What size pot/pots in a 3x3?

They also require oxygen to do so. A humidity dome over soil sounds like a great way to bread anaerobic bacteria in your medium, which isn't a good thing.

Is not completely airtight.

It holds double the soil. My only complaint about the earthbox so far. It's not very big.

This one says it holds 2 cu. ft.

Yes, your comment was funny to me. Having that cover over isn't gonna make the soil go anaerobic. To me that's funny, lol.

Soil doesn't "go anaerobic", but less oxygen in your soil will indeed breed more anaerobic bacteria, which are more likely to be pathogenic.

 

[Hollatchaboy]

That's funny to you @PadawanWarrior ?

It's all good bro. He knows how poor oxygen levels create anaerobic conditions, but he knows how the earthbox works, and if you do it right, that doesn't happen. I wouldn't praise it if it did. I'm not that good of a grower, but imo it really works.

Ahh OK. Does that kill off the living mulch?

I was worried it was something like this, lol.

It can be used to smother it yes

I feel like it could hold more but idk

Hmm.. he didn't seem to know what that cover we are now discussing is all about, since he was asking questions about it. Have fun with it if it works for you, but I personally wouldn't cover a living soil with non-porous plastic, which is why landscape cloth is specifically made to be breathable.

I knew the answer. Just was trying to be polite. Plants need light to live, lol.

Here's a pic ofmine after I added the bag of 3.0 when I first got it.....



After top dressing thru a lil veg and flower, it was over the top in the center. Lol

Lol he knows he probably high...

Not all plants do. Broomrapes as an example don't.

Read up on it, you'll understand. I didn't like it at first either.

Probably???

What should I read up on that my soil science text didn't cover?

Never heard of a Broom rake. Is that a witch thing?

Those super cheap $2 extendable curtain rods work great for the tent walls. I had a bunch lying around and made X crossings on each of my walls. Even the door wall has an X. Solved the negative pressure issue.

Suit yourself. I'm not telling you what to do and if you don't like what you're hearing, you could easily remove yourself. I'm not pushing anything on you. I'm just explaining my experience.

I'm not sure what you think I'm missing, or what I should read. I'm willing to enlighten myself. You are saying that it works fine? I'm not saying that it doesn't work fine for you, I'm saying that there are better options. I'm not telling you what to do and if you don't like what you're hearing, you could easily remove yourself.

That said, I'm out for a bit myself.
