two pages back post #3294 I show using two different wicking methods in my tomato double bucket sips, one a deli cup and one with 1/2" rope.
Both are doing great with a slight edge to the wicks.
Indoor I use two pieces of 3/8" rope (cotton sash cord) draped over a plant riser instead of a container of perlite and that works real good too as you can see in post #3286
this is an insert I bought on azon that had the 1/2" cord included. I was using that for the plant riser but it was a bit to tall and unstable so I shortened the legs a bit, the wick was a bit to thick that's why I bought some 3/8".
I used those 1/2" wicks in the double bucket outdoor.
