Can you run SIP with salts?

Title says it all lol, sick of hand watering and since I run multiple strains from seed usually nothing every drinks at the same rate so pumps and drips are out, I’ve gotten more consistent results with salts than organics

How would you remove unused salts?

If you did like I suggested, you would see that every time you water a hempy you flush out the small "res" by watering to 15% run off

I think "Octopot" is the product you are looking for... However, why not just use an organic soil mix and plain water in the reservoir?

Edit: durh, I missed the part about having more success with salts in the past... I've read that Octopots can work with either one, so if you get some maybe try it both ways...?

I've put thought into it, but I can't work out how to remove the unbalanced nutes. Also I feel like the salts would have a hard time wicking up.

Pumps and drips can work at different rates with valves. You just have to dial them in.

Why not grow in coco or peat with salts, & a drip system? You can DIY together the drip system, use a size-up lines and drip heads so they won't clog?
