You sent me a question so Im gonna post it here since it could benefit everyone.
"been following you on your sips, even made my own SIP room cause of you and some others. i was wondering if you would share some of you insight into SIPs since you've been getting great results."
First, Thanks! Here are some of my thoughts albeit disorganized...LOL
**This really only applies fully to the octopot style of SIP i am running**
-Make sure you have amended the soil enough and have enough peet/coco etc within your mix to continue wicking up in your container. I personally use dry fertilizer mixed in and then more at the bottom of the soft pot before the wick.
-depending on the size of rez you could end up getting as much as 14 days between fill ups
-Be ready for hydroponic type growth once the roots hit the rez area
-larger containers = bigger wicks Smaller containers = smaller wicks. I F'd up and put too big of a wick on my 5gl bucket ones and they actually did not get as big as they should have because of this. I will change them to a smaller wick in the future.
-The feed tube/ PVC pipe is not necessary. This summer I am going to put hinges for a peek door on the lid for fill ups.
-I also am going to plumb the airlines in through the lid better.
-More/bigger air stones per tub
-PVC framing inside tub to support the weight of the soil on the lid better.
-Paint the yellow tops black.
I will have some modifications done to one in a few weeks and will post it when I get done.
