There are a few guys doing it, I believe @PadawanWarrior is one of them?Brings up another question. Can you do no till with a sip?
I think you’d have to rig up a way to flush out the res.

I'm doing no-till, but I've never done a SIP.There are a few guys doing it, I believe @PadawanWarrior is one of them?
At that point I would just buy a soil bed i think from build a soil
I have a link for $5 off from BAS if anyone wants it.At that point I would just buy a soil bed i think from build a soil
Fear of underwatering for me in my Costco 27 gallon totes, mine are drying up on the top but I only put 3” holes for the two 5” net pots. Btw, this is how you move them on a dolly with shopping cart wheels 5 1/4” to get over little bumps.What are your thoughts on supporting the inn tainer. I plan on not cutting it down. So the options are the plastic pipe drilled through the outer to support the inner. Or plastic pipe placed vertically in the res to support the inner.
Another question. Using 27 gallon totes I was going to use two 5” net pots for wicks. Is there a fear of over water ? With not cutting down the inner I assume I’ll get 23-25 gallons of soil in.
thanks.
Nice!Yeah i guess with trees lol,Fear of underwatering for me in my Costco 27 gallon totes, mine are drying up on the top but I only put 3” holes for the two 5” net pots. Btw, this is how you move them on a dolly with shopping cart wheels 5 1/4” to get over little bumps.

Yep! See! Trees!! HahahaNice!Yeah i guess with trees lol,
What kind of weight do you get from one of those monsters!?Funny shit is, I have learned growing 5’ tall plants (from the soil) sucks because I have to get on a stool to check the canopy and I’m 5’11”.
Also I love the like normal house light fixture still on the ceiling!Funny shit is, I have learned growing 5’ tall plants (from the soil) sucks because I have to get on a stool to check the canopy and I’m 5’11”.
Looks great man! I would maybe make the hole in the center bigger as the stalk gets bigger just it is not restricted.Well after building the first one. The other smaller 3 went pretty quick. 45L—11.5 gallons. One is in. Much better for room compared to that giant 27g one lol. View attachment 4838778
Depends on how lazy I am or what I have going on reallySo do you guys just keep topping up the res or let it go down a gallon or two then top up?
My auto-water setup is set to come on an hour after the lights come on and then go off an hour before dark. It drips as much as it needs and then each individual SIP valve shuts off when full. I end up going through 3-4 gallons per day with 4 SIPs + a dozen or so smart pots on a 2 minute spray timer.So do you guys just keep topping up the res or let it go down a gallon or two then top up?
Cool,So since I just planted a big girl in I should keep it topped up.Ive already top watered the original root ball.My moisture meter said it was low.My auto-water setup it set to come on an hour after the lights come on and then go off an hour before dark.

Since I can see my res level through the view port I fill when necessary, in early veg I might top off once a week then later veg every couple of days, during flower now they are really drinking allot of water , now I am topping up daily because they drink about half the res each daySo do you guys just keep topping up the res or let it go down a gallon or two then top up?
