Welcome! You’ve come to the right place. Feel free to ask questions or kick around ideas.

Good Afternoon,
Quick update from day 49F. 2 Strawberry Temple(Temple leaner?) in probiotic sips. Smells are Lemon, Pine, with maybe a melon thing. Super hype on these! Thinking they will finish up around week 9. Very Sticky and very Icky!

Looking good crunch! Any tweaks to greens method on this round? I skipped aka forgot the root wise on transplant and haven't done the big 6 yet this round and I'm not seeing a huge difference from my last round.

Thanks man!
I have been top watering twice a week. Once with a blend of aloe, coconut, AgSil 16H potassium silicate. The 2nd with a SST and FulPower. Sometimes I’ll water in a Comfrey extract, but just occasionally.

Is there a difference between sips and hempys? I like the idea of both.

I'm sure there is some grey area with all the different variations on each, but in general sips = organic soil, small amount of medium ("wick(s)") submerged in plain water, hempy = inert medium, bottom couple inches fully submerged in liquid nutrient solution (usually synthetic). I'd consider hempy a form of drain-to-waste hydro (the "world of hempy" thread is in the dtw forum at least) and sips to be just bottom-watered soil growing with a clever pot design.

Thanks! Makes sense now.

Fwiw, hempy and sips are the only two methods I have used for growing weed (other than seedlings and a few tiny moms), and I've had much greater success with the sips.

Ive tried all the ways of growing and SIPS with good soil wins hands down.

Sips are so darn easy, I gravitate towards easy

Not only easy, but they produce top quality herb!

Week 6 finished. Some doing really good some are slow. Last round I grew this Stunna strain did really good. This round buds are smaller. Plant is healthy. Only difference this round is I had more watts in my room. I had an HPS in there for heat. This round I’m definitely cooler but my widow plant is doing awesome. Funny. First pic is widow and stunna beside each other. Here’s widow normally she starts to brown out but so far she still whitesome frosted fruit cake.last run I had 1750 watts of lights. This run I’m at 1000 watts. Will see how much yield difference there is.

I'm on my 3rd day with sips. No transplant shock. The 3 in 7 gal bags got a bit of shock. But they were in 6 oz cups before transplant.

'rado purple bubblegum at 38 days from seed.. flipping soon. Earth box with organic soil.. drinks about a gallon every 3-4 days. Quite the tumbleweed! Smells sweet and loud.

WOW!!!

I'm thinking sips are boring. 5th day from transplant and zero shock just growth. I'll update at a week. I'm trying this with a tomato plant or 2. Outside. Lazy man's grow.
