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

[WildBill]

Yesterday the tents were put on 18/6. To help conserve heat later in the grow, the 4x4 is on from 0000-1800 and the small tents1800-0000.
This morning, all the Earthbox Jrs will get the same mix with Organics Alive FPF Fulvic Amino Acid at 16oz in the rez. I think this is a good method of getting the girls on the rez as soon as possible and being safe, 16oz every other day.
The Regulars are still a bit of experimental. Before taping up the cover, I added the same mix @ 16oz per wicking area and around the plant. Today, the Regs will get 16oz around each plant and 16oz in the rez. The watering around the plant will be every other day and water in the rez will be played by ear and how quickly it's taken up.
The next two waterings will be the last time aminos will be added to the rez water on any of the EBs. For the remainder of the grow, the rez water will be tap water with 1/4tsp/5gal humic acid, and Yah-Whey at one oz per gallon.
A peak under the covers shows VERY nice bokashi action. I like the Teriganix bokashi.
I'm happy with their progress. I upped the ppfd to around 330. I would have liked a bit more, but the next notch up on the dimmer was more than I wanted for the youngest girl.
These girls are on the verge of blowing up. Wednesday, they are two weeks above ground. A week later should be quite dramatic.

Double Grape is a happy girl!

I hope 3BOG out grows this mutant stage. I don't reallt want to use it to make seeds, but don't have much of a choice. With DG's growth, I think I want her to be the Mom. That's just a plain choice in bud preference. DG is damn good smoke and pretty productive squishing dried bud.

edit.......sorry about the last pic. There's a canna ghost in the tent.

I'm pretty sure the light is holding her back.

The light is really keeping her squat, so I raised the light to maybe help her to stretch a bit.

She really didn't like the light bump.

Coming along fine, but didn't like the light bump. She'll get taped up later today.

I've come to another "Wild Bill EarthBox Rule".

Even if I'm not going to train heavily, ALL Regular EarthBox Auto girls will be planted to one end or the other. It comes down to time getting that root structure established quickly in the wicking area.
Planting in the center isn't going to cut it with autos. I think it's not that important on photos with no time clock running.
Another alternative may be center planting, let the girl get bigger(bigger root system) and then start adding water to the rez. Center planting is better for arraignment in the tent, but speed and the power of the EarthBox is what I'm after. I think in my next Auto run in Regulars, I'll Plant both ways. The center planted girl will be grown and watered like a regular pot girl, with attention to also limited watering of the two wicking areas.

Anyway, either method will be better than this run. I started adding limited watering to the rez of the Regulars the same time I did with the Juniors. That was a mistake. The Jrs will establish that relationship quickly with them directly above the wicking area. The timing was great with the Jrs.
My Regulars will come around, but they won't be what they could have been.

Juniors are doing absolutely fantastic! 3 Bears OG X Samsquanch should be showing sex any day with today being 17 days above ground. She's right on the verge. Should closely examine others. Orgy pot needs training.

Turned up the HLG DIABLO 650R to just under 600ppfd. Girls seemed to have tolerated it much better.

Thanks! I'm overall happy so far.

Yesterday started out as an ok pain day and got worse getting this shot. It was just a hard shot to get in the tent.

Today is flower prep for all Earthbox girls
All got the same ingredients, just in different amounts
Jrs
1Table Spoon Craft Blend
1 Table Spoon Roots Organic Flower
2 Table Spoon Roots Organic Terp Tea
2 handfuls of EWC
3 handfuls of Lobster Compost

Regulars
2Table Spoon Craft Blend
2 Table Spoon Roots Organic Flower
4 Table Spoon Roots Organic Terp Tea
4 handfuls of EWC
4 handfuls of Lobster Compost

This was lightly watered in with my standard humic acid water with the following;
1 oz/gal Yah-Whey
1/2 oz/ Alfalfa ferment
1 1/4 teaspoon/ gal Amino Acid
1 teaspoon of Blue Gold Flower
1 teaspoon of my J
This was also what I used to fully water the gal pots.

The Earthboxes were sprinkled with EM1 Bokashi on top of the top dressings and covered with Alfalfa hay. This should give the fungus from the bokashi a place to grow and do it's work.

Sour Stomper showed sex at day 18

2x4 tent

Ogre Berry was moved from the 2.3 tent to the center of the 2x4.
A few select fans were taken to expose bud sites on Banana Bread and 3 Bears OG X Samsquanch.

Purple Kong was moved into this tent.

Girls that were big enough, got a bit of training and cleaning up.
Hopefully, the two regular EarthBoxes are finally coming around a bit.
I'll add a little water to their rez later today when I feed the 3gal pot girls.
Each Jr EarthBox received 1/2 gal of my stock water with a half dose of EM1
