Thanks man. This is only my second time using SIPs. The first time I never made it to harvest. Got busted and hit jail for a year. Now my state is legal for 4 plants.

Yikes. Well um. Stay low? Idk. Ha.edit. Good for you. Small plant big sip. Will take some time for roots to find the res. Keep the top covered. Good luck.

Lol thx. I’m staying under 4 so I figure one SIP in a 4x4 will do it for yield. This is my first time growing the strain so will trellis her but not scrog yet.

Well if you plan on growing her big. Keep up with top dressing.

I will be using various teas and foliars throughout flower. I will add some top dress as soon as I flip.but I am definitely here for additional guidance and appreciate any help!!

I ran two tomato plants in 27 g sips this year. Plants are 14’ tall with 3 mains of each. They drink 5 gallons every two days now. I’ll get a pic

Yea too bad it’s near freezing at night now. She’ll be dead soon.

Goes to show what a 27 gallon sip can do though. You’ll have to grow your plants 10’ before you flip. Lol.

This girl is half sour diesel so it just may happen.

Truth!!!

My soil goes about a month with 5 gallons before you see deficiency. So a 27 gallon should go 5 months. Idk haven’t tried. I will next round though. I’ll put two plants in each and see.

I didn't start seeing deficiency in mine until a few weeks into flower but I top dressed often in veg.

Yeah stretch consume a lot. I’m a believer of timing stretch and roots hitting res at the same time. That’s when the hydro growth happens.

So you flip right away then?

I transplant 2 gallon pots (2mo veg) into 8 gallons of soil. Two weeks later I flip. Timing seams to be right so far.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

I found when you transplant or up pot roots go crazy and grow really quickly. With sips the soil stays so wet you’d think it’s overwatering but so far it’s worked. I’d think it’s a completely different ball game putting a small plant in a big sip? Haven’t done that yet. Small veg room so can’t fit sips in there.

I wanna try planting a seed in one.
