Any SIP growers out there?

Been using these City pickers brand earthbox type setups for a few years now… basically cover crop with organic amendments and keep reservoir full. Easy and very versatile. 3 plants is def pushing it but can be done…2 is perfect.

Cool man what strains are we working with?

For this run x2 Island Crippy (both on the outside) and 1 Dankmaster Crippy from @OriginalDankmaster96. I’m running gaia green organic dry amendments this run and will be feeding compost tea down the tube as it progress into flower. Sip systems are quite amazing for there growth abilities

Thought I would share my SIP grow gone wrong… started with recycled soil and pH out of whack now fungus gnats galore but going to continue on see what we can accomplish. First time dealing with multiple issues to this degree

so should be interesting to monitor their progress. Pink runtz strain two plants in early flower stage.

I’d cover the soil and should keep most of the gnats at bay. And I’ve been putting a shot glass over the tube just incase anything wants to try and get in/out of that.

Are you able to get away without ph-ing using this method?

Yah, its a soil grow.

City pickers/earthboxes are my favorite way to grownsoil because its handsoff

1 per box for a 1/4-1/2lb or larger plant, 2 plants per is a 2-6 ounce per plant, and if you want to run #'s for a phenohunt or to sex/clone, its good too! Heres some vegg pics

2 fit perfect in a 2x4 city pickers

Yoooo, this is my plan for my next grow too! MC 1 part with water reservoir. How strong of a solution you plan on doing and how often for the top feed?
