Easy as pie to mix up and let cook. Tomatos are loving the heck out of every bit of the 3.0 soil, thank you build a soil <3

I put 2 new earthboxes and half moon covers in my 3x3 tent. The tent looks neat and still had space for my heater. Can’t wait to see how these do after stepping up from 5-7 gallon pots.
