Yeah, that looks great! I did leave plenty of room per plant in there. So hopefully I get over grown. Lol! I'm thinking constant perfect water moisture will work great with the smart pot. I'm excited to flip. Just want roots in the rez first.and then it's on.

I think that using plain water in the rez will make goo far less likely.

I am wondering about recirculating or aerating the water....mandatory? When?

I imagine that I would have to, or goo. :^)

i.e. if the plant was drinking really fast, then it gets easier again.

(sorry -> high ;0)

You definitely want plain water. Aerating the water is not mandatory. Buy you will get much better and faster and more growth if you do aerate the water.

I'm thinking about doing these in storage bins like the big Rubbermaid ones, but I'm working in a 2x4 tent -- I'd be able to squeeze 2 in and they'd barely fit. So I started to think about formats with smaller footprints. I haven't been able to find pots that fit into the buckets the way @hyroot 's do -- that seems like a decent height saving system.

Currently I'm working with 3.5 gallon buckets, 3 gallon cloth pots, and a pair of stacked/connected 1 liter airpots as the wick basket. I haven't drilled for the fill tube yet, just wondering if you (or anyone else!) can foresee any issues with this design? I wish I could use a bigger cloth pot than the 3 gallon, but the bigger ones hang over the edges of the bucket lid, and I'm not sure if that would be a bad thing?

those air pots may over wick or over saturate the soil. I just use square party cups for my 5 gal sips. they have 7 holes on each side of the cup ./

Maybe line the air pot with weed cloth and it should be fine.

@fumble I've been taking ibuprofen 800 for a very long time. At least once a day some times 2-3 a day. I need to get off them. I need an herbal replacement. I take these in conjunction with mmj orally... Let's put it this way... I'm scared to stop taking it... I'm open to trying something different out but no over the counter pills etc...

I also take something else. It's a nerve modifying med. It helps me sleep through the night and I have gotten better.sleep and life from it. I'm just worried about taking it long term also as I've heard it's heavey. @nuggs has taken it I think too in the past. Nortiptylene

I need to have some things done on me and need.to be off.the ibuprofen by June if I can...

Thanks for the suggestion! I've read that the soil or coco needs to be packed into the wick pretty tightly, and I'm not sure the shape of the airpot lends itself to that, but with some weed cloth in there that might solve the problem.

I love that sip design @Humanrob
Thanks!

Are you taking the 800s for pain/inflammation? Do you have joint pain? If so you can start taking turmeric and/or knox geletin capsules instead. i'm not sure about the norotryptaline...ive taken amytryptaline before with bad side effects. Not sure if the noro is something you have to wean off? Have you tried subbing out your killer oil for it?
I will check into this more when i can get on a computer. You can def start subbing out turmeric for 800s though

The 800s are for joints and back. It's also keep other things in check since it's an anti-inflamitory. How much tumeric is a comparable.dose?

about 2000mg turmeric equals an 800 ibuprofen
Thanks for the PM. Just now having a break. Busy guy. Lol. I have a 00capsule machine and capsules. I will look for the tumeric caps already made though.

I have back damage from Rock climbing fall. Compression fractures in spine that are old. Plus bad "roaming" tendonitis... Kinda like arthritis but not. Still painful. The nortriptyline is really to help w the pain or sensations of pain and to help me sleep. I take a low dose coupled w mj now for over a year. I do sleep better than I did... Lol. Edibles are tough at night as I wake groggy. I can't do that w the job I have.... Still. Looking to try and go natural over pharma.

If this works well with this sip I am thinking to do 9 in a U configuration screened, leaving access down.the center of.the tent. No more moving them around.to water and I can always put a few.testers down the center.

@hyroot
I think it's.only about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Extending the netpot dropped the wick pretty low. Cost was 8$ as I had everything else except the two net pots. Holy hell they are big netpots and stronger than I expected
Harbor Freight dollies under that sip roll where ever u want
I fill my walkways roll out to gain access
I scored 10 of those bins free
gonna do this
