I ran a similar space and was using 2 200w leds.

I’m debating which way to go. I dry amended with the malted barley. It seems the easiest would be foilar feeding or putting a small amount in reservoir. I don’t know how much water it holds so hard to get an accurate amount

I made it to harvest, but had some weird issues with the plant the whole time.

Plants are in and digging it. I just added some freshly ground malted barley(about 1C per container), and spread some straw on top. Grabbed a few earth worms and threw them in for good measure. Curious if anyone is using TM7 and if so, are you dry amending similar to the barley?

I looked up the sheet and it can be used as a dry amendment. This is my first SIP grow, so learning how folks do all the stuff

Right on. I'll grab some. Do you grow in a SIP? I'm assuming in my case it would be best to use it as a top dress, or do you think it would be ok in a reservoir?

I did another soil test after adding the bloodmeal. Feeling better about it and have now added plants. Im pretty happy with everything, though a little concerned about my high elements. Also still wondering how micro nutrients are addressed in these grows.

A lot of the chinese manufacturing is pretty amazing these days. I have tested all of my LED's with par meters, and they perform right up the spec that they say they do.

Thanks! My design is copied from the earthtainer pdf which is floating around in this thread. Planning on getting some commercial units at some point but wanted to try this first

All right. I spent a bit of time trying to figure out if my soil was gonna cut it. Finally made the jump and have 4 plants in my 2 SIPS. My Coots style mix had some weird test numbers and being a SIP, I couldn’t easily flush out any excess stuff. I was a little paranoid as I put one of the...

I’m partial to the fan leaves myself<g Learning

Thanks. Will do!

I’ve got a second GSC that seemed to have some time left. She has a ton of white hairs still and the calyxes haven’t swollen as much as her sister, but high I just took down. When I looked at her tonight through a loupe I was surprised to see that most of my the trichomes were cloudy and quite...

Funny! I did the same

Just for an update- I have to transplant my plants as they were outgrowing their 3 gallon containers. I gave the soil a couple of weeks with some EWC tea and recharge to get it going. When I opened up my tubs there was a nice Mycelium matt on the top so hopefully it is doing its work as needed...

Hey! I know this is an old thread, but I am dealing with some of the same things and just transplanting into 30G SIPs using a similar soil. My test results looked almost exactly like yours and I'm curious how everything went for you. I'm seeing low Nitrogen, really high potassium, sodium...

And therein lies the run. As each of us is trying to find their own methodology that works for them, we are juggling multiple schools and thoughts. I’m gonna be using SIPs, at least for a bit. I will also be using this oil mix(of which I have quite a bit!). I will back off from more amendments...

I am thinking it might be good to go ahead and add some more crab meal. with the low numbers it makes sense to me

So, I've been checking every day and made the decision to chop the tops off of this G13. Pretty exciting to me! Pics suck. Sorry for the quality, but definitely getting cloudy and some amber. This is my first harvest and glad that this plant made it through some weird stuff. Buds are a little...

When you are talking about building the biology, I am assuming you are talking about both keeping the soil active and adding elements to the soil that those critters can eat. I was imagining adding compost/ewc and also elements that are nitrogen heavy, without the potassium, like crabmeal. A...
