    Coco in an earthbox? Advice needed

    I'm not too familiar with dry nutes...did you just mix em in the medium? I've done a couple earthbox cycles and have loved the results using roots organic. I've heard lots about people switching to coco and never going back but I need to hear some confirmation before abandoning my current method.

    Coco in an earthbox? Advice needed

    I am a few weeks out from starting an Easy Ryder (lowryder #2 x AK 47) indoor op using 8 homemade Earthbox-type containers. Does anyone know if coco would be a good choice as a medium for these containers? Based on their website I know Earthbox tends to lean towards potting mix, but I'm...

    Sorry for the much delayed update. Not much time during the week so have to wait til the weekend. Had a gang of trimmers (about 8) working for 3 days to complete the crop. Here's what we're looking at right now. We'll post more as we jar them. Enjoy

    Sorry for the long break. We are killing the light after one more day, so we'll be sure to snap some pics before that. We are planning on cutting 6 on friday, 7 on saturday, and 6 on sunday to make the trimming a bit easier. We are going to try the trick of giving them at least 2 full days of...

    We just flushed the ladies today, pictures to come tommorow. The buds are really starting to fill out, 2.5 weeks left to go at most, more likely about 1.5 though.

    We were considering doing a light rail, and looking back it would have been worth it for sure. We were looking into CO2 as well, but with the size of our room we would need to buy tanks, regulator, etc. If we were going to keep this whole room as a grow, then we might have invested in this as...

    This is the last time we'll be dedicating a whole room to the grow. Another 1K would double our electricity bill, which is already really high as it is. It would be nice, but not very reasonable.

    So we just finished the 6th week of flower, probably about two or three weeks left to go. We are planning on flushing within the next week, and then use only pure water and Purplemaxx until the end. Here are the pictures:

    So I got bored and decided to take some more pictures for you. The Gravity seems to be working wonders in regards to the color and size of the buds. Check it out: The hairs look orange in the pictures, but in reality they are all white. Does anyone have info on how long...

    Finally another update! So we watered today with Gravity for the second time, in addition to Purplemaxx, Rhizatonic, Cannazym, Bio Boost, and molasses. Some of the plants are starting to turn really purple, while the others are staying green for now. I tried to get pictures of the purple action...

    Thanks man, this is actually our second time doing this. Our first time we had 8 plants in my closet, but we decided to expand haha. We're just a couple of college kids doing this, so anything is possible. We put a lot of thought and effort behind this whole project, and it has definately paid...

    Updates are coming tommorow, sorry I've been out of town since Friday. Plants are starting to turn very purple, and the smell has gotten a lot sweeter.

    As of today we are on day 29 of flower, it's probably going to last 56 days or so from what I've read about this strain.

    So at long last, here is another update. We stopped using Bio Flores today, so we are using Bio Boost, Rhizatonic, Cannazym, Purplemaxx, and molasses. At the next watering on Wednesday or so we will start using Gravity as well. We are planning on flushing in two weeks doing a 2 step flush...

    Molasses in the last 2 weeks of flowering

    When I use molasses, I stop using it 2 weeks before harvest, right after I flush. The whole point of flushing 2 weeks before harvest is so that the plant uses up all the starches and sugars it has stored in its reserves, because that is what makes the smoke harsh. I do a 2 step flush where I...

    Hey guys, just got back from spring break in Cabo, it was amazing but I missed my children haha. We'll have some pics up later today when the light turns on, they are starting to turn purple a bit on the leaves. We are having some weird problems with yellowing though, looks like N deficency...

    The room is about 8x8x10 or so. As far as the light mover goes...wish we had done it. For those of you who are debating one, DO IT. We currently rotate our plants every 3 days to try to even out the lighting but still ask myself the "what if..." about the mover. The window box has a 2x4 frame...

    Are you referring to the yellowing we had before? Right now the plants only look yellow because we have a crappy camera and the HPS bulb. We think that the plants directly under the light got some bleaching, so we started rotating them more often.

    So this update will be the last one for about a week or so, as we are going on spring break and will be leavin town. A good friend will be taking care of them in the mean time, but he won't be snapping photos. Here's some pictures of the carbon filter we just hooked up today, since these babies...
