growth is looking well and they’re showing signs they could use a full watering + feed. Planning on top dressing with roots organics terp tea grow

Fellow growers following along who have EB experience… Should I fill my rez now? The growth in the seedling stage took me by surprise and they seem well established.

hope y’all have a great weekend!

peace & love
