No, but what's it made with? I might be able to give you idea if it could work.

I loooove me some SIPS. I'm in the process of adapting my indoor grow Autopots to work a bit more like a SIPS and less like a hydro system. But, I have to get through my current grow before I fully implement the plan.

Oh and of course the next logical step for me was to grow cannabis in slightly smaller versions. I fed them with the same dry fertilizer I use for my veggies and resulted in these beasts. They were over eight feet tall when I chopped them.

Yeah, the wood corral looks good. It also keeps the pots cool and keeps the plastic from degrading in the sun.

I couldn't stop, so the next design was a hybrid fabric pot/ root pruning system with SIPS. I cut a 50 gallon water drum in half, drilled holes and used shade cloth to line the sides. I used these for squash and potatoes.

Then I built this SIPS with a half whiskey barrel and barrel liner for my fig tree.

I've been rocking SIPS for years. I started with Earthtainers that I built, and then adapted the concept for other stuff. Here's my veggie garden and hops.

My local hydro stores won't even sell them.

Yes, I did this too with the oscillating fan and it does seem to help a bit. I think it raised temps around the plants by a couple degrees.

I'm in the same situation as you. My climate in the U.S. Pacific Northwest creates a situation where my 3ft x 3ft grow closet tends to be too cool right now with LEDs. Temps are around 73 - 75F. I decided to go with a 50% efficient light (800 ppfd) with the thought I would want a bit of heat...

Oh yeah, I've had a Bluelab EC meter from the get go. I figured mixing custom batches of Jacks salts would require it. It's been great so far.

I bit the bullet and just ordered the Milwaukee 102. It actually wasn't terribly expensive for a unit with a replaceable sensor. I'm looking forward to not having to interpret colored drops. Thanks for the assist from you and ttystikk. I wasn't aware of these pro meters with reasonable prices. I...

I have a tendency to jump to the most expensive solution, so I was trying to resist the urge. Good gardening is always my goal, so I might have to go the ph meter route.

Hello Jack's users... I want to see if anyone has noticed if and how much Jacks 321 drops the ph of your tap water. My tap water is around ph 7 and when I mix my Jacks 321 it drops the solution to the mid- 5's. I'm testing with the GH drops and not a meter. So, I'm worried I might be getting...

I did a bit of pruning and training today. The screen is beginning to fill in. I think I will try to fill the screen about 70% before I flip. So, I've got a bit more veg to go. I'm hoping I can flip in a few more weeks... patience. I'm seeing quite a bit of purple streaks starting in the newer...

I got it at my local hydro store. It wasn't something they typically stock and was sitting around for awhile, so I got it for a great price. It's a Phresh 150cfm. I like how compact it is.

That would be a good idea. However, my closet has a big threshold which would prevent me from rolling anything in and out. But, I could build a big drawer style tray similar to how I built my reservoir storage. Maybe that will be phase 2 improvements.

No, actually all the plants were the same strain from the same seed pack (Barney's Blue Cheese). I'm thinking they are just different phenos of the same strain and that was why they were acting differently. The two very healthy plants look different than the two I ditched. They have longer...

I decided to ditch the two front plants. They were showing issues all over the entire plant... the plants just didn't look as good as the back two plants and I was tired of fighting to fix them. Plus the closet was a bit crowded with four plants. Trying to reach the back two plants to do a SCROG...

I strung the SCROG net over the frame.
