Haha! Okay. I definitely didn’t think it was a Spaceballs reference. Love that movie.
I googled “MTSBW” right after I asked and it said it stands for,”May the Science Be With You.” I thought,”Oh, okay, that’s cool that Crunch is putting that out there, I guess…” but I like your version a lot better haha.

SIP on good brother
Question for yall SIPers, doing my first try with a city picker SIP and the blue dream cut. Im curious how to tell when to add water to the rez - Ive been adding ~1 gallon every 2 days and it seems to be fine. Looking down the fill spout it has looked dry each time.
You can use a stick or a longer thin dowel and stick a cork on the 1 end and drop it down the tube. Mark lines on it for 1/2 and full res. You can use colored tape for visual aid 
Hope this helps
I stand over it and if I see it’s empty , I refill. Nothing fancy. Even if it goes a day or two dry, it won’t harm the plant as the soil always remains so moist with the tarp cover on it.
Appreciate the tips! I read its about 1.5 gallons to fill completely? Seems to be working well so far, blue dream is a happy camper… kind of always is but it is a slower drinker. I put some stakes kind of close to the plant and they seem a bit wobbly, thinking stakes in the wicking corners might be more effective as they go a bit further in.
They will be a bit slow in the beginning thats why you let a little bit of dry out happen to get the roots to spread out. Once she’s established she’ll drink more. If you’re using a cover ot won’t use as much water because your not seeing much evaporation like you would with fabric pr plastic pots. This is partly were your aging happens in the perfect grow environment for microbial and fungal growth
Hey @ramblinrose! Glad you are giving SIPs a go!! I was informed by our mutual benefactor that the BD cut doesn’t like super wet feet, so I’ve been letting my reservoir go completely empty between refills.
I use a piece of bamboo to see how much water is in the reservoir. I initially fill the sip all the way to overflow, then mark the bamboo at the full line. Hope that’s helpful and happy Thursday!!
Good to know on BD. Maybe ill skip a fill to keep it happy. Good call on the stake to judge!
Yea im psyched to try it out and compare to the raised bed.
I’m running SCBD cut and prob about a week away from chopping. I’ve done the same SIP way as all my other plants and blue Dream seems like it’s having no issues with “wet feet”
