If em-1 is cool in the res, how do you guys feel about plant extracts that were made with LAB used sparingly in the res?

Just water it into the top. The liquid in the rez can end up sitting still too long.

Looking good Tim. Roots are established on the right I'd guess with lefty not far behind. They're about to take off.

Sips are great especially after a few cycles.
This is a mixed bed from various breeders,, similar starains (Og and Cookies going on). Most will finish around the same time (67-74)...
Things in there Gelato 33 x Zawtz (Zkittles × Gellati × King Louis ) (cannarado)
White Grape GusherS, (cannarado)
Alien Napalm, (Alien)
Orange Bubble gum Tahoe (Obsoul33t)
As you go along to the new people, less is more. This will be my 16th cycle in this same sip bed.

A hybrid of both persay. When this cycle is going to be over, I'm going to take out part of the rootball and breakup the rest in the soil. I have earth worms in there, So I don't go too overboard and just add a few dry nutes and a myco inoculant..

I should try reusing the soil, my grows a so far apart,

Go for it. We all can get caught up in the sub planters, but trying to simplify seems to make things work well in my and other's situations.

My latest five gallon sip run. Most are black raspberry by bodhi, there is one purple wookie and one GLG freebie also. Next run is all feminized useful strains going into some happy frog for sprouting today!

Training continues on my plants, Sunset sherbet on the left is really adusting well to the soil mix, I can see my first water roots on the sherbet, Trainwreck has been doing great the whole ride so far, now that water roots have reached the resevoir they should really take off, keeping the canopy level the plants are growing outward not upward , topped off the water resevoir, and I turned up the light power some this morning now that they have more leaves, going very well,

Day 9 flower. 8/16 light schedule. I added SolarCure bulbs a week or so ago also. Stretch is pretty decent with 1" internode spacing pretty much across the board. I've had to adjust the lights up a bit as some leaves have been deforming, probably from excess UV. I'm running the SolarCures for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon. The Bogglegum in the middle back is the stretchiest of all, followed by the Shoreline OG in front of it, and then Shoreline OG's Sour Diesel in front of that. I just trained them with bonsai wire until everything took off and now everything is unsupported. We'll see if I can get away with it.

Irrigation setup is working killer now. I had to elevate my rez and put the pump underneath. It likes to be gravity fed a lot better than it likes to lift water, even with a 6ft lift rating. Water alarm sensor is raised until I nail down every last little leak down there.
It's on a timer also, and usually only takes an hour or two to fill every Earthbox tank. I'm going to setup a PVC rail with valves and the HydroLock system to water the other half of the room, using smart pots. This way I can still use the room to sort unsexed plants if I need to. These EBs work great though.

Very intrigued by your rez set up here! Does it auot fill the SIP rez's when they get low? Or is it a system you use as needed just go in flip a switch until they are full and done? If I incorporated something like this... I might only have to go into my room once every 2 or 3 weeks! LolIrrigation setup is working killer now. I had to elevate my rez and put the pump underneath.

Those solarcares are uv lights correct? Have you used them before and seen any added difference? Was thinking about getting a uv fixture from rapid led to throw in with my cobs.Day 9 flower. 8/16 light schedule. I added SolarCure bulbs a week or so ago also. Stretch is pretty decent with 1" internode spacing pretty much across the board. I've had to adjust the lights up a bit as some leaves have been deforming, probably from excess UV.

I'm using the standard Earthbox Auto-Watering system ($45 per box). It uses a pneumatic valve that senses pressure differences in the reservoir of each unit. I set the water timer to come on during the lights-on cycle and each of the valves flow 2 or 3 gallons per hour. The pump is an on-demand unit (like an RV, but with 120V power input) and I have a pressure tank attached. The system is pretty quiet and automated.
I'll put another outlet for the pvc rail and a water timer to turn on the Hydrolock unit sprayers for a couple of minutes maybe a few times a day. Then the non-SIP pots can have irrigation also.
