I love the patio pickers, you can grow monsters in them!!4 plants per sip would make an interesting short veg sog. 16 varieties. Vegetable garden season coming and this is time saving. I don't even pH my water.

Looking good! Where did you get those containers?Loving these little sips!! Been so busy lately, had plants in 1 gallon pots waiting forever, they were small and sad. Finally got the sips built and fresh soil in them last Sunday.
7 days later they're much happier and growing like weeds
Got some nice root action in a week, guessing the air stones are helping with that
Thanks!! I got them onlineLooking good! Where did you get those containers?
Hey Grassburner,
This will be my second run with airstones. Since the reservoir is big compared to the soil container size I wanted to make sure the water stayed fresh. And I figured it would help the soil at the bottom of the container stay aerated. The roots love it!!Hey Grassburner,
Love the setup! Thanks for the link to the food grade containers. Have you been running airstones in your reservoir for long?
Beautiful! Keep us updated on their progress!This will be my second run with airstones. Since the reservoir is big compared to the soil container size I wanted to make sure the water stayed fresh. And I figured it would help the soil at the bottom of the container stay aerated. The roots love it!!
At the end of the last rub the entire reservoir was jammed packed with roots. Here is a pic from some point in the last run

Depends on plant size and light cycle. I let mine get big, and once I flip to flower, I go thru 2 gallons every day and a half. In veg, with light low, maybe every 4 days I have to refill.Everyone’s plants are looking fantastic! I snagged a City Pickers for the this summers deck grow.
How long do you guys feel comfortable leaving town running SIPs? I have one earthbox with a single plant and one earthbox with 2. They’ll be starting week 4 of flower when I leave next weekend. I’ll be gone 5 days. Giving me a bit of anxiety being away for so long. View attachment 5114194
With the city pickers, in veg I could stretch it to 3 or 4 days at most between watering, but the soil was starting to get dry by then. But in mid flower, they would drink the res in a day or two. I would try to find someone to come water then about day 3. Great thing about sips, they can't fuck up the wateringEveryone’s plants are looking fantastic!

Ok, that’s what I was thinking. TYWith the city pickers, in veg I could stretch it to 3 or 4 days at most between watering, but the soil was starting to get dry by then.

I concur. Especially the EB with the two is going to drink that res pretty quickly at that stage.With the city pickers, in veg I could stretch it to 3 or 4 days at most between watering, but the soil was starting to get dry by then.

I always cringe when I see these float valves,when they work its awesome but..... if they fail it could do a lot of damage indoors.And if you can't find somebody or don't trust anybody, you can auto water an earthbox.
Yeah you would definitely want some kind of tray with a drain, going to a drain in the house somewhere.I always cringe when I see these float valves,when they work its awesome but..... if they fail it could do a lot of damage indoors.
