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.

No problem. I like it too. Pretty nice indica IMO. . That was a very old seed I popped.

Been busy yesterday and this morning w my friend from OR.

Come on down here and help me with the screen room! I have a nice cola of Purple Haze to keep us going!

The MDL#1 smells like cherry shoe polish!

Looks like you have enough room on those corner posts to put a second layer of screen, is that your plan?

I've been keeping an eye on how different people decide to (or not to) put some sort of cover over the soil when doing sips. I think all of the pre-manufactured ones use them, but I don't know to what degree attempting to really enclose or even seal the top is important.

In about two weeks I'll be firing up my first sip builds, and the plants going in at that point will have been vegging for about 6 weeks and are way too big to push through a hole in a plastic cover. I'll need to wrap them in a different way... or not. I'm not 100% sure if the top cover is necessary? I guess I don't know its exact function, if its just to slow down evaporation or if it holds moisture in in order to allow the soil to be damp(er) closer to the top?

watching your SIP grow....very interested
damn clean set up SG

Is the soil covered in nature?

SIP systems are bottom feeding with (very) little or no top watering. For the water to wick its way to the top and the system to use the moisture effectively, apparently (according to Earthbox and other manufacturers) you want to cover the top and at least somewhat contain or trap the moisture.

I'm not sure that every kind of plant wants all of its soil that moist. A lot of the instructions that come with pre-made units are referencing things like tomatoes. I'd be really happy if the top two inches dried out, and that discouraged gnats, which I've read it can.

The top does get hella dry even with it covered becuase it being a smart pot. It's quite interesting. But I chose to cover a bit to slow down evaporation. Rob. Yes. I will hang a net off the top post or something... Lol. That's why they are there. 16" off the net.
