I wonder why that is happening? I put very small clones into my earthboxes without problems. The beauty of sips is the plants will drink what they want so the overwatering is a headscratcher.Sips seem to be the way to go for organics. Problem I'm running into is the stages when the plant stops drinking for a minute, they become waterlogged and show signs of overwatering
I run a water only soil in sips and it's very simple. I do have to mix it myself but I use my own compost so it works for me. Limitations might be the amount of soil needed ( if going with water only soil) I think I'm around 9-10 gallons per sip.Never considered that issue with sips before (I'm sip-curious). Passive systems have their limitations.
I'm currently trying to figure out that myself. I need roughly 1-1.5 gallons h20 a day to be in cruise control for 2 sips. I'm thinking about just using a ecoplus fixed flow pump in a bucket scaled down to quarter inch tubing.They do. I'm basically trying to get everything to a point where the wife and I can take off for a few weeks. Everyone around me has a brown thumb, big mouth, or both. I'm thinking a backet inside a bucket. Drain out the side down low so very little water accumulates, with no wick. I can snap the lids on with a hole cut in the middle and a pac man slit. Ever changing, ever evolving
I heard you like buckets! I put a bucket in yo bucket son!!!!
