Hey bud, There are tons of pictures at the beginning of this thread detailing what you are trying to set up. Check it out!

You don’t have to keep it at 86 degrees for a week. Get you some of those ph strips that get down pretty low and check it periodically. My first time I used organic molasses which I found out has a ph buffer that will either take longer or you can add double the molasses I think to get the ph...

Does the 3.0 have OSF or Dolomite lime?

I never ph anything, but I do have a layer of oyster shell flour to buffer ph. The idea is that by having different layers of acidic and alkaline soils, plants can take what they want when they want. Some nutrients are more readily available at a certain ph. Hope this helps.

There were times when I would over fill the res and a couple healthy worms would come floating out.

I had 2 earthboxes that were locked and loaded, ready for planting. We then decided to move and they sat for months before I could plant. I had added fresh ewc and some Colorado worm casting. Both of which had worms and cocoons. Worm populations exploded in both sips. Fast forward to dump day...

There should be an expiration date on the bottle somewhere.

Use the zoom feature on your cameras phone to get a better view when using those clip on phone scopes. I was like wtf, then my buddy told me to just zoom in. Still difficult to get a good view, unless you take a sample.

I started adding a tsp of molasses before bubbling a 5 gal bucket. The molasses will help neutralize the chloramine. And you get the added benefit of food for your microbes.

You can always expand it, but that takes time.

1 oz per gallon

You can always use the em1 to make some homemade bokashi or Grokashi

Yes. I do 3/4 tsp per gal

I use Em1 or LABS with every watering and I don’t have any funky smells in the reservoir. Been using LABS more recently because it has more variety of bacteria than em1 and its a free input. I have some DIY Photosynthesis + cooking but it stinks to high heaven. Supposed to be great stuff, but dang!

Or LABS or Photosynthesis +

Sup Sippers, I’m about to start making some 30 gal sips and wanted to get y’all’s opinion. All this conversation about wicks has me thinking. I planned on building the SIPs similar to how Greenthumb had his set with the drainage pipes and vermiculite floor. See screenshots. Guess I would add a...

Here is a link to micro sips. https://www.rollitup.org/t/greens-probiotic-method.985411/page-2 They take over/under watering out of the equation. Hope this helps.

I saw that also. Micro Sips for the win!

What was the potting mix you used?
