Yesterday I mixed up about four cubic feet of a water only soil recipe for these Earth Boxes. I made due with what amendments I had, but bought some mushroom compost instead of using my vermicompost. I was about four gallons short on the Sphagnum peat moss, but it does expand a bit when hydrated. I added about an extra gallon of perlite to make up for it, but it is still likely a little bit of a hot mix. I covered the planters and am letting them compost for about 30 days. The plan is for my brother to use them outside to grow some autos. I’m thinking we will put about two or three feminized autos in each planter in the first of June and all he will have to do is add water when the tube is empty.
Remember the Solo’s Stash that I couldn’t tell sex on? Well, it’s still not showing female, but also not clustering around the flower site either. I went ahead and put that one and the the runt in the QT tent under 12/12 for the next two nights. That should help encourage them to show. I also cleaned up the GG4 RIL pollen from the tent and rinsed off the GFOG moms. Right now, I think I’ll top and clone the known female and take it from there. I need a minimum of three good sized females for the beds. It also helps if they are the similar size. I do have plenty of GFOG clones, but that was my last production run and I still have plenty hash rosin from that.
