KGB’s EarthBox Grow

[KGB]

Looks really good.

With scrogging ya just have to do it to understand where ya can improve. I'd say your rocking it. I'd also say ya got another 10+ days of stretch growth coming. Here lately I been stopping any tucking under at 10 days like you just did. Makes a pretty deep canopy but mostly even.

My Cap Junky #3 plant has some nice stalks built for colas. Deeper canopy than the others. This is what I been looking for.

Winging it and trying to incorporate suggestions. I also noticed, after looking at the time lapse, at the 10 day mark you gave me the bud sites started slowing down and they seem to be ‘taking shape”. Now the bud sites appear to have turned lime green down 2-3 sets of leaves when the light comes on. Look cool

I bent two stems backwards in like a tight S shape using both levels of net. Looking forward to seeing if that has any effect

Sounds great, you'll play around with it and find your way. Yeah, them clusters announce the stretch. Hang on..

Damn I was hoping stretch was half done

Day 46

Working through the jungle I spy bud formation

 

[greenmobster440]

Look great. I'd be moving them larger branches towards the perimeter if ya can. Ya still got a lot of growth coming.

By moving them outwards your opening up the center. Smaller growth can move into the screen easier.

It's gonna fill up quick in that space. Having fun watching ya progress.

Cool I stopped at 10 days as I was afraid I would hurt them. When the light comes back on I will move them thanks I appreciate the advice

So when do I know when to stop bending under?

Day 46

I know you aren’t supposed to defoliate this far into flowering but it’s getting pretty think between my scrog nets

 

[T_Dub]

That’s going to be beautiful in a few weeks! Your earthboxes are working well.

I can’t wait to tee up four more and lower the scrog net to 1 ft. Once I do it right I will have it down and this is my last hurdle

Still considering a 4x4 tent for that

So when do I know when to stop bending under?

I stop around 10 days in. That will give you taller colas. Your planning on a second net so yeah your good to go one stopping the pulling under.

You'll rock 2lbs consistently with a 4x4. Not to hard at all to get 8+oz per plant with them floaters.

Day 52

Buds are forming nicely still just adding water to my original soil mix

 

[KGB]

Day 55

Got up, fell out of bed put water in my plants containers and looked up to this

Buds are more prominent. I am thinking the stretch is over now I hope so. You can see the C99xPurple Urkle made it to the light. Next time the scrog net will be a foot or so shorter. Learning curve

 

[greenmobster440]

Looks like they are near done with that stretch. Easy cruise control growing now. The look great.

This is my practice run. Can’t wait to do it right

I will say this fulfills my dream of as automatic a grow as I could imagine. Now that I better understand the scrog net things will be super easy

And thanks again for the advice especially the tucking for 10 days rule which would have taken me 2 grows to know.

Day 60

Still have not added anything but water to the grow

 

[T_Dub]

How often are you having to water the earth boxes? I really like the simplicity (once they are assembled)

Your getting a nice deep controlled canopy. Good job.

Once a day I fill it to the line I marked which is close to full but gives me a margin of error great enough that I never overfill and I make sure it never goes below the other line.
