Completed Wild Bill does EarthBoxes under HLG DIABLO 650R and various fire girls!

[WildBill]

The ambers from the other day were from leaves. Sour Stomper X CDLC] x FORUM STOMPER by Mephisto has a lot of cloudy. Still the same story on the other close girls

Here's a good solo pic of Knows Candy day 79
Note the door knob for size reference. Definitely a Regular EB girl!!! Easily a 1lb girl in a Regular!
All buds are very firm!

Jebus! I've got damn avalanche warnings all over the place...............but amber............not so much!

The contrast in my Dark Beauty, Sour Stomper X CDLC] x FORUM STOMPER, is pretty stunning.
I'll see if I can get some macro pics, but I don't know if this cheap-ass camera can capture it. I think she's actually closer than Stomper or Double Grape. I see very little clears. This is gonna be some crazy flower! Crazy Good!

Gotta finish up the 4x4 and give Knows Candy and Mangos N Chem one last flower top dressing. I KNOW! I said the prior top dressing was the last, but these two are getting stupid with bud production..
All of Knows Candy buds are very hard and just plain fattening up..............and there's lots of buds.
Mangos N Chem is still bushy as hell. Behind all that 'bushyness' is big fat colas. I did see a warning about her main cola getting really fat and needs to be watched and precautions taken for mold.........just because of the mass I guess. That's specifically why she got topped. I think I broke that dominance quite well. She's stocky all over! She's gonna run long like Knows Candy. No signs of fade whatsoever.


Sour Stomper X CDLC] x FORUM STOMPER,

Purple Kong and the little light that could, a 2014 Solar Flare burple light!

Stinky as hell and greasy, buds keep building and firming up quite nicely.
She'll be moving into the 4x4 sometime in a couple of days after I chop Black Beauty and/or Fugue State.
I'll go ahead and support her. She's gathering all the light she can with this structure under this small footprint light. It will be interesting how she reacts to the HLG flame thrower.:smoking:

Finally finished!
Sour Stomper, Double Grape and 3BOG are in bags in the Freezer.
Fugue State was broken down to limbs and in paper bags.
Sour Stomper X CDLC] x FORUM STOMPER is in Wild Bill's Canna Drying Box with fans removed and whole.
I moved Purple Kong to the 4x4. I should have used yo-yos, but bamboo id what I had.

DAY88
2x4 tent
All the girls are into fade. Ogre Berry is being a show off with her fade. Ogre Berry trichs are maturing a bit odd. Trichs on leaves are maturing sooner, naturally, but it seems at a higher rate. Mostly cloudy with limited clears on buds. She'll get chopped this week. More than likely, paper bags for her.

Bananna Bread
She's moving along nicely with a nice fade going. Still several days to go.

OgreBerry
My only disappointment in this girl is that she won't be ready for Christmas

3 Bears OG X Samsquanch by Mephisto
She's moving along nicely with a nice fade going. Still several days to go.

DAY88

The remaining girls in the 4x4 took their new places.
Knows Candy is a heavy feeder, I think this expression is a little light and little wind sensitive. Root intrusion into the nute bank is extensive. So she has shown signs of needing flower nutes again, so I mixed up BAS Flower or bud boost, Blue Gold Flower, and some aminos, just a small amount to aide in taking up the flower nutes. ..... and an ounce of Yah-Whey. Since I'm top spraying, I also added some surfactant.
All the girls that the rez was dry, got a dose Kong and Mangos N Chem didn't need a thing.
Kong was very floppy from the light and so much bud, so I caged her up with some bamboo and soft wire. She's beginning to adjust.

Question for you @WildBill I see you have some bamboo trellis. I have a plant thats really blown up in the EB and Im thinking some support will be needed when she starts bulking. Do you stick the bamboo in the EB itself or attach it somehow? Just hoping to pick your brain about how you trellis/support big plants in an earthbox?

If I had the bamboo on hand, I'd just stick in the media..............after I made sure I top dressed to carry her to chop.
There is this............ https://earthbox.com/clearance-sale/earthbox-staking-system-margarita

You can get creative, pretty easy. Kinda based off the green plastic part in that link.
2 2x4 pieces of wood, some round stock and 4 holes drilled into each 2x4.

Cut the wood to be wider than the EB. Fit the round stock on the center of the board to fit in the holes in the EB for the rollers and on the ends of the boards for the upright round stock.
You can get more creative after that, working off the 4 uprights.
This should help visualize it.

The uprights would come off the outriggers.

Today is 90 days on the current grow. Harvested 5 and have 6 to go.
5 girls have slowed water usage to a gallon in 24 hrs. They're all drunkard ladies!
Ogre Berry and her tent mates will get scoped at first light. Ogre Berry will go down sometime this week........I assume by the trics, but she's still sucking water.
Knows Candy just keeps on that drunken spree. I hit her again with the flower nutes. I know the bugs have liked the top waterings. They were BUSY when I pulled back her covers.
Don't grow this girl in a Jr! She just eats too much. Even doubling up on the dry powder nutes, wouldn't have carried her the way I wanted. I think she's coming around a bit to finish up well these last 14 or so days. Minimal larf on her, or really ANY of the girls in the 4x4 tent under the bad ass HLG DIABLO 650R. The light penetrates! I'm hoping Kong will firm up her buds under this light!

I think Ogre Berry is ready fer chop.
