Chemdogging x Hubbabubbahaze D21

Growing in classic BAS living soil, blumat drip rings.

Just started to leaf tuck.

First time running BAS with 3.0 etc, very curious to see how the auto’s handle it.

Container size for mothers

whats good chat? quick question on keeping moms. I’ve got a 2x4 on the way. wanna keep two moms and have space left over to veg young starts. what size containers am I shooting for? I watched the video of Jeremy taking cuts from his moms and they looked like they were in fives but that seems too small to me. Moms dont need to be huge. No more than 9 cuts each every 12 weeks. Thanks for any suggestions.

Buildasoil and Grassroots pot

She's really growing good. Should I cover crop or just cover with New Moon cover?

It is Finally time, D77F

These are 2 strains we have been working with for a while and they are beyond stable. Run closer to 11 weeks. Grown in living organic soil. BAS amendments, Epsom salt, recharge, GW, EWC, Rootwise Trio and brewed teas.

Starting to look more complete

2/3 20 gallon beds are up and running, going to be putting roughly a month in between each one, once I’ve harvested I’ll give 3-4 weeks to do reamend and replant cover crops before the next round of plants goes in.

I know I went a little hard on the N with the first bed so I dialed it back for 2 and 3, I added my soil recipe/calculator in the last slide if anyone was curious(side note the soft/brown rock phosphate isn’t tablespoons I just had to enter it that way for a full dose so the math would work out on the calculator)

Full organic very close to veganic but I need/want the crab meal for pest control so I make that exception though veganic is 100% the way to go honestly could just use the neem and karanja if I didn’t want the crab meal but I found a good deal on 40lbs for 69 bucks of down to earth so i couldn’t resist that price if you know you know

How Am I Doing?

Hiya growmies! How am I looking? Day 62F and I'm starting to bring my temps down. I've been trying to keep it at 75F lights on(11hrs) and about 70F lights off(13hrs). I've noticed the color changing and am wondering if that's OK. It looks pretty but I'm not necessarily going for looks. I want to get the terps everyone talks about 😁

Buildasoil Light and 3.0. Top dressed when I flipped to flower and have been following the BAS supplemental feeding schedule. Currently on the ripening stage and only giving water with sugars(horticultural coconut powder).

Thanks for any and all input.

Reuse my 3.0

I am just finishing up a run in an earthbox and a couple 5 gallon pots. I used 3.0 for the run. I have some grass roots 20 gallons and BAS light coming. I plan to reuse and mix my 3.0 with the light. What’s else should I add? Calcium ? The big 6? Craft Blend?

🌱 Flower Time Babyyy 🌺

54 Days in Veg!! Probably could go a little longer but I’m ready to get this show on the road. I’m chomping at the bit to see how these babies turn out. My Girl Meadow, the Chesapeake bay retriever looks like she got in the stash but I promise she’s strait laced.

As a Marylander, I’m about 2-3 weeks out from getting my outdoor girls going. I’m putting a couple in the ground this year and want to see how big we can get em!!

I’m so stoked spring is here man. I hope everyone is enjoying their grow! Love yall!

Ohh no reveg

Somehow my light got from scheduled to on. Not sure for how many days but at least 2 I think. There is a chunk of history that is missing from my controller as well. What should I do

Question about 3.0

I'm planning on starting my 1st BAS grow using the 3.0 kit to build my own. Containers will be 2 sip totes with about 45 gallons of soil each. I'll be using all BAS products outside of worm castings. I'm mostly growing autos but will eventually run some photos. My question is with 3.0 being water only, do I top dress during run or just wait to reamend between runs? Do I need to purchase the top dress kit and the build a flower?

Wizard trees freebie Rainbow Runtz

Easy vigorous plant and starting to pack on a good amount of frost, terps are exactly how you would want a Runtz x rs11 to smell nice and loud. Pushing them to fatten up as much as possible but once again 3.0 for the win 🤙🏼

Late Veg’n My Cannabush

Good Afternoon Y’all!

It’s almost time to flip! I’m very happy with these 2 plants. Left is white widow, on the right is Hindu Kush. As predicted, the kush is more short & stout. I have the canopy’s almost even. All I gotta do now is thin out the riff raff and take some clones and I’ll be flippin in 2 days or so.

I’m very excited to see how these girls turn out. I’m expecting some big buds & a decent yield for 2 plants but only time will tell!

It’s funny, I remember when I first started posting my living soil bed & cover crops I was getting a lot of flack. People saying my cover crop was too much. “Why would you plant clover in your garden” 😂😂 Well look at em now!

Peep the mycelial growth on the cherry wood near the stalks. It’s going crazy.

Anyways! Thanks for reading. I wish everyone luck in their grows! ♥️

Cleaning an Earthbox with BAS

So my question is basically the title. I have 2 earthboxes with BAS. My previous grow ended 2 months ago. I'm preparing for another run.

I still had cover crop growing until about a month ago I chopped everything for the worms. But I wasn't thinking because I still had water in the reservoir and realized there's nothing to use it.

Water has sat stagnant since then. It also has fungus gnats and larvae in it. I just found a hand pump recently so I started removing the water for the tank to dry and the water reeks like sulfur or rotten eggs. It wasnt smelling until I started pumping.

I still have a little more to pump but it doesn't work great and my hands cramped. My goal is to empty reservoirs so they dry. But now they will need cleaned. I thought of using Mosquito bits in water and fill using that.

I'm hoping that will take care of the gnats. I also am going to top water with it. For the smell of bacteria, can I use something like EM-5 to sanitize it? I believe I saw a video where Jeremy used it to clean the tanks.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Too much cover crop?

Hi all!

First time growing in BAS and loving it so far. I went pretty heavy on the cover crop seeds. Is this too much? Do I need to thin it out? I've already trimmed it a few times.

Red Russian skunk -KOS

Buildasoil Light Mix

Euro Build-a-Soil 3.0 attempt for 3 autos in Autopot Tray2Grow (Belgium/Netherlands) – rate my shopping list?

Hey everyone, first time doing a proper living-soil mix for autos and I want to double-check everything before I order.

Goal: ~90+ litres of lightly charged Build-a-Soil 3.0 style mix for 3 Mephisto autos in a Tray2Grow + 47 L reservoir (lots of leftover for future amendments). Everything is sourced in BE/NL where possible for best prices. Webpages can be translated by right-clicking.
If everything looks good this might help other growers in Belgium and The Netherlands. Is the quality of the ingredients solid? Any swaps or red flags?

Full detailed shopping list with exact links + quantities + prices:
