ETHOS Grandpa's Stash R2 Earthbox

Great week where I was able to accomplish several tasks required prior to flipping to flower. As the plant resembled a hosta, I needed to defoliate, and top. I also was able to provide a "pre-flower" top dressing that consisted of Build a Soil Craft Blend, freshly milled sprouted Gnarley Barley, Build a Flower top dressing, earth worm castings from Michigan Worm Works, and an innoculation of Beauveria Bassiana. It's a first to try this to further prevent pests from the soil disturbing the plant. When the microscopic spores of the fungus come into contact with the body of an insect host, they germinate, penetrate the cuticle, and grow inside, killing the insect within a matter of days. Afterwards, a white mold emerges from the cadaver and produces new spores. A typical isolate of B. bassiana can attack a broad range of insects. Added additional information with the pictures. Will start training this week and throw into flower, next week.
