I would say the best way to find out is to try it. You'd think for half the amount of soil, you would need half the wicking volume, and if the totes are longer on one direction, it might be better to have one wick at each end (even if they're a bit smaller) rather than just in the middle...

Second growbox harvest day, for the remaining Erdpurts. Looking a bit haggard but still made it to the finish line Gonna start some Ace seeds Ethiopian next but probably won't flower them out til July or August. Until then, happy SIPing to all!

Asimina triloba, aka American paw-paw. We grew three of these starting from seed in 2019, this is the first year they've got flowers. Maybe we'll get lucky and have some fruits in the fall... These are probably my favorite plants in the whole garden. If you're in the eastern USA and don't know...

Nice, I've not used my growboxes outside (too paranoid of bringing bugs inside) but I've grown tomatoes and peppers in them in the tent with great success... Post some pics if ya feel like it, I dunno if this thread is just for weed or if anything in a SIP is allowed :P

I would start with following the directions on the bag, that seems to work fine with the organic dry fertilizer blends. In case you hadn't already found it, there's a huge thread on here about using Gaia Green fertilizers - https://www.rollitup.org/t/official-gaia-green-grow-method.1026893/

Dang that's a good idea. I've just been adding a few cups of KiS all-purpose and tomato-tone to mine between runs. I think it might have been a bit too rich this round, got some burned tips and signs of excess nitrogen. I'm either gonna go light on the fertilizer for the next round or just add...

What'd you do to balance the soil?

That's an unlikely spot for any sort of mold/mildew to germinate, the pistils on the outside of the bud are relatively dry and oily compared with the moist/fleshy interior of the bud. You could try prying the bud open to see if there is brown/dead plant matter around the stem, but all the...

Oh yeah, I feel like the recycled soil just gets better each round... Are you planning on using your growbox outside this summer?

Nice! Yup SIPs are the way to go, I can't imagine a more simple method Those buds look great and that coconut oil looks like it should be fun...

Thank you! I hope they smoke as nice as they look... Yup, this was a water-only grow with recycled/amended soil. All I did was add plain tap water to the reservoir when it was empty, and watch grass grow

First harvest from the growboxes tonight, the one on the right came down after only 59 days of 12/12 Thanks again to @Tim Fox for the inspiration to use the growbox, and happy SIPing to all!

You're gonna have to find a different circuit to put something on. Add up the Amperage of all your high-power devices that might run at the same time (AC, heater, lights, etc) and try not to run any circuit at more than 80% of the breaker Amps rating (like if it's a 15 Amp circuit, try to only...

I would say after it has rooted, resumed new growth, and has a stem big enough to clone

I keep mine on an Ikea shelf under one of these: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-4-ft-Light-LED-Strip-Shop-Light/5000858987 One half has two or three moms/vegging clones, the other half has a little propagation dome. And here's a good guide for keeping small moms, in case you haven't seen...
