Just like everything gardening, there is a lot of bullshit ( not the good kind.. ) about it and how to use it. I dedicate a lot of time and space to doing all the "don'ts" to see why and what really happens. You can run organic soil a lot hotter than most people think is good. Take any good super soil recipe and double or even triple the nutrients included. Soil that strong, does need to be "cooked" a bit first, a 30-45 days is plenty.

Because of how organic soil works, it only appears to not produce as much. But all you really need is a bigger pot! Hell, use 50 gallon totes if you wish! I bet the ones you use now will work just fine with a good soil mix.

And here's how my low tech sips is made:
I used a 5" net pot stuffed with rockwool as a wick. I've also stretched a sock filled with coco coir over the pot for a wick. Both work well.

I also use an AIT unit from Modular Hydro. Its a tool to inject air into the moist soil at the bottom.

I'd agree with all of that, except the COB LED side is almost two weeks YOUNGER than the plant on the left at 7 vs nearly 9 weeks for the CDM lit specimen. Amazing! Same cut, same room, the only difference is lighting.

Yo Tystikk! NICE walls amigo! Recently started running my lights vertically so figured i should follow your thread! Plus I'm coming down to the states to visit the big boys in CO!
Did you say your led cob side is outperforming your (CMH)/CDM side and its 2 weeks ahead!?

What are your thoughts on this?
Are you gonna be doing some more COB work?

What kinda light you rocking anyway, brotha?

Cheers,

I am curious if the arcure method above would work with grafted stems.Bear with me here...... I use a product called parafilm tape for grafting apples. It is a stretchy plastic tape that seals itself yet disintegrates as the plant grows larger. So if you look above photo of the Arcure method, take 9 branches (not counting that one side twig.) and graft three per rootstalk, you could fill up a wall in much much less time. No?

I guess maybe this really wouldn't save you any time, but maybe allow you to gain height quicker. this may make not make sense to me in an hour.

I'll have a good look. Even if it doesn't seem applicable- I won't know until I look it over, I appreciate the additional perspective, thank you!
