I force a cutdown top with bricks on the top and throw a towel over the bucket. After the first few stirrings on leaves and get a fair amount of liquid, I'll stir it one last time, put a sugar cap on top and then put the lid on with bricks and cover with the towel.
Measures soil moisture/temp/ and EC! Be kick ass for knowing when to water and how often to feed em nutes!
Yeah I have known about this for a while but too rich for my pocket book. They have other sensors as well. I was trying to get them to do something for 420 but they don't seem to need us any longer. I think they are after the commercial market.
Oh ya the email i took that link from was talking about this being presale batch #4! #1 doesn’t even ship til end of this month and then it was 2 weeks between batches so batch 4 said late May but same as batch 3 so maybe more like early June if no problems arise! I know they def make individual sensors for moisture for house plants but not sure about the EC part! Not worth spending $100’s extra over the moisture sensor since bluelab makes a dope as EC soil probe for like $250 so can stab individual pots daily easy peasy! It also tells u moisture level so unless u want a sensor that reads nonstop it would work fine if u test on a daily basis cuz data goes to an app so prob has ways to track #’s over time!
You stonedI am not at all pleased with the beginning of this grow!
There is only one that is within my expectations, based on past performance. I have a close second. The others.............NOT SO MUCH!
The only difference.....................FUNGUS GNAT infestation from the Oly compost. The timing crap bit me in the ass!
I set up my Earthboxes and let them sit idle for a period. This is to get everything 'cooking' and getting all the GOOD helpers thriving.
Timing..........I didn't see ANY gnats until the day I dropped beans in water.......only a handful.
Dem bitches hadda fuggin HATCH!
The first up girls have done the best. They got their root structure established first. The larval gnats had to have had an impact on the root system. The very last one up is severely stunted!
Irony...........If I had planted two days earlier, ALL would have had well established root systems by the time of the gnat bomb went off! Dammit!
I'll treat again today with BTI to keep up the pressure. Hopefully the nematodes are getting well established.
Good news!
The other day I mixed up a little sumtin' sumtin' to see if I can do something to help.
Dash of Humic acid.......just enough to lightly color the water as the first step.
Powdered coconut milk
Quality Aminos...... light dose
Recharge
A touch of Medina Horticulture Molasses........feed microbes
Wettable mycos.......I forgot what brand and too sore to go look!
A touch of surfactant, but not really needed with the aminos and coconut milk. I add it to all my top waterings on EBs
The water was 94*F......shooting for anything over 90
Bubbled for an hour.
I slowly gave them all the same amount. I had a little left over, so I diluted it a little and gave all the Jrs about 10 oz in the Rez. This will help the roots find the wicking areas a little sooner, I think. Not really worried about over saturation. The other media will adjust it. ........within reason.
All have shown a marked improvement!
The two oldest are praying this morning!
Lesson learned!
Isolate new compost in tote. Add a little food.......chicken laying crumble.... lightly wet with light dose molasses water and sprinkle on bokashi. Cover and let cook! You should know something in 10 days or so.
Growin my own worms is gonna be a must for me. Best source for life in an Earthbox!
The unplanted Jr will not be planted with signs of gnats. Gonna hit it today also and give it fresh rat glue traps, so I can gage any infestation. Pretty sure it's still gonna be a photo. It will be a test of how and when I'm doing the second top dressings and if I need to hit photos harder with the organic nutes.
Honestly, I don't think there will be any difference in the demand RATE based on equal size.
I think the EB makes it equally available or either auto or photo..........with each getting the same DLI during the flowering period.
You already posted this?
Uhhhh didn’t u post this same message earlier?!?I am not at all pleased with the beginning of this grow!
