Turned out pretty good @Tinytuttle👍 looks like the wicks worked pretty well. Do you use cotton string or something else? I’m hoping things are going ok for you brother.

Hey @Hashtree good to see ya! The first ones I played with with the innards of paracord,the second and the best so far was the thicker Mason Line string. Now with the new pots and wick I think we’re 1/2 and 3/8 Is what I’m thinking. All were nylon ; I think nylon wicks faster imo

Good to know. Nylon probably hold up better too.
Very cool. It’s not easy keeping those solos hydrated.

Cotton rots but how quick depends on the weave and environment, I know I started looking into fire wicks after trying plain cloth with my mini tub grow I did years back.

And yeah old post, but you’ll be back when you can TinyTuttle :wink:

I use mine for pH correction, as leftover can be consumed by the plant.

But they be making soap.

Didn’t think of that … one small bottle of dry crystals diluted out in a solution would be a life time supply of PH up!

Well depending on the nutrients yeah, at a 10g per 100ml ratio im currently using say with Megacrop for example it takes maybe 2-3 drops per liter for correction which is nothing, but say Maxibloom i need a dropper at least per liter which is 15+ drops just cause of its lower pH and buffering agents they add, mind you it stays more stable because of that vs MC
