    Can you post a link? I'm on mobile nearly all the time and it doesn't show signatures or anything. I would love to check out your set up. I had made some 5 gallon SIPs just within other 5 gallon buckets. For me I ended up wanting to go with more soil. But did grow some very nice plants in them.

    The inntainer design does not call for it and I built 6 of them to the exact specs. 90% of the time they worked great but I did end up having issues a few times with things (I think) just staying too wet.

    The earthbox and other generic grow box designs have them also, and they are designed to have a cover on the soil. I have for sure seen a lot of people have success without the holes though.

    Also the earthbox is designed for air to go in the drain port and form an air pocket between the water and the soil. This way there will always be air in the root zone and water. In the initial pdf designs they have a water level view tube so you can see the water level but no drain. This meant...

    I always cover mine completely with panda film this time originally I used the og earthbox covers. Never had any issues. I'm moving to a soil bed just to have MORE soil. Hopefully it is just as easy as sips.

    From watching the build a soil 10 x 10 series on you tube in which he goes through an entire grow with a soil bed sips and 30 gallon pots, I think even some five gallons. According to him it's about the feel of the bed and you can kind of pull down the sides and feel the soil. Using mulch and or...

    I would think it would be fine to use straight peat. That's what I was always taught to do actually. I used the original pdf posted at the very beginning of this thread years ago as a guide, and it mentions using plain peat moss as a wick. I also make sure to add a small mound of peat moss on...

    I use straight peat moss as wicks and they work great. In my diy 20 gallon, 5 gallons and my earthboxes and generic rip earth boxes I got from.a buddy who used them for cherry tomatoes on his deck. So the peat should not be the issue. And yes my soil is also peat based.

    When to fruit fully colonised pf teks

    I assume this would be the same with oat tek spawned to bulk (well shoe box tubs) just wait for pins to form before introducing to fruiting conditions? I know philly golden teacher just says "ten days" but wondering also what I am looking for as a visual indicator. TIA
