Blackstrap 2: Day 81
Any day now...

Root Beer Float: Day 64

Hard to see in pictures, but they're doing better after an amino foliar feed with Build a Bloom and freeze dried coocunt water. Growth around out Bud sites is greener, there's is a coat of frost on the unhealthier one, and they're starting to smell wonderful!
Supreme Runtz Day 35

Maybe some yellowing from top down, maybe just part of transition to Flower? Looking mostly good though!

The stretch is on now! 3 inches in the last two days and she's drinking about .5 gallon a day. This looks like my first real successful Earthbox plant. The extra 4 days before filling the reservoir and making sure I have a good 8 hour dry period before refilling has helped the roots establish more fully. I pulled the tape off the overflow spout and roots put the opening! Bud sites galore on her as well.

This will basically be the model for my grow method going forward as 4-5 EBjrs like this will easily fill my 4x4. Now that I've got the basics down pretty well, I want to focus on maximizing my light/space and efficiency.

Maybe not the picture of health, but she is certainly colorful!

Really doing well! Just a bit of frost starting to form and stretch has slowed. Feeder roots starting to show through the top dressing so I will be putting another layer of Build a Flower on Sunday when I do the first heavy defol/schwazz.
Thanks for following along!

Decided to just go ahead with the defol and top dress after work tonight.
Top Dress: Light Recipe, Build a Flower, Terp Tea (1T), and craft blend (1T) Also gave a light foliar feed with coconut water for some aminos

Methane

Where's My Dog

Cream Cheese

All three sprouted within 12 hours of each other at about 72-84 hours. The nematodes, DE, Mosquito Bits and BaS EM5 seem to have taken care if the worst of the fungus gnats. Still a few strays, but they're easily taken care of with EM-5. Such a relief after the last seeds all failed!

Probably should have just waited a week forbthe defol. She ls put back pretty much all the leaves. But there are tons of buds sites growing quickly, should be a good yeilder! In a couple weeks I'll do another heavy defol, and maybe another top dress next week as she's already throwing feeder roots through the last one.
Thanks for following along yall

Purple one (also smaller) is looking like it'll finish pretty soon here. The bigger one that took a bad deficiency is still going (3 weeks left at least), maybe it'll be happier when I chop it's potmate?
