Hey guys thought i would update you all. I mixed up 100 gals myself and put them in 2 50 gal sip container my plants have stopped drooping been about two weeks. I was having huge drooping problem since seed. They literally all perk up once they were in this mix. I think the soil might be slowing...

@PDX Joe Hey can you let me see your journal it wont let me for some reason

I checked the dirt on the plants that had aphids did not see any in the dirt think they are leaf kind. Im just going to do a more organic spray on the leaves and keep a watch out for those fuckers.

If anyone is wondering what level their water is at in the res take a piece of tubing and blow in it till it getting all foggy then stick it down the fill tube.

I bought two houseplant in two weeks ago on the first floor. Today I noticed that they had aphids on the stem when I moved them outside into the trash I saw a couple fliers too. My grow tent is in the basement. Am I fucked? Also if they are on the stem they don't go after the roots? Or is it...

Coming together now just have to mix all my dirt now

Cool thanks for the tips. I found a few fig planters using Thermolam fabric they said that you kind have to experiment with it and find out how much wick you need though. Edit:Some good wick materials are synthetic shoe laces, man-made chamois (100% rayon), the nylon ties from citrus fruit...

Okay cool 5 bucks i can handle i guess. Is anyone using ropes for a wick that seems like it would be cool then the roots would stop when they it the air gap

Okay thanks i was thinking that it might clog those slits ill probably wrap it in the weed fabric. Running out of money for this build. How does that look for spacing between the pipe. Too much too little? Thanks for the tip on washing it too i was not gonna do that. Maybe i can find some of...

you could put in a air stone in there pretty easy just pop one in one of the pipes or do three one in each pipe. I was thinking what if you did a system all dirt and then ran air tubing with pin holes in it snaked all along the bottom to provide air to the dirt. I was just worried the sand...

no I wasn't

Planning on filling this with sand to cover the pipes then putting weed fabric over it. The sand wicks well? I did a little test in a some yogurt containers the sand one weren't that wet compared to the peat or soil mixes.
