This is a past grow that I just finished. But it’s a beautiful one. I’m hoping to recreate and show y’all the process.
Can’t seem to get things to upload
took the cutting from this to an earthbox.
Key things to note: this was my second time growing her. So I had some knowledge. She is a spaghetti stemmed lady who can’t hold up the weight of her buds. So I took her from this and spread her out. Completely laid her down as flat as possible.

Also this is the Acai Gelato from Sherbinskis. Aka Gelato 49
at this point she started to get out of control and a little difficult to tie down. I only had a handful of my larger staples and a bunch of smaller ones. But also this gelato and others I’ve grown tend to flop. She would do great with a trellis. I have grown her 3 times and never used a trellis. Lol silly I know.
Also this was my first grow with an earthbox and my god they’re fantastic. The shape makes it super easy to train cannabis. Unless you’re doing mainlining and/or from seed your cannabis plant tends to grow out words and upwards. The rectangle is efficient In a grow tent in my opinion and the watering is nice. It’s similar to my drip irrigation but complete opposite. They both have a reservoir that I have to fill pretty much the exact same as eachother. Same times too

That’s super cool dude, very nice training. I’m interested in starting to incorporate cover crops and transition to lving soil, and was wondering what yours are and if you prefer some legumes over others because of more pronounced beneficial effects, or anything, and if you also use grasses and/or oats. Thanks for sharing!

I have mostly only ever used clover cover crops. For my living soil, I took a bunch of ocean forest soils that id been buying and decided to reuse it and I added some worms to the old soils and now I reuse them. I haven’t quite accomplished no till yet but I have old tubs of old soil with worms that are absolutely proliferous in them. My starter pots are living soil even. I’ll have to upload a picture. But I mostly just added worms and in my old tubs I put the stems and other things in there and let the worms eat it and the old roots. It’s been super easy and it seems to just be getting better

Thanks dude, that’s smart adding the worms in the old soil to recycle. Yea clover seems the most popular and was first on my list. From what I’ve glanced at it seems white clover may be the best type if clover? I’m settling on mostly white clover for the increased nitrogen availability, and some buckwheat for increased phosphorus availability. I appreciate you writing back!

I believe what I used was just plain red clover. I got it in the garden section at Walmart, it’s meant for pollinators I believe. Another one that I have and will be using this year is a clover mix, I believe it has like 12 different clovers or something.
No worries on the replies, I’m here and will be active

here we are roughly 1 week into flower and she is stretching like crazy. At this point she started to be a little unmanageable

For videos check out my playlist called Earthbox vs gelato. The playlist makes it close to a seed to harvest. It’s beautiful to see the full transition

Yes I run plants that like it on low vpd and as you can see she’s absolutely loving the extra humidity. Ran her and cap junky on 1.0 and 1.1 kpa

This was also when she starts to flop. She always does this around week 3-4 also around this time I do my first feed of roots organics uprising foundation which is a cal mag iron sulfer amendment.
Cannabis needs cal mag desperately around weeks 3-5 roughly. Calcium is the building block of plant cell walls so it is probably one of the most important feed times in my opinion.
Yes potassium and phosphorus are important as well.
