so my first attempt at making LABs didn’t go so well. I made half a pint of rice wash water let it sit for 3 days. The smell had changed a bit, didn’t seem sweet or putrid. Not sure if it was ready or not. To it I added 2 1/2 pints of milk. I think I was supposed to just use a touch of the rice wash water not the whole half a pint? Needless to say I’ll be starting over D56F80C6-A18A-4B66-B3BC-C392F1C5A961.jpeg

Yeah you would definitely want some kind of tray with a drain, going to a drain in the house somewhere.
Got enough room in the bathtub for your sips? Could get an adapter that screws on where your shower head does for a garden hose. Run splitters on the hose, with a piece of hose into the fill tube of each res. Then just turn the water on a slow trickle.
But then you would have to set up your lights in there. Probably more of a pain than it's worth.

Really not a bad idea though. Very creative.

Just a funny way of spelling boy is all lol but yeah I'm trying out some no till, I might stir the mix up before my next round in order to add better aeration in the form of pumice and or rice hulls. I was still using perlite when I started this soil so need to change that up. Probably add a bunch of co Loco too. But then going to try to just use cover crop and ferments and the like from then on as long as I can.

I added the milk directly to my rice wash water at 10-1. It looks like he pours some, but not all, of his rice wash water to the milk. IDK. Maybe it’s my temps. The room it was in sits around 65. I’m definitely going to try again, not planning on paying for EM1 forever!

Oh yeah they were sick and not happy with me. My earthbox brought them back to health though. The EB actually spoke and told me, “Just go back upstairs and leave us alone. I will straighten this out for you.“ LOL.

here’s my journal-

Earthbox Sour Diesel Clone Run

Received clone 2/16/22 and planted in 1 gallon of roots organic and watered with 6.5ph RO water pretty much cooked my plant by having the space heater too close. What a dope. March 3rd- putting out some new leaves looking a little better Transplanted to an Earthbox 3/5 Magnesium lockout...
