SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

Nothing wrong with tails!

I don't mind them really. I'm the only one that smokes my bud, so it really doesn't matter.

Hell I tell em smoke the tail or hit the trail

 

[Rocket Soul]

i hit 2.38 gr/W and 688 g/m^2, sips destroy. I like your use of fert strips

Very nice results, how many plants and what space/watts?

 

[Humanrob]

Hey @Humanrob take a look at how well the old sip thread is doing

It's definitely taken on a life of it's own...

 

[GrassBurner]

So is @Humanrob our SIP Messiah?

Laugh. Out. Loud. I love SIPs and miss them, but haven't used one in years because they don't fit my grow style anymore. I have full respect for SIPs and all that use them, and I'm glad to have started this thread. Y'all have taken it to another level! Rock on

 

[Hollatchaboy]

So if photosynthesis is hindered in yellowing leaves....



What about in purpling ones?

Another week in the books and they ain't dead Looks like I'm gonna have to do some serious training on the PHK (back left) and Grodd Squad (back right). GS came out of nowhere and is in a full sprint. Every female plant ive had from Pistil Positive has been vigorous and stacks nice big buds, yall should check them out. Great prices at JBC. PP hooked it up like crazy on the freebies too. PHK must have some giant bean stalk in her Pineapple Fields is looking much happier. I reckon the soil was a little hot in veg.



I have some sad news, Scooby Snacks turned out to be a male. I'll cull him this afternoon. But the PHK up front is exploding. The Dracarys is a squat little plant in the back there.



Pineapple Express


PHK


Grodd Squad



Planted 3 Blue Magoo bx3's from Dynasty last Monday directly into the sips, they've sprouted up. Makes me nervous planting a seed and not being able to check on it for a week. Need to check the timer and make sure it's not on 12/12 still. I'm gonna pop 3 of the Tire Fire I got from Archive today, hopefully I can get a female of each strain to fill all the tents up with females.


Time to get my ass to work and get all these leggy fuckers bent down! I've been top dressing every week with Dr Earth. I do about 2tbsp of dry ammendments, then water that in with Neptune's Harvest Fish Fertilizer, Neptunes Seaweed, and Ful-Power. This week I'm going to omit the seaweed, and add powdered langbeinite for a K boost. First I tried this



After my hand fell off, I got out the coffee grinder. 30 Seconds and I had a super fine powder. Will mix it up at 1 tbsp per gallon and use that water to mix my fish/seaweed/fulvic acid and water it in.

Where did you purchase the buckets? Nice work.

 

[GrassBurner]

Thanks! Got them from an online commercial kitchen supply. Most big cities have a few around, might be able to pick up locally The store I got them from is called Webstaraunt.com I believe.

I have a question and sorry if I missed it reading this whole thread but going to have some monsters and was wondering if jacks tomato feed 12-15-30 would be ok to use in the res to feed towards later stage of flowering?

I'd be careful of dropping your amendments into the rez itself. I've done that a few times and I think you will be misled at first thinking all is well as it may take a few for them to break down but then BAM I was seeing signs of burn a few days later. I think once they get soluble their availability skyrockets and you may find out too late it was too much too fast. And being in the rez unless you've setup things to let you flush/rinse the rez itself may be a PIA to make any corrective measures.

Top-feeding/watering-in any amendments seems the safer choice imo.

Next time I setup & run my SIPs I'll definitely have pumps in the rez (or a drain) so I could "flush" the rez if necessary. The one time I had the fill-hole with good pumps down in the rez I ended up not even using them so the runs after that I have left them off. But, as they say, hind-sight is 20/20 and I definitely see a value in the ability to drain/flush the rez if needed. I was using the pump with the tubing & electric cord out of the same fill hole/pipe as I didn't want to risk any leaks from having a drain but if you can contend with leak-prevention &/or coping with a leak should it happen, you could go passive and completely forego dropping a pump in there.

Those look like water soluble nutes to me, no?

Yeah they are

 

[Hollatchaboy]

Just be careful with them then.

Ive tried a few times with salts,both in the res and top feed.Ended up with dry shrivelled leaves both times.I fed low EC.
A small amount on top goes a long way.
I use a fish mix now it compliments the dry food so I think thats a better choice.
