The containers are 18 gallons. 15 gallons of soil + 3-gallon reservoir. I add a cup of seed meal at the begining of each cycle so depletionis not problem.I tried to do a soil reuse, but ran into depletion problems. The containers are 3 gallon you say?
very cool.
The net is a 3x3 piece of stiff wire fencing. Your local hardware store should cut you a piece for under $10. 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame.Looks great.....
And sounds like a nice strain....I usually run 1 GDP auto.....
Awesome net setup....
Kinda cool reusing soil...I was looking into worms, but I believe that I'm not gonna try it.....
For sure I'll be watching your grow....

When the plants are done I will hang it one piece trellis and all in my walk-in closet with my AC on. The same way I did the last one, even thought it was only 1 plant (60 day veg)View attachment 2016879
During my last 3x3 scrog, each of my 2 SIPs were going through 3 gallons of water per day during the stretch period.Very nice. I will follow along. I'm running a similar set-up. First trial indoors now and all is going pretty well. I made my Sip set-up to wick water up from the 25L + of water in the tub below. I'm using 20gal fabric pots. I was shocked to see the godfather plant drinking it dry it only 2 days now she's a few weeks since 12/12.
Looking good! Do you ever give them a drink from above?During my last 3x3 scrog, each of my 2 SIPs were going through 3 gallons of water per day during the stretch period. View attachment 2018857
I do. I like to give an aerated compost/casting tea on top every couple weeks. Kind of similar to Recharge from Reel Growers (DGC). I do this between reservoir fill ups.Looking good! Do you ever give them a drink from above?
I decided to give a hand watering yesterday and once a few days ago. Just seems so dry ontop so thought would be good to get things moving around up there again.
For the tea, I have the Tealabs Bubblesanke. It cost like $40. You also need a compressor, and they are like $50 and made to run constantly for large fish aquariums. I take 2-3 cups from the bottom of my compost pile (cold compost that has sat for 3 years) and put it in a mesh bag. I mix a couple tablespoons of darkstrap mollasses in a cup of hot water and mix that into 2-3 gallons of tap water and put the whole works in a 5-gallon bucket and bubble for 18 hours.I may look to add that to my process next run, it would be easier than adding any dry top dressings, due to my mulch layer needing to be removed and put back on.
I'm interested to see how everything goes this run though, using only straight water with no amendments or top dressings.
What is your process for the tea?
Do you aerate your reservoirs? I've got an airstone in each of mine. I may possibly trial no stone and use EM1 instead but prefer not to if possible as I don't like the smell much haha
Cheers, Well it looks to be working for you that's for sure. I'm finding I like this sip growing style and think I will probably use it for my next grow aswell, mainly due to the easy watering.For the tea, I have the Tealabs Bubblesanke. It cost like $40.

And no, I don't aerate my reservoirs simply for the fact that if the air-stone fails, the plant will suffer and probly die because it has been used to the constant air. Plus you are dead on about the smell. I like to keep that stench IN the box!
500 in the corners and 900 in the center. I'm at about 80% power. Its a decent light and goes up to 1100+ at full power.What's your ppfd at the moment?
Cheers. I need to keep trying to bump mine up, one of my strains doesn't like going over about 520ish in the centre at the moment. I'm a week or so behind you so would love to get that up a little though, I'm only at 60% on the dial but also only 13/14" from the light.500 in the corners and 900 in the center.
