I put a number of amendments into the Earthbox. Put more of the same mixture in water on Friday to prepare for being gone all weekend. We are close. I see imperfections.

Water and feeding still in the Earthbox. Water uptake has slowed way down.

Added supplemental lighting, they came two weeks later than I expected. LED Depot man. But At least we have them now so we can see what they end up doing for us. My plants are getting close to being done. Just start inspecting trichomes and we will know soon! Not much to do as the plants have slowed their drinking.
Very exciting, happy growing, looking forward to follow your progress.
I always wanted to plant on soil, but coco is so convenient for indoor, I know it's only excuses.
Glad you mentioned the auto pod system, did not know I wanted that 😂
At the Moment I am using an drip irrigation system that is mounted directly on top of the reservoir, but I had a lot of issues, automated moisture sensors suck, never saw a functional system, even the capacitive ones, they just drift over time, no way an Arduino will work reliability with that.
Also the plants tend to stick their fingers into the cookie jar, as their roots will grow straight into the reservoir, turning my drip irrigation into a full blown deep water system.
Luckily aerating the tank always protected me against root rot.
@DaddyGreenThumb, thank you I appreciate you checking in on me. Day 53 today and I got my journal caught up. They are so pretty and I have been so fortunate not to deal with any issues, deficiencies or anything really. My biggest issue has been defoliation and late LST. I want to remove fan leaves but am a firm believer in them needing to be around to catch those rays.
I’ve taken a few off but by bit to help focus energy on the tops without stunting growth. We shall see in the end!
@RegularWizardCo, i feel you, growing can take a lot of time from you so choosing a style that fits your needs is super important! I also work with light living soil/organic because its easy, fun and works so well! Still waiting for your harvest details🙃 cheers from Germany
@Falscher_Hase_069, Thank you so much! It took me months to decide how I was going to grow but when I landed on BAS Earthbox grow, I knew that was it. It had to be automated enough I could just check on them once a day if need be. My schedule with family, kids, work, sports is too much to try and learn any other way. It has been an amazing experience. I am done and curing so I will post the last entries for the journal tomorrow at the latest. Smells wonderful and my harvest was bigger than expected! I am lucky it went the way it did. I had issues arise and it was awesome learning experience. I am hooked 100%. Thanks again!
@gottagrowsometime, I appreciate the love! I thought maybe it stretched a bit farther than I wanted but I know the bud sites will fill the length of the stalk. This plant just beasts out and is constantly surprising me. Looking forward to the finish line for sure.
