This LITFA and just watch period is boring and sucks. Tomorrow they will be one week above ground.
Tomorrow, I'm checking under the covers for fungal development and moisture levels, I think I'll add 4oz of the same concoction I used Saturday of Humic acid, Aminos and Thrive Probiotics Yah-Whey to all the Earthboxes.
I think this will be good for the Jrs, especially. Even if it's too much water and it falls thru to the rez, it will promote root establishment in the wicking area. In the Jrs, the wicking area is in the center where ya plant your seed or transplant. I'll check the moisture levels in the regulars and probably add water to the wicking areas on the ends to make sure they are charged well with moisture. I wish they would
add another wicking area in the middle in Regular Earthboxes. It could get the regulars 'on the rez' quicker in Regulars. They could call it the CannaBox version!
I'll probally add EWC also. I didn't have a lot left over when I set up the EBs. It was with box store EWC, which looked to be great quality, but I didn't see 'life' in it. I bought EWC from BAS, but I'm a bit disappointed. Fresh collected and minimally worked EWC retains it's shape.....looks like what it IS...........tiny worm turds. The EWC I got from BAS had no shape. It was very fine and I think slightly low on moisture. I didn't really look close to check life in it with being a bit pissed when checking it out.
I'll probally add some lobster compost and wet that down with the same as above and sprinkle some of the EM1 bokashi, which I'm VERY pleased with it's activity when applied.
I think tomorrow, I'll put all on 18/6. To balance the heat keep more even temps the whole cycle in the room for later in the grow, The two smaller tent will have their off period at 1200-1800 and the 4x4 with the HLG DIABLO 650R will be from 1800 to 2400.
I don't keep the house all that warm in the winter with my expensive ass electric heat. That's the biggest thing and pretty much the only thing I don't like about my home. I'd MUCH rather have gas heat and cooking. Far cheaper and more efficient to heat and cooking on electric SUKS!!!!!!!!
I'm adding this here to expose more to Earthbox and my thoughts and methods. Please pipe up if you see anything you feel is wrong or could be done different. My biggest thing I want to do is to get the girls 'on the rez' as soon as possible and finding the best method to do so.
