SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

Once they get acclimated to the sips, there is no stopping them

oh they’re acclimated. I do believe the roots have hit the water. I’m refilling the reservoir everyday with 8-10 Oz of water. The stem growth is incredible as well as the node growth.The stem is getting noticeably wider as the days go by. I did get a couple of burnt tips, but other than that it’s been incredible easy. Going forward, SIP’s will be the way to go. I have had 5 or 7 grows under my best, but this is by far the most vigorous growth I have seen. It could be the strain and or great white myco’s that used before transplanting.

Tent was turning into a real sausage party, and that's not how I roll Chopped 2 Clusterfucks, 1 Cantaloupe Haze, 1 PHK x Durban, and 1 Sweet Thang.

Keeping a couple branches off the Sweet Thang and PHK x Durban to make some seeds.

I'm sorry if this has been asked...

I understand how perlite helps with drainage, but is it really necessary in a SIP?

Edit: I am using an organic, homemade peat based soil.

 

[GrassBurner]

I'd say proper aeration is more important in a sip. The soil stays pretty moist, anything to help keep oxygen in there should be a benefit, to an extent.

At the bottom? No, just use the soil mix but pack it tightly around the irrigation. Might be best to pack it wet.

That's how I do it. I've been adding it at 1/3 of my mix, but was wondering if it was necessary since I'm not watering from the top during a stoner moment.

I always pack my wicks with ONLY pure peat moss. But that's just me but personally I think it really helps with even wicking! I am hesitant to show many pics of this grow because it going to be an insane yield.... but here are my 12 sips with mainlined to 8 tops... 5 x 10 room... 2 5x5 cxb3590s frames from rapid led... about a month left.

If I can keep my humidity in check for the next 30 days and fucking get rid of these damn spider mites on my one plant I'm going to end up with some insane shit lol

You could probably remove about 1000 leaves lol. That should help. Looks good.

How do you get that green structure?

Dude I have already removed about TEN thousand hahaha they are just super cropped to the tops now.

 

[meangreengrowinmachine]

Do you mean the branching structure?

Yes

But yes that was my initial problem for sure... that and I have at least 2 too many plants in there.. at least lol... this was a test to see how far I can push this room..the answer? Not this far lol hopefully i can make it through. I have thought about just ditching the one plant that is being a pain in the ass and saying fuck it at least then I won't risk it spreading.

 

[meangreengrowinmachine]

Yes

It's a tech called "mainlining" it's a combo of topping and LST developed I believe by sub cool himself back in the day. Let me find the main thread for you...

Aaah gotcha they are just expensive tomato cages from a big box store.

 

[meangreengrowinmachine]

So I decided to ditch the main spider mites affected plant... installed my portable AC in its place and will be spraying nightly with water and iso mix. Fingers crossed... I guess I might also look at taking off large fan leaves

I don’t know what happened there pics x100 , trying to edit ,
