Earthbox tip! Stick a large wood skewer into a wine cork and drop it into the watering tube while the resivour is empty. Mark the spot just above the top of the watering tube on the skewer and now you have a way to really push the roots to drink almost every bit of water in the resivour and refill the water before the Rez goes completely dry. Trust me, you will get dramatic results by extending your dryback instead of constantly topping off the resivour which will increase the chance of your earthbox going anerobic and stinky.
thanks!
That’s a great idea.
I just wait until it’s totally empty to refill it
Good idea. I got some Growtech buckets that used to have corks for the floats to let us know when to add water but since then they’ve upgraded the markers. But yes a great ideas. Marks should be sddd to the skewer at 4 intervals to mark each level.
just look down the tube lol
35 days into my 1st Earthbox with an Autoflower. Wow insane growth! I’m hooked. I sucked at watering BAS in pots. It’s a learning curve going organic. ✌🏻
1gal were my enemies before I hit the earth boxes!
I have a similar size tub filled with soil sat on the lid and I can bottom water and it wicks it up and I also top dress with only the best organic in coco amendments, it super healthy apart from a little burn on a handlfil of leaves, I have mulch on the top and feeder roots have already fully flooded the top and the rest of the tub which is clear but I have cover over it. Blue gelato41 buds developing! 😎😍🙏🏼✌🏼✌🏼
I Planted a clone in my first earth box about a month ago! Holy shit that's all I can say. There's a good video with Kevin Jodrey talking about growing cannabis in the earthbox
With organics it’s better to water more frequently but not as much in volume.
Example in 5 gallon drain to waste coco I water till run off every 4th day taking just over 2 gallons to get true run off.
In 5 gallons with dry amendments i water a about a half gallon every other day. Sometimes it’s s half gallon sometimes it’s a 1 qaurt and a pint. You want the soil to be moist but not saturated and avoiding dry back.
I have one complaint about these videos…DO NOT WATCH THEM WHILE YOU ARE WORKING!!! You won’t get anything done because these videos are so damn awesome! Thank you Jeremy you kick ass! Bro
Lmao !!!! It's very true
I always yell “*gasp* BUILDASOIL” when y’all upload, you’re important to a lot of peoples lives doing these episodes, I feel like I’m there with y’all and learning with yall, thank y’all so much
Hahah yes!!! I just did the same thing
I wait for his videos too lol!
4 y'alls and a clear love for the comma. Respect.
Y’all
Next time I want to try the build a soil and the top dress that's pre mixed. So much easier and has everything you need.If wanted you could just add the one or two things that are your favorite or what not.
I got two Earth Boxes because of BuildASoil season 2. I was amazed at the rate of growth. I’m two weeks from finish and I already have two more on deck to fill the 4x8. Thanks for so much useful knowledge Jeremy and Gwen! Y’all and the crew rock!
I'm so glad you're doing this. This is exactly how I've chosen to grow, after watching your first two 10x10 series. And so far, it's killing it. I have 4 Earthboxes, so growing 8 plants, in a staggered cycle. So, I planted 4, waited six weeks or so, and planted 4 more in the other two boxes. Harvested the first 4, and planted again this week. The first four plants are in jars now and they're among the best herb I've ever had, (Mephisto, Barney's Farm, and Ethos) and I've been a smoker for 30 years. My second set is flowering beautifully. I love that I can have seedlings, vegging, and flowering plants in the same room under the same lights, they never change, I don't need a separate veg space, and all I ever have to do is top dress and bottom water. It's the easiest, most convenient way I can imagine to do this, and doing it fully organic just makes it that much better. I used to grow in 3gallon bags, mixing bottled nutes and PH'ing water every day. This is a life upgrade. I know I have more to learn from seeing this series, but I just wanted to say - I really appreciate it!
Heavy smokers love perpetual growing.
Very cool reading your story, and grats. Just curious do you get away with not ph-ing your water at all anymore?
Cheers!
@@BushiestBesver I don't pH at all, no. My tap is filtered, and it comes out at about 7.5, but the soil handles that job.
@@jasonm5162 neat! thanks for the quick and clear reply. I’m going to give this a try in one my pots…
This is my new favorite channel on CZcams. I'm a new grower I'm only on my second grow and I'm loving every second of it. I was using nature's living soil and it seemed to work great. But now after watching B.A.S videos, I definitely need to get me a earthbox. When I decided to grow my own medicine I said to myself I'm never going to use synthetic nutrients only all organic. I'm so glad I found this channel. Your the absolute best Build-A-Soil. 💚
My first year for auto’s growing in my greenhouse.I planted them in my 5 x 10 worm bed, my soil is fantastic and my plants are looking great and the aroma is killer.I raise Lady Bug in my house also. Growing autos so far is a lot of fun..Like your videos vary Informative
No matter how many seasons you watch there is always something new to learn. Both you and your wife do an amazing job!!!
Been Earth Boxing since the mid 90's. Great way to Go/Grow!!
Earthboxing since the 90s 😂😂😂 I love that
Just got my earthboxes, just found out a buddies business is carrying buildasoil....excited for that.
I appreciate you going through the trouble of growing autos. I know I asked quite a few times about them. About 2 weeks from harvest on my first indoor grow with autos....Have to say its been fun think in the long run will make me a better grower cause of the strict time frame....Photo period next though...never realized you could send them into flower sooner...🤯. Makes perfect sense though after thinking about it. Much respect and love what your doing mister.
Got my earthbox all set up about to put my autos in and i cant wait!!! Thank you buildasoil!
2 per Earthbox works great with most autos but some of them will get way bigger than you would think. Those do better in the Earthbox Root and Veg at one per pot. You can treat the Earthboxes like a no-till bed for at least 2, sometimes 3, full runs before you really need to dump and reamend the soil. You'll need to top dress for flower and maybe some light foliar feeding to make it 3 runs, but these SIPs work really well with autos.
Sounds clever. Never heard of earth box's and am organic but autos don't need no till as they are too fast. Your method seems like the best of both. Also like the idea of slow release over 3 or more runs before tilling.
I love the fact you decided to do 2 different light cycles for the autos. I haven't grown an auto since 2014 and was garbage back then; I recently won some mephisto and popped 1. I'm unsure what light cycle i'm gonna use, i test photos for s breeder, so have to have 12/12 flower space, looking forward to seeing the difference between the 2 cycles and results that come from em! Thanks Jeremy and BaS fam!
I say good rest it like a photo my guy and if you run it with a photo then it is a side projec
Autos really need more than 12 hours light to get to max potency
@@anthonychiappalone7745 Yea ik but not really growing the auto for anything, like im just growing it for shits and giggles, I grow photo's for potency, just growing this to smoke something different. the strain is double grape x skywalker f2 so hopefully get some grape terps
@@camthecannaman Mephisto Double Grape is right up there with the Best auto strain available
@@stangcobra592 Thats what I heard and one only reason I decided to grow it. if it was just some other auto I'd probably give it away lol
I love the variety of experiments being done in one season. Pretty much the same experiments i had planed to do that would have taken me a handful of cycles to get, do to room.
Thanks for the video and keep them coming.
You guys got the most hand-on information rich content on youtube..👍🏻🙏🏻
Wooooooo! Outstanding! Love the series, been following along for the last 2 seasons and every episode is packed full of the amazing info. I truly appreciate it, and always look forward to the next one. Thanks Jeremy and the amazing team at Build A Soil for everything
I love your level of knowledge and the way you present it. I wish others would do the same and I'm about to try build a soil for the 1st time.
Daz, You better ramp up seed production!. It’s already blowin up, but 85 days from now… Boy. This series is going to cost me a premium membership at the seed bazaar lol🤣. Been able to get by with out one until now, but with this series and the popularity😅… 🦉🔥
The premium exclusives during the V-day drop were worth it alone but I definitely agree it’s about to get harder to get them. Glad I stocked up the past few drops!!
Seed Bazaar? Can you point in the direction of this seed bazaar?
I run mepthios cdlc ghost toof forum stomper
Autoflowers are very convenient and they have come a long way but I will agree with you I don't feel like they get you a stoned they definitely have their place in the garden but with that being said I think you nailed it once you said it doesn't hit your head
2 things. 1. I would love to know about his history of nightowl seeds/Daz. 2. I'm concerned that 2 in one box might be too much! I think you are in for a fun ride, Jeremy. I'm super excited. You are going to crush it out of the park!
Can always visit the r/NightOwlSeeds subreddit!
Daz is also GBD on some forums and did some work with Mephisto years ago, namely Cosmic Queen and Sour Stomper he made. Cosmic Queen is Spacedawg(TGA) x Chemdogging and Sour Stomper is Grapestomper OG x Sour Crack. Photo x Auto projects have to be worked for a minimum of 3 generations before becoming fully auto.
The first episode of the darkhorse Genetics show is an interview with Daz that goes over a lot of it. The Bruce Banner 3 Auto in the Strawberry Milk&Qookies auto is a collab he did with darkhorse's original Bruce Banner 3 clone, and everything it's been crossed to has been ridiculously frosty. Myself and some other people I showed it to thought it was pics of Harry Palms' Grape Cream Cake clone.
He's really doing amazing work in the auto industry.
His three original staple strains are Zamaldelica Express(Zamal x Malawi x Meao Thai x Fantasmo Express), Wizards Apprentice(Cheech Wizard x Skywalker), and Blue Microverse( 24Carat x Blue Magoo Bx2) and all are amazing in their own way.
@@homegrowntwinkie Damn Dude, thank you for taking the time to explain off of this. I haven't gotten into subreddit yet. Don't know much about it. I'm definitely excited to see this run in the earth boxes.
Been growing these Nightowl strains for sometime and taking photographs. Daz has got it going on. This is gonna be a fun one
Very cool. I felt the same when i grew a few autos years ago. Until recently Bill Ward's YT channel (and his sweet looking autos) has me thinking of giving it another go. Autos have certainly improved over the past few years. I'm looking forward to this series and the overall outcome opinions. Thank you Jeremy!
Go over to Merch grows and have a look at his stuff he does a lot different kinds of experiments and is breeding autos and giving the seeds away
@@billhatcher2984 Thanks!👍
@@billhatcher2984 "Merch grows" Who knew? The first image I saw was enough for me to begin thinking about rotations of autos and photos. I see the potential!
@@billhatcher2984 🤙🤙
Jam packed with so much good information! I like how you don’t even look to sell products only, you look to educate and provide tools
Good job. I love how you're using the scientific method and doing all this A/B testing just to see what happens.
Man I'm so excited great deal on autos we all grown now
I absolutely can't wait for all this content, man. Not enough people do side-by-side comparisons with autos under different light schedules to highlight just how much autos depend on more light.
Think Daily Light Integral in order to achieve your optimum light schedule for your strain type. I always give my autos time to transpire/rest in an optimum VPD environment. I’ve settled on 18/6 or 20/4 depending on the Autoflower cultivar and get excellent results.
I am so excited to see this experiment! I have a feeling the autos are going to impress. Gotta be way better than flowering a photoperiod from sprout, but I guess we will find out!
Good to see you here !!!😂🙏👌💨💨💨💨
Define "better"
Absolutely stoked for the 12/12 auto earth box vrs 18/6. Thank you.
So stoked to follow this along. Autos and earth boxes seem like a match made in heaven. Definitely want to try this with my autos!
A partnership between you and daz could be the start of something beautiful. Would love to see a tailored line of soil that pairs perfectly with autoflowers. This is going to become so much better in the future, the possibilities are endless!
I love how honest and humble this channel is! And I learn a lot from your videos, thank you! Big love from Portugal ❤
I myself have only done autoflowers and I'll say after switching to BOS 3.0 they have exploded and way better then my previous runs so thanks for that but I will add I started photos for the first time and I'm a home grower so the autos are currently under 12/12 and still rocking!
My first buildasoil purchase was a earthboxback. Back in 2013 if I'm remembering correctly and it still like new despite it just sitting around a couple of years here and there.
Can't wait to see how the Autos do in Earthboxes. When it comes to lighting for autos I'm a little odd. I've been doing 16/8 to save a little electricity plus it works well with my schedule.
I grow RocBud Autos in Earthboxes, Earthbox Juniors and am ordering GroBuckets this week. I use 18/6 too and my plants are extremely vigorous, put out great results/weight.
I have had green onion perpetual growing for over 8 years, in an Earth Box. They are amazing for any growing.
Oh I’m excited for the different light schedule experiment with the autos. Thank you for this🙏🏿
I find myself checking multiple times a day for new videos😫never stop guys! Such great content.
Love this channel cause even tho I'll never EVER use auto flowers, I always learn ONE lil thing that sets off a bright light bulb in my head for my own personal use and room... ty! Earth boxes on the next grow, I'm thinkin
Only suggestion I would make is adding something to lightly circulate or oxidize the water maybe a set of small air stone through the over flow hole of that water goes stagnant that root rot waiting to happen
Love you guys hope I could help thank you for everything
Is not DWC just wait till reservoir is completely dry
Yes! Autos in an EarthBox! I've been waiting weeks to grow along with you. My EB is up and running and cover crop. I'll be planting in the next few days. I'm hoping for about 3/4 pound.
I love the experimental aspect of growing so I really appreciate what you’re doing. Plants, especially this one, are so cool
You really sound the home from back in the day!! Uve been around. I love it.
Really looking forward to learning the earth box! Your stuff is always the most informative. Ty
I love the tests with the autos.
Super stoked to see the side by side haven't ever ran autos watched all kinds of videos though super stoked to see this one so much knowledge coming from y'all folks. Much love to the buildasoil family keeping doing what y'all do.
Excellent videos Jeramy. Any beginner should watch you stuff. It’s the best content out there.
Just purchased a earthbox yesterday, super excited about it
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I have learned just enough to be really dangerous in the grow tent! 'Looking forward to this grow. A wealth of data to be gathered, as well! 'Love all the variables! Enjoy! Be safe!
So happy this has finally come to fruition!! Autos and earthboxes absolutely rage!! Further more... All Daz's gear is by far the top of the mountain when it comes to autos in my opinion. Unbelievable quality compared to what autos used to be, and a lot of the times still are depending on breeder. Very excited so see how this all goes with all the info being collected here. I also only usually run 1 plant per earthbox.. some strains play well together, and some of them tend to have 1 dominate plant in my experiences. As always.. thanks for letting us float in this river of knowledge. Love to feel the current picking up🙏🏻♻️🌱☯️🤙🏼💚
Thxu so much for all the knowledge you have shared🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
What the hell is goin here
I feel like this has been a fraud prize!!
What is going on????!!!!
This is going to be a great study/experiment! Looking forward to the future of this season.
Love this experiment you’re doing with the autos, and especially the way you’re doing it. Will be super interesting to see the results.
Great job as ever. 👍
🏴🇺🇸
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and resources Jeremy, I'm loving what I'm learning!
Hey Jeremy, I just wanted to say thank you for making and continuing to make these amazing videos. They have been so influential in growing my interest and knowledge of this topic (not just growing weed but any plant in general). I cannot thank you enough, unfortunately I can’t order any products since I’m in Australia but I will continue to like every video you guys put out
These are my favourite videos on CZcams!
I agree. Fantastic teachers are rare thing on YT.
i am so stoked for these. i have just had an earthbox harvest and it was my biggest yet. totally eclipsed the 10 gal i had with the same cut! im a fan of these things! curious to see how the autos go and may need to run one for just those all the time!! great video!
Cheers Growmies Looking Good 👍🤟💚💚💚💚
Very cool earth boxes are looking very cool I use knf principals in container gardening bcs of density here... 👍 job RESPECT 🙏💯
My Earth Boxes have been in the sun since 2010 !!! They do last forever 😀
Dude I literally got my first EARTHBOX maybe two months ago and instead of waiting for the seeds i ordered planted an og kush clone into some craft soil HOLY SHIT! That's all I can say.
Jeremy's beard is slowly progressing to mountain man over the course of season 3.. hah.
build a beard :)
@@ed6700 LOL
Thanks Jeremy. Good stuff as always.
Absolute best info and easiest to understand. You guys rock!
I love your vids i been on a hunt to find someone like you to really dive deep and teach me from a beginner stage bc no one really has knowledge and can display it and talk about it how you do thank you! I binged all 3 seasonsons im slowly catching up to this years season!
I bought auto flower seeds because of you. Lol. First time trying the auto flowers, I got some poison OG auto flower fems from Swerve. This should be fun
I have recently swapped over from Rain Science grow bags to Earthbox systems running the BAS Take and Bake soil. I have two Mephisto Auto's per box and honestly think they are too large to share a container. About to get my 2nd tent rolling, just waiting on some new Earthboxes to be delivered.
What size earthbox? Reg or the jr?
@@Southern_Solventless I used Regular sized EBs. Primary tent had 5 Reg EB with 10 total seeds started. Lost one on transplant, had another stunt out hard leaving a primary plant and a runt in one. Ultimately, I did not have the space needed in the tent to properly train or maintain them and the plants suffered because of it. 5 EB in a 5X5 with fans and humidifier doesn't leave much room and next run I will drop back to only 4 or maybe even just 3. I missed not being able to properly reach the back row of plants.
Love all the content.. This is probably the only episode that I could tell that u smoked one before ... had some magic fingers going✨️ . So much information every episode.. much appreciated.
I’m so excited you are doing an Autoflower grow. I did one about 8-10 years ago, it was not for me. Poor quality and yield. But now i am about to start my second AF with all the new genetics available. I will be a couple of weeks behind you.
amazing... autoflowers and earthboxes!! great idea great episone thank you!!!
Lookin forward to this. Thanks!
Great idea 🌱☀️🌳👌
Super excited can't wait as always awesome content
I'm loving this series, I'm bingeing the episodes and looking forward to see the results of this experiment
Excellent content as always, Really excited for this series man.. Auto's in Earth boxes is going to be awesome!!
Interested to watch the direct sow for the earth boxes, the domes look like they're perfect for 2 plant per box. The cycle comparison will also be some awesome data, hope for the best on the strains, they sound righteous!
I'm planting veggies in EarthBoxes that are over 10-years old; they last a while!
Once again love the content. Deffo will be looking into earth boxes here. Thank you as always Jeremy
I switched to earthboxs and bas 3.0 about a month and a half ago and they are spectacular absolutely amazing results.
This is exciting!
Very knowledgeable. Favorite channel 👍👍
This guy is brilliant. Like actually. Not just really or very smart. Actually brilliant.
So I was thinking about how you pack the dirt in the wicking corners and I think I'd stuff a couple of cardboard tubes (TP or paper towel) full of soil for insurance and then still pack some soil around them just to be sure they can't wash out completely.
I was also thinking about cutting a paper grocery bag to fit the bottom so that you don't lose a bunch of soil through the screen but then you said it's never an issue so I guess it doesn't matter. Lol
i just use soil for the wick and it works great.
I love my Earthboxes. I recently made some out of storage totes because it's way less expensive than buying them. Plus I wanted deeper boxes. So far they're kicking ass. Wicking bed is another name for them.
Lowe's sells a version called Patio Pickers and they have a bigger model that's 20x20" I think. You could fit 3 autos in one easily. I was given 4 of them and they're great for smaller photo period plants. I'd like to try autos in them.
Just got my 2x Earthbox's the other week.... Packed them with BuildaSoil 3.0.... Gonna be growing a Sour Diesel in one and Harlequin in the other....Loyal to the Soil! :-)
Love earth boxes especially in the greenhouse ,Autos , interesting 👍🏻👍🏻 autos seem like they may have a hardiness to them that the photos might not have ,thinking about running autos too good video
I just finished up a successful Coco grow using autos in autopots.
I'm excited to see what your methods come up with.
been using the living soil recipe in my 6'x6'x18" square vegetable beds. The build a soil way😁
WOW
thanks never knew this ,Blessings you and your wife sharing thanks 🌻🌼🤟
I'm really excited for this series. You're gonna love that SM&Q.
I'm really interested in how the lighting schedule works out. I've heard recently that under 12/12 but with more intense lighting autos during the flowering cycle may actually do better than the same intensity light at a longer time because of DLI and all that, which makes a lot of sense tbh.
Jeremy,I grew out funk mtn by bloomseeds,tremendous yield,thought in trying early was weak as hell. Low and behold..a full 12 weeks and it's killer smike,euphoric,nt couchlock just stellar!!
Love it all.I tried some net pots a friend of mine made and i couldn't believe how much faster and healtheir the plants grew in the nags.I used an earth box years ago and it worked great on some tomato plants i had in it.Im defenetly going to try earth boxes again and im going to try auto's.love your videos bro keep them coming.PEACE.
I just bought earth boxes for my next run. This was incredibly helpful. Thanks!
Cool show 👏
Great content, thank you so much for sharing this precious information. Just one question, are you planning to do some kind of training for the autoflowers? If so, could you please tell us more about it?
Thank you very much!
Love to hear info on DLI and VPD for autos, if different from photos. 🤙🤙
I've had the same issues with autos! I hope this changes my mind and if love try them one more time just hate spend the money unless there going be this because I can't clone them
Big up Jeremy man.
Very next video you answered my earthbox question, much thanks! Still have the 2 deeper square earth boxes around so will probably still experiment with them before they get set up for veggies outside in case they don't work well in the tent for the next 2 plants in my 4x4. My 4x8 has 6 of the shallows about to be flipped so will be nice to see them side by side in action, been loving them aside from the spacing and getting in to defol with my trellis up.
Full of information!!! Great Job J!
To everyone at Build a Soil,
Much love from the Seattle area,
I have wanted to grow my own herb since I was a teenager and I could no longer convince my Mom/Grandma the plant
I started from a bag seed in my closet with the single grow bulb was “just a Japanese Maple”!?!?! 😂 We had to end that grow. Had no idea what I was doing but I can still remember the beauty and perseverance of that plant would just amaze me.
Always been good herb in Seattle. Some say indoor grows started here. But the laws here are different. 47% sales tax and no home grows allowed for recreational is pretty much how to explain it. We wonder where the money goes. Can’t wait for Federal Legalization.
I do now have a condition which qualifies me for medical and I have my license now. Finally, after 25 long years I’m able to grow 6 plants legally and I’m obviously very excited after having to wait for 25 years.
Thanks for all the great advice and knowledge you share here. Your channel is not the most entertaining of one’s like it but it’s definitely the most informative and will likely help me in my goals more than any other. I was heart set on hydro but after getting this far into your series I’m convinced to at least start off with living soil.
I have some debt to clear and a vacation right before the holidays to enjoy before I really get started, but I will likely be hitting you guys up for the next Black Friday sale to start gathering what I will need. I might even show up in person. It would be an honor to meet you guys.
Stay high!
