Earthbox Escapades

[R Wayne]

Finally got some seeds in the dirt.

First an update on the heater. My wife reminded me that we cannot afford a $100 heater right now. Even though I really like new shiny things, I had to agree. It just wasnt within our budget right now. I ended up finding a radiator heater for $25 that has temp controls. I’ve been testing it the last few days and it keeps the tent within a 5 degree range. Been great so far. Have to stay mindful though. The device gets hot.

I cleaned the tent with bleach spray and the earthboxes with soap and water. My recycled soil should be good to go so I filled the earthboxes and watered them in with some goodies.

I also decided on Lecter Gen2 and SMOKE by ronin. Speedrun Seeds I chose was Frosted CherryO’s and Citrus Bubblegum.

Here is the lecter seed on top of mycos.

Hopefully I’ll get a CBD plant potted here soon. Thanks for stopping by.

We have life.

Lecter

Frosted cherryOs

Citrus bubblegum has looked like this for 24 hours now, so we’ll see.

Smoke is stuck. Will perform surgery tomorrow if need be.

Lecter day 8

CherryOs day 8

Both citrus bubble gum and smoke seedlings didn’t make it so I tossed another seed of each. Both popped and look good so far

Citrus bubble gum day 3

Smoke day 3

Will water with some mosquito bit tea soon. Damn gnats always find a way. But are never really a big problem. Mostly just annoying. Thanks for stopping by.

life has been busy lately (also getting sick over and over) the tent has been neglected. I also had my exhaust fans humidity trigger set to 71% and my humidifier set to 70% Basically my exhaust fan has just been sucking out the water from my humidifier. It all pooled up inside the vent hose and eventually busted out

Had me really confused for a good 10 minutes (my wife left the garage side door slightly cracked after she smoked, I though someone else came in and dumped water everywhere )
I drained the tube and patched it up then adjusted the exhaust fan and humidifier so this won’t happen again.

Day 16 for Lecter and Frosted CherryOs. I top dressed them with some original soil, Bu’s blend compost, worm castings, 3/4 cup craft blend per plant, and kashi blend. *All the pictures are from yesterday day 16/13.

Before top dress (frosted CherryOs)

After

Then I watered it in with BioAG ION-14, rootwise microbe complete, Big 6 micros, and quillaja. Put the shower caps on too.

Here is lecter after receiving the same treatment.

I also watered the citrus bubblegum and smoke, I will top dress them and cover them on Thursday. Day 13.

Citrus bubblegum

Smoke

I also planted some catnip and Italian sage in a pot together. An experiment to see if one out competes the other or can I grow both in the same pot? Time will tell. I will post pics once I see some action. Thanks for stopping by!

First, thanks for the kitty reps @Mozzy nothing has popped yet. Might have to try some seed starter first then transplant.

Second I just started training Frosted CherryOs. I just bent her down and trimmed a few fan leaves off. I am excited for this one. Day 24

The smoke and Citrus bubblegum got the same treatment as the other two last Thursday. Top dress, fertigate, and cover on. Both have responded well.
Smoke has some long fan leaves

Citrus Bubblegum

The Lecter has stayed pretty small and looks like its in preflower already. Both lecters I have grown have done this.

Heres the tent

Thanks for stopping by!
