SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

Well start of week 4 was yesterday. I noticed the one, was starting to fade up top, so I top dressed last night, and watered in some recharge. I'm assuming Mg deficiency, but I don't want to add epsom unless absolutely necessary. We'll see over the next couple of days if I'm going to need to add it.

It's kinda funny it's only the one plant i notice it. The plant on the left hasn't really faded.

On another note, it looks like stretch may be done. I may defoliate some; once I know for sure. Thoughts?

Looks real nice.

Since you asked for thoughts: don't defoliate unless your humidity is a problem. Prune suckers and other non-canopy twigs, sure. But leaves catch light and make sugar!
 
My humble Growbox grow at the mo' - a couple of shishito pepper plants. The one on the left was intentionally planted, the one on the right is a volunteer that popped up during my recent Panama grow. It's been a few years since I grew peppers in there, I guess now is its time to shine

Looks good over there, I'm about to plant tomatoes and jalapenos and Bell peppers in my 4 sips outdoors for the summer, started plants from seeds
 
What's up everyone, made some 4 gal sips to give it a try. At 3.5 weeks flower. Feeding collected rain water cause I think my well water causes mag lockout. Do yall think this crunchy leaf syndrome is from ph being off? Also turning yellow and purple blue ish.

The one on the left looks okay to me, the one on the right looks kinda hungry. Hard to say for sure without knowing what's in your mix and if you've top-dressed since planting them
