SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

Yeah, they’re in the same tent temps and RH hasn’t changed. I’ll cut the light back a bit while they’re acclimating. It hasnt been a week yet so I’ll be patient. Really hoping the diesel pulls through this magnesium issue.

Use some langbeinite.

I dunno what your levels are, but you could maybe try a small dose of Neptune's harvest fish and seaweed.

Growbox update: the new one is in beast mode, and finally setting buds after like 5 weeks on 12/12. Seems like a while but it was barely a seedling when I put it in the tent:


And I was trying to keep this Crnklz clone on the shorter side, thinking she might be sensitive to high light levels... The method: tiny clone, topped during the first week of 12/12. The result: 6-inch tall mound of buds, still wrinkly af:

Very interesting. Technically it would not count as a plant in my state if it stayed under 6 inches.

Wow! How cool is that, bonsai mums for the win, lol. I’d love to be able to keep a ton of moms and just flower out three at a time. I’ll have to see if there is a similar provision here in CT.

Yup! Pretty sure your pic of water roots a long time ago was what convinced me to go with the Growbox

I really like filling the reservoir from the front without any over flow or spillage

Next round 4 patio pickers. First time.

Looking sharp Tim! It's great finding the right combo of plant size, container size, and amendments that you can just go water only the whole way

How long after transplanting, say, a 3-wk old seedling into the earth/grow box or SIP do you first fill the res? I transplanted a couple days ago and top-watered it in very well, put on the cover, and the moisture in the box is good right now. Should I give it a week and then fill?

When you notice the plant is growing, put water in the res.

Pretty sure it already is! Sounds good.

Good Morning Y’all,
I keep my reservoir filled from initial setup till the final curtain call.
Here is my current project of 2 Bodhi Strawberry Temple @ 35F~ Huzzah!

I see a rheumatologist this Wednesday, I hope to get some medicine to help my hands , thank goodness this grow has been simple, plus I flipped to flower earlier to keep them short, I might have to get some help from the family when it's time to harvest

Dude I am fighting RA which is a big issue, as the traditional meds aren't working. Prednisone is about the only thing that helps. I am on methotrexate + hydrochloroquine. Hands and elbows hurt, and I can't play guitar (I am semi-pro bluegrass and blues lead guitar). It is so bad I am selling amps and gear. Guess I'll be a retired guitarist soon.

Day 35 of 12/12. Added screws to the tote lids to get a better seal. Some sand around the base to block the opening. Seams to have helped. Less fliers around. Also top watering with dunk water. Should help.
