Paulg’s Earthbox Jr run

Well here we are on the new site! I closed out my other journals and ready to get going on a new grow.

I’m a small tent hobbyist. In the past I would grow up to four plants in my 2.3x2.3 tent. Since changing to the EBJr and scrog ,I’m only doing one plant at a time. Risky business! Something goes wrong and you’re f’ed. Fortunately, I haven’t had any issues on my EBJr grows. My previous grows produced 6.5 and 7 ounce harvests. That more than meets my needs by allot! For this grow I’m doing an old friend, Blueberry Mazar. I’ve had good success growing this in the past. My yields were around 90 grams. So, I will be interested to see if my new grow style brings better results.

I condition my own organic soil with Build a Soil additives, red wigglers and organic matter. I also add worm castings, Dynamyco and LABS. I’ll add a little Vitamin C to off gas the chloramines. I follow the basic plan given to me by @WildBill. The “plan” is to keep it simple!
So far, she’s off to a good start.

Nice! Which company is it from?

It was from Homegrown Cannabis. Some of the first seeds I bought. I have many other interesting seeds but I want to see if my EBJr yields better results. Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve started filling the reservoir after drawdown. The plan is to wait until the reservoir is empty, wait about 12 hrs, then refill. This should encourage the roots to grow into the reservoir. I no longer top the plant. I find it unnecessary with scrog net growing. I tied the main stem down. I want the lower branches reaching upwards asap. A little bit of leaf tucking. Adjusted the dli to 30. That’s about it! Thanks for stopping by.

How can you tell the res is empty on the EBs? Can you see in the fill pipe easy? This might be a dumb question that is obvious once you have one in front of you.

Pure analog, no AI! I marked the dip stick at 1 5/8”.

Oh so you stick an actual “stick” down the pipe and see how much is in there! hahahaha, so simple. That’s smart.

She’s doing great! I’ve been letting the reservoir run dry before refilling, to encourage the roots to grow. I’ve been adding LAB to the dechloraminated water. I added aeration to the feed tube. I added the scrog net. This plant is growing fast. Very much ahead of my last two EBJr grows. Thanks for stopping by!
