Indoor 2nd Earthbox Garage Grow (Night Owl, Dark Owl, Gnome & Dream Beans)

Fu$&. Like 60 seconds after posting this I went out to pull down the BBB down a bit more and finally broke a main stem. Then I was taping it up at the same time my 3 year old was having a coughing fit. It was a bit rushed but hopefully she’ll be ok.

Thanks for the tips and help. I’ll have to get some grafting tape. I just used electrical tape.

I haven't used electrical tape before but imagine it should work I have used scotch tape in a pitch till I learned about grating tape The grating tape doesn't have glue on it and it just stretches around and seals the wound from outside infections.

I've used Gorilla tape because I need the holding power man!

That's the only downside that I have seen to my program to increase my silica uptake. Any training past 4 weeks or so has become quite a bit more difficult. I really have to work the area where I'm gonna bend it.
Most of my breaks have been where the branch meets the main stem.

I start adding the calcium silicate from the beginning. I also was being a little greedy and late with my half ass training. But She is looking ok today. Appreciate the help and info Wildbill.

the BBB main stalk that I broke off is making a recovery. She looked really sad and droopy about an hour after it happened but a couple days later she is getting some vigor back. The canopy is more even now, mission accomplished….i suppose.

All the plants are sucking down the rez water pretty quick and are packing on some size.

Marathon OG is finally starting to grow too

Happy tomato and catnip and basil too.

Happy growing!

Thanks @Mozzy

Took quite a few leaves and lower nodes off. Want to increase airflow and light penetration. I’ve been filling up the reservoirs every other day and have been rotating adding quijalla, ful power humic, and em1 each time. Wondering if it would be better to add all of those for 1 watering per week and clean water the other times? Plants seem to be happy now so I’ll keep rotating.

BBB is the best looking plant right now and getting some frost now. The broken main stem is making a nice recovery.

Black Strap keep growing, I had to pull her main cola down to even the canopy.

ZaMango isn’t stretching anymore and is starting to stack. Smells like the nice rotten mix of fruit like the last one I grew. Yummy

Marathon OG is small for her age but doesn’t seem runtish, just behind like she got held back a couple years. But we’ll see, I’m happy with her progress.

Top dressed the tomato plant and she’s putting out some flower clusters. Can’t get my full tomato pic to upload properly so here’s the flowers.

Topped catnip at the 8th node

Basil got a top dress too but is looking a bit unhappy. Have always had a hard time growing basil. It’s like my kryptonite plant I swear

Always a bummer when I have to cut these lower nodes off, but it’s for the greater good.

Happy Growing!
