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.
