KGB’s EarthBox Grow

[KGB]

Got a call from one of my friends that is also using the EarthBox at my suggestion. He is getting fade way too early even for the auto’s he is growing. I asked him what his PH was and he said he had decided to ignore it since he is using tap water.

This is important. If you run a closed loop system like an earthbox it can be setup to run start to finish in an awesome and spectacular way.

But the earthboxes can’t be full flushed and just half flushing one is hard. The method I am using is exact it won’t suffer changes, substitution or incorrect PH.

Yeah pH is definitely important.
Especially around my area. Our tap runs 7.7-8.3 out the faucet. We pH down all our water to 6.2-6.5 prior to adding nutes. I know this and I don't even have a closed loop system.
Chalk it up to lazyness maybe? Some people want the end result without going through the process of dialing in a system.
My grow partner didn't correct anything in his last grow. And 1-2 oz per plant at 4' tall proved he needed help learning how to make corrections.

Sorry I was venting. He’s an older friend of mine and is an excellent gardener. Being an excellent gardener he knows his tap water has been growing vegetables for years so he skipped that step.

It appears the fan leaves on the Skunk#1 and Ice Princess are starting to fade. The C99xPurple Urkle is still not fading

Day 97 from seed

Thought I would check a calix from a smaller bud. I see some amber and the trichomes are all milky. I am guessing three weeks for this Skunk#1

Day 98

You can see the fade now on the Skunk#1 and Ice Princess. However the C99xPurple Urkle hasn’t begun to fade yet

I knew I should have harvested in 2024. I wake up and it’s a year later and several of my buds have walking sticks and are reading tiny copies of AARP. Plus there is a lot of junk mail on the floor of the tent, most of it for car and health insurance, and the buds are demanding more guard rails.

Have I waited too late to harvest? There are rumors of a class action lawsuit saying that once a day my big eye looking in on them is scary.

Only once a day really?

Only once a day really?

Sometimes twice a day if I feel the need but that’s rare and my water would last for two days so it won’t run out. I am not kidding when I say from start to finish all I do is add water daily, fill my 30 gallon reservoir when needed and PH when I do fill it to around 6.5. I use a pump and hose to water.

I do check the AC Infinity controller and the WYZE v3 camera because I can scroll back.

Consider this the easy bake version of an easy bake oven. Hey that’s catchy!

I dub growing with an earthbox using my nutrient mix the “Easy Bake”!!!

That’s pretty much the same way I feel about my grow. I have everything dialed in so good at this point that it feels like an easy bake oven, lol.
I really only have to check it once a day, of course I am usually in there a little more than that, just showing them love.
