Indoor RocBudInc genetics Perpetual SIP earthbox grow

I am just about to go get a lil soil from the bin to put around stem where I pulled plastic bottle out that I had to add to stabilize it after it super stretched! Now those 1st huge gaps between nodes is helping to fill net out a lil more! Should I do all Oly compost, Oly mixed with soil or Oly+soil+EWC when I top off this full size @MrOldBoy ?? I’ll do ASAP just wanna add the proper stuff on top! On the juniors I gotta get back in and move the ties on gold glue and trim some lowers off toofless so I’ll mound those up then! Those I’m guessing I can do just all straight Oly compost right?? Full size still need to top off and would take 1/2 the bag to do just straight oly compost on it! Let me know when u have a sec and thanks as always amigo! These boxes work great so I appreciate your pointers for making them work better!
Here’s rocit fuel today @day 32

Lowers usually have to spread into new hole daily and top every other day she’s skipping holes! YES I KNOW AS SOON AS I TOP OFF I WILL SEAL THIS HOLE UP!! I added an extra square cut from 1 of my full size boxes and taped tight around stem and sealed it and taped around outside of it real good! :smoking:
I personally use EWC, build a bloom compost, and a 1/4 of Craft Blend. But I dont have worms. I have heard many good things about Oly Fish Compost, even without worms. Next time I place an order, I will grab some. I have a few other things to get first. I am going to make some more SIPs. I cant find mynsaw tho. I need it for these larger totes. Not sure where it is, and I need it to cut the lids. Hopefully I can find it. I am gonna start 2 more seeds tomorrow. So I want to have 2 made for them.. peace, slow
 
If u order it from build a soil there IG post today said they had just packed up 4/27’s orders and would do 28/29th tomorrow so they r behind! Should I just grab some fish bone meal and bio char cuz I have rest of ingredients that’s in build a bloom from them?? Or my local guy has it in stock if it’s smarter just to buy some! Think it’s like $20ish for 1lb bag! I can get 8oz box of down to earth stuff from local place for $8 a box too so not sure which to do?!? :coffee2: I am gonna have to jigsaw them in u def the autocob cuz entered 1/2 gallon growoff on IG for both rocbudinc grow and Anna Janes autoflowers also sponsoring 1 I entered! Closet may be back in action!:vibe:
 
I would do straight Oly with some finely crushed egg shells / rock dust - perhaps some EWC but the thing about EWC is worms don’t eat their own poop ..... Tip: Moisten Oly before topping off .....

Super glad the EB is working well for you - for sure it eliminates how much water and when should I water and did I water enough issues!
 
I see an open Feeding tube. Dont slip up, gnats will go seek moisture, so that is one of the first spots they would go to IMO. Also hsve 2 Roc it Fuel plants that would have done well in scrogg. Good luck, sow

Good call slow as we don’t want phorid (drain) flies either.
 
Hey either @MrOldBoy or @slowandeasy can y’all give me a guesstimate what the hell is going on here?? Had no issues and all of a sudden I woke up today and this plant seems like it’s lost almost all it’s life! Leafs are limp and flopping over and has me confused! Don’t see any kind of bugs or anything so no clue what it could be since cant overwater in earthbox! I’m totally confused!

Feeling at this rate the damn thing may be dead by tomorrow! Any clue what could cause this cuz seems like where have to fill the juniors up daily this thing maybe twice a week and doesn’t take much to top it off almost like it’s not wicking it up like it should! I’m mad confused here! Thx and hopefully u can share a pointer to bounce this thing back!
