Holes drilled ,risers cut. Net pots for wicks. One big ass sip. View attachment 5119851View attachment 5119852View attachment 5119854
Finally convinced my buddy to try a couple sips. He's been growing forever outdoor and indoor. Indoor he grows in promix i believe. Grows nice flower, but he's wanting to try the organic soil route, and the ease of sips is too tempting. Sending him these pics, he's gonna build 2 identical to yours. I'm guessing he'll be building a lot more soon :lol: Thanks for the pics!!

I'm feeling kinda guilty. It's just too easy. We'll see if they make it through bloom. I have noticed an increase of around 10% on my humidity I assume due to the increased transpiration and a bit of evaporation. I need to clean up the short bottom growth for more air circulation. Growth is much faster than the bags. I found this thread after watching tons of videos on YouTube from build a soil as well as coots. I run a homebrew mix similar to coots. I used promix and worm castings and used happy frog for some of the compost as well as a local compost. I toss in dolomite and use extra pearlite then use some plastic food grade 55 gal drums to cook it for a month or so. I also Dr earth also. In the sips though I went straight hillbilly and used promix, dolomite, and strips of 444 Dr and jobes 253 organic tomato fertilizer. 1.5 cups of each. I'm trying to find items available locally that work. So far I'm shocked. If the flower looks and tastes ok I will be shocked again.

A strain Ive had for several years,came to me as a clone marked White Widow.Very strong and a favourite with the females in my circle. Very relaxing they say.

This is the best Ive done as far as size goes,seems to eat the N a lot.Should have top dressed a few more times I think.
I was top dressing 3/4 cup dte rose and flower, 1/4 cup gnarley barley, 1 cup ewc,1 cup build a flower, every week, and I still got fade. Big plants are hard to keep up with, I've learned. Lol
