Earthbox Escapades

[R Wayne]

You've done about everything I could mention. What about running lights on at nighttime typically the coldest part of the day or worst case 24/0.

I just got the AC infinity heater and it's the best money I've spent on the grow in a minute. It's 500w but puts out some serious heat without needing to be in the tent

I took the timer off the light, let it run full time.

I just checked that ac infinity heater out, thing looks awesome. So it can heat up the tent from the outside? I think I need to work a little extra this week and grab it. It’s on sale rn. I’m sure it will be way more efficient then my two electric heater system. AC infinity makes some great grow gear. I have the humidifier that I can leave out of the tent, love it. Thanks for the tip @Lil Dab

Blue lights is a blueberry northern lights I got from a friend to make my f1 generation plus used the male blue lights on my S.O.S to make BLUEMOON . BlueMoon has genetics that includes "cheese , chronic , blueberry , northern lights and white widow "

Nugz is my gen2 version of mephisto blue nuggets a cross of blues and strawberry nuggets

Both sound great, you’re also making a case for the blue moon too, so is @KingRatt I’m sure blessed with all these really solid genetics.
Also, SOS has become my favorite nighttime smoke recently. Such a relaxing strain.

Yeah it's slick it has a fan and a flexible duct you plumb into the tent. I'm in a basement it's cool but probably not quite a cold as the garage but it's definetly kept my tent stable less then 10 degree temp swings with dark period. I have mine sitting just outside the tent then plumbed into the right with to my intake duct

Finally got some seeds in the dirt.

First an update on the heater. My wife reminded me that we cannot afford a $100 heater right now. Even though I really like new shiny things, I had to agree. It just wasnt within our budget right now. I ended up finding a radiator heater for $25 that has temp controls. I’ve been testing it the last few days and it keeps the tent within a 5 degree range. Been great so far. Have to stay mindful though. The device gets hot.

I cleaned the tent with bleach spray and the earthboxes with soap and water. My recycled soil should be good to go so I filled the earthboxes and watered them in with some goodies.

I also decided on Lecter Gen2 and SMOKE by ronin. Speedrun Seeds I chose was Frosted CherryO’s and Citrus Bubblegum.

Here is the lecter seed on top of mycos.

Hopefully I’ll get a CBD plant potted here soon. Thanks for stopping by.

Citrus bubblegum has looked like this for 24 hours now, so we’ll see.

Smoke is stuck. Will perform surgery tomorrow if need be.

You will defo be stoked! Lecter was super easy and super forgiving, with some pretty fat buds for me this winter even dipping down to the 40s f. Cant wait to see what it does in a proper environment! Good luck and good selection of genetics!

Ya I’m excited to grow the lecter gen2 and thanks man. I also put it in one of the earthbox jrs cause I seem to have a solid grasp on growing in the juniors. Been struggling more with the regular earthbox. Hoping this lecter will grow better than the first lecter I grew.

I also forgot to mention something when I started this grow. Usually I put a solo cups worth of seed starter soil where I plant the seeds. I skipped it this time. Wanted to experiment and see if I could skip the seed starter. Looks promising so far.

I grow in a mix of about 40% FoxFarm Happy Frog with about 40% MotherEarth Coco-Peat, and about 20% perlite mixed in. Inoculated with GreatWhite mycos/bennies. Its basically a seed starter mix already, after about 3wks all the feeding is up to me, and i like that level of control in soil indoors..

Lecter day 8

CherryOs day 8

Both citrus bubble gum and smoke seedlings didn’t make it so I tossed another seed of each. Both popped and look good so far

Citrus bubble gum day 3

Smoke day 3

Will water with some mosquito bit tea soon. Damn gnats always find a way. But are never really a big problem. Mostly just annoying. Thanks for stopping by.

Not sure if I've told you before but I really liked using pot poppers nematodes in my earthboxes. I would add them when I filled the boxes or at first top dressing and never had issues

I’ve used nematodes before but not the pot poppers. Is this what you used?
