So I just decided to order up some earth boxes.. I have always been intrigued to try them out .

My main question is now , how many plants could I fit in one earthbox ? I know most people usually just go for a single plant , but could I get away with using say 2-3 plants in a single box & a shorter veg?

I ordered the orginal size , it holds about 2cu feet of soil * allegedly * . If anyone has experience please lmk !

think im going to pop LA Confidential , NYC Diesel & SSH .

Shouldn't be a problem. My daughter runs multiple cannabis plants plus herbs and other stuff in theirs. Using super soil in her case. You're going to have to train or use a SCROG I imagine.

I am assuming you are growing photoperiod plants? I just ordered my first earthboxes today but I'm super excited after watching Jeremy Silva using them on the Build a Soil YouTube channel. He explains how to use them very well and gets pretty excellent results using them.... Comparable to what he was getting out of 30 gallon grow bags. He said if he wasn't restricted by a plant count he could put like 6 clones in 1 earthbound and go right to flower....

But why? fabric pots or regular ass plastic pots are so cheap. Not to mention you can get pots big enough to hold 2 or even 3 cubic ft of soil! The wonders of the world never cease. technology has advanced so far you can even add casters. Harbor freight has ones that even handle up to 250 lbs of weight each!

No you don't need to... They grew very large plants in their earthboxes. But if you didn't want to veg as late ng you could put multiple clones in 1 earthbox and flip to flower much sooner.

I see issues arising if you do more than 1 strain, or if they aren't similar strains.

Earthboxes act a lot bigger than they really are due to your ability to mound nutrients and the fact that you are bottom watering . Ive seen grows where they perform the same as a 25 gallon pot would , when realistically you are probably using more like 10 gallons of soil .
