Interesting thanks!
I thought about doing the drip irrigation so it technically does not feed from the top but the drip emitter is like down the side of the bucket releasing water...
get the same vibe from SIP to DRIP

Almost. The sip has a reservoir built into the bottom, so when the roots hit the water, you get hydro style growth. There is an air gap between the water and the medium that keeps the roots from drowning. Never have to ph anything anymore. Just plain water and dry amendments. I don't even lift the lid once it's shut, not until harvest

The lid to the main bucket you mean in reference to getting rid of the gnats ?

Right. Once I put the lid on my tote, it doesn't come off until harvest. But I'm in a 17 gallon tote. 10g soil, 7 gal water. In a 5gal bucket, you'll have to topdress at least twice.

Shouldn’t be an issue dries up pretty quick in my tent, had to water in the gnat killer. Roots aren’t deep at all so they will dry out quick. Now the bottom on the other hand idk… prolly will be wet for some time

I takes more than a day! It will work and doesn't take long. Keep up the good work.

Bmc is killing the larvae so more adults don't hatch and bang. Eventually you'll sticky and swat all the adults. Looks like you caught it early, nice jerb

combined to one post since not much has happened same stuff every day at this point. Refilling humidifier, misting the plants sometimes water in a little water.
I think there is less flys but not sure. Sticky’s are always full!

Should I go BMC again this week?

I would. If you are still catching full stickys, they are still boning laying and hatching. Keep it up for 3 weeks to disrupt the lifecycle sufficiently

I just read on the bmi site that you can use it "weakly" as a preventative measure. I'm assuming they meant weekly
