Wow that came out amazing.

This is the same box the guy over at BAS uses right? What is it called exactly?
Yep. It's called an earthbox. It's just a sub irrigated planter. They can be diy'ed. Takes the guesswork out of watering and gives pretty much the perfect moisture level to the soil. Plus water roots hit the res and the plants will really take off. Very hydro like in growth.

Looks interesting, will look into them if not too expensive.

It's been a while since I saw your thread @Marq1340 it's looking real nice!
Tracker!

Thanks man. Not having to travel to water or what not takes a lot of hassle out of it.

Feels like I'm losing my grip on things in the later stages though, I'm pulling at least five completely dead leaves almost daily from the lower portion.

Cobs aren't on a timer and I'm starting to get careless with them and it's costing me.

These lights are often about 3-8" away. I usually only run them six hours per day but I've left them on longer multiple times, once through lights out.....

I have one of those single plug timers somewhere, I'll have to find that shit so I can remove human error from this.

I felt like I've been underwatering the ladies for a while now, so I went ahead and double checked my numbers and sadly I was right.


During mid/late veg I was watering them with 17oz or so of water when I should have been giving them around 23oz


late veg/mid flower I've been doing 32oz and I should be around 46.


Not sure how I fucked that up but will do better moving forward.
