I need to vacuum. If this works until harvest I'll be amazed. I've watched the build a soil videos. But this is a straight recommended earth box grow. I used organicish fertilizer off the shelf from my local big box. 1 cup of dolomite and a strip of fertilizer. Gonna either kill them or something.

You have time to wash your bong , boots , bike , car ,van , help the guy next start his grow if you get bored, LOLESTI'm thinking sips are boring. 5th day from transplant and zero shock just growth. I'll update at a week. I'm trying this with a tomato plant or 2. Outside. Lazy man's grow.

Lol right!!!!!
Every time I consider doing some other method of growing I have to have that "is the new method easy or harder" conversation with myself

Exactly! And every time I think about going back to watering by hand--I shudder.
Getting close to harvest!

Unfortunately I started off with dwc. I like it a lot, it's just a lot more on the mind. Power outages, res temps, constant pH & EC adjustments, bennies or bleach. Organics was less stress ultimately, so I switched. The sips make it even easier.

Loving these little sips!! Been so busy lately, had plants in 1 gallon pots waiting forever, they were small and sad. Finally got the sips built and fresh soil in them last Sunday.
7 days later they're much happier and growing like weeds
Got some nice root action in a week, guessing the air stones are helping with that

Growbox update...the beast is looking ferocious as usual. Got some pink pistils in there too which is cool.
Crnklz has about another week before chop. This is the healthiest I've seen her this late in the game, maybe the trick is keeping the light 3 feet away and training her as a ground cover...not expecting much yield from this one...
In the background there is a little bush bean seedling. I planted a few and this is the only one that made it, and it started out life with no cotyledons! Obviously it took a while to get going, but seems to be gaining some momentum now.
Happy SIPing y'all!

I just noticed the markings on the containers - those are only 3 gallons? Pretty amazing 1-week transformation...

Yeah 3 gallons of soil and about a 3 gallon res
The last run I started using fulvic acid to help break down the dry ammendments. Im gonna top dress once a week in flower, and water in with Neptune's Harvest and Ful-Power.Whoever came up with sips, and coots for his soil mix deserve all the credit. I just plant seeds and water them
Went ahead and flipped the lights to 12/12, I only have 1 day a week to tend to them, I want the out of controllness to a minimum I couldn't believe what 7 days in a sip did for them!!

Thanks!! For now I'm just gonna top dress, scratch it in, and water in with ful-power and Neptune's Harvest. If I see them getting hungry a few weeks into flower I'll hit em with a feeding of aqua flakes
