I kinda laughed because in the video they're all about being enganeer But, they have fancy background music and slo-mo shots of plants growing! Honestly it would be nice if a company like Earthbox made more variations, shapes and sizes of pots and components... almost like a kit of parts you...

It's a bit ironic. I'm glad I now know I can add a few more COBs and also get a bit more heat too. I guess the bulb trick will have to suffice for this grow.

That's a great idea. I did add a bulb in the closet like Tim Fox suggested. It seemed to help. It allowed my fan to cycle on more often to get the moisture out but still retain some heat. But, I like the idea of using the reptile bulb.

I use plastic on top of my pots and haven't had any gnats.

Did you pick a specific kelvin for your CFL's or does it even matter?

That's a good idea. I may just try that.

I use Actinovate as a soil inoculant and also a foliar to prevent PM. I've had good luck with it. It will hold PM at bay even on zucchini.

I have a fan on above and below the canopy. I know if I turn my exhaust fan on continuously I can get my humidity down to 55%. The only problem is running my exhaust continuously will drop my temps down to around 75 - 77F which is a bit cool. I'd like to keep my temps up in the low 80's if...

Healthy plants, happy plants. They're entering week 2 of flower now in the SIPs. The stretch has been manageable so far. The screen is full, so any more stretch will go vertical. These plants are pretty bushy, so I will need to do some significant thinning of the lower fan leaves to open things...

I'm thinking I'll probably add a couple more COBs and drive everything softer when I get a chance. I'll get the fixture up into the 900ppfd range.

I have no previous experience with this strain. These were bonus seeds I decided to try. I'm going to flip them today to give me a little bit of screen space for stretch.

I didn't really like my air and light seal around the doors. The foam tape didn't really work well. So I made a double gasket out of black duct tape. I'm trying to get the room ready for flower.

SIPs grow update. The plants are filling up the screen faster than I expected now. I have to decide when to flip these. I almost think they're ready.

Oops, yes I just fixed the settings.

What's you preference for something that last a bit longer? I also have used EB Stone for my outdoor garden.

"Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been"

One year I stuck a wine cork on a straightened coat hanger wire and put a little duct tape flag on the end to measure water height. Damn coyote pulled it out and took off with it!

I've got a question. It sounds like some of you are using the Down to Earth products. I'm using their Bio-Live 5-4-2 product in a SIPs system. I started the grow with the Bio-Live, Bu's Biodynamic compost, EWC and bokashi as a top dress and then lime and azomite mixed into the soil. I'm about 5...

You can get a little horizontal float valve and place it in a small tray or tub and place it on the floor next to your plant pots. Then you can set the water height to what you want and the large main supply reservoir would need to be elevated off the ground a bit and it would just gravity feed...

How about a remote reservoir connected to the homer buckets with a float valve? The system I have is basically this way. The reservoir in the SIPs pots is only about 1/2 gallon. But my remote reservoir can hold up to 12 gallons. Although I only put about 5 gallons at a time into it. I've heard...
