Or go one step further with the break down to $6.25 a day, less than a cup of Starbucks!

I looked up Mapito and Growpito. They don’t seem to sell it around me. I found some info on DIY Mapito. Do you buy it or make your own?

@cdnbuddy made his , out off Rockwool chunks and foam chunks , he is Canadian
I buy my Mapito and then add foam chunks from a backseat of a car to it
@Floyd
Rockwool chunks and open cell foam is all that’s needed : )

What about those beads I saw? They aren’t necessary?
2 Likes
No not necessary : ) the foam does a great job providing more air and structure etc to the Rockwool and the roots love growing threw it so it doesn’t take up valuable root space in the crate , or reduce crates fluid volume capacity kind off : )
Very easy for the plants to feed etc from Mapito as it offers very little resistance unlike soil or coco , that’s where the power comes from , like dwc nearly without the hassle

Thanks for the info. A couple more questions if you don’t mind. So this is totally reusable? How much work is it to clean and reuse if it is?

The first time we use Mapito we must set it to 5.6 ph , this takes some flushing and it’s always good to go overboard , but we only do this for the first use
When finished the first grow all we do is flush the tide line out that runs across the top half of crate ( from flooding and draining ) , this is a lot quicker and easier than the first flushing as we are only quickly removing the salt tide line out of crate ( mainly k the lest mobile of the elements )
The first flush is removing some of the chalk lime from the Rockwool , so a more controlled and thourogh flush required
Been using the same Mapito for years over and over : )

Off the top of my head I go though 2 bales of promix a year. Give or take. It’s hard to be sure because I use it for veggies too.
Getting rid of it is easy. Secretly getting it up the elevator is the hard part.

@Foreigner imagine if you only had to bring your medium up once and that was you forever sorted : )

Yeah - it’s a bit of a pain.
I keep it in the trunk until late at night when the elevators have light traffic. I use a tiny dolly and cover the bale in sheets so you can’t see what it is.
I like promix though - I’ve got it dialed in.

If your dailed in and using salts , then the only change is ph and maybe f and d if your not already using that system : )
I think doing stuff at nite or after working hours is waaaay more suspicious and stands out a lot more , if it were me I would still disquise it but would brass neck it during the day’s hustle and bussel and think nothing of it

Prices are just creeping up everywhere .
Lumber, food , gas, housing all up at least 10 percent in 2 years imho.
But my smoke is still relatively cheap and better than I could buy.
I grow way more than I can ever smoke at the moment.
It’s more a hobby / therapy for me.
