Most Sips don't need a wick. Coco as a base works really well.
Good job, buddy

Maybe Im missing something,the net pot is the wick? It appears it will sit in the water?He filled it with coco.Most Sips don't need a wick. Coco as a base works really well.

No SIP experience. This is experimental for me. I can always revert to top feed if the S hits the fan with this micro Octo sippy sip setup. Lol

IS the plan to feed in the rez?Or top feed with no runoff?This.

Ok so one flaw,if the rez goes dry with synthetic nutes in it you end up with a salt bath.I may be wrong but SIPS are designed to have water roots (rez) feeder roots (soil).
If you fed salts from the top lightly with no runoff and fed straight water to the rez it would work but really more work then needed.
From what I understand Sips are really designed for organic soil.
Just thinking out loud.

How do I feed my plant in the Octopot Grow System?
1. Starting with a high quality growing media charged with fertilizer gives cuttings, seeds, and clones a great start in the Octopot Grow System. If no fertilizer is present in your growing media, simply add a small amount to the soil at time of planting.
2. After planting, simply add water soluble nutrients and fertilizers (conventional or organic) to the water in the Hydro Reservoir. Feeding roots directly inside the Hydro Reservoir is the most productive way to grow with Octopot Grow Systems.
3. Octopot Grow Systems are closed systems that waste nothing from washout, therefore require less fertilizer. You may be able to reduce fertilizer amounts by 50% of manufacturers’ recommendations. Octopot Grow Systems are hybrids so the pH ranges of hydroponic growing methods are typically more acidic than what is best for Octopot’s hybrid system. Nutrient levels should be less than levels normally used in standard hydroponic growing systems. To avoid root burn from over application test nutrient levels with a meter, a general range is 600-800 ppm
This goes against everything Ive read on sips,I see they talk about flushing the rez in another area when things go bad.
Very cool if this works.

Experimental. That's why you won't see me on the SIP thread.
Working example....Not my grow

Whoops you already have that,so many journals hard to keep track lol. Still, you seam to have it dialed in.Why change? Just curious.

Just wanted to try something different, yet similar in many ways. Still coco and same nutes.
I like the dual root zone concept. Each plant is able to feed consistently and continuously as needed.
Should be fun.
(I have never grown in soil.)
