Nice looking plant and set up Dryxi! Happy Gardening

What gallon size pot are you flowering in?

I use pumice in the bottom of my fabric pots. Only an inch layer though and i fill the saucers to the brim. Works great for me and I got the idea from Shluby! Here's a photo of my DIY SIPS for Veg & Flower. Fabric pots in a swick method and then a 15 gallon plastic pot with drilled holes...

I haven't posted in here for several months! I was using 20 gallon plastic planters for my flowering DIY SIPS containers. I have made a slight adjustment after several runs with my old set up. I was having inconsistent water issues which caused all sorts of issues. I have now went to 15...

I like 1 gallon, then 3 or 5 gallon, and then into the finisher which is 15 or 20 gallons!

Tst2015 you would be correct in the fact that fabric pots are hard to transplant out of. The good news that it's hard to get rootbound in them as the roots are being air pruned. Many people cut the pots or just plant the whole thing in another pot as the roots will grow through. The only...

The fabric pots are suppose to air prune so it would make sense any roots poking out fall off easy! That's a great sign to see healthy roots poking out. Planting a fabric inside another fabric works but makes it a pain when your all done with flowering. If you want to use fabric pots and keep...

I can agree that fabric pots are hard to transplant from but nothing beats the fast growth and better root health from them! You should check out EZ Swap Pots! Transplanting gets real easy with them.

All of your sip gardens are looking fantastic fellow green thumbs! With the rise in outdoor set-ups I decided to get my butt in gear and plant a few different sips planters with veggies. Today I just got the horseradish transplanted. Anyone here expirement with the bottom wicking agent? I...

I've been using it for years as a top dress and to add to my soils. Stuff is high quality and legit. Certified organic leaf mold with some added rock minerals. I've seen great results

Yodaweed don't forget to post pictures! I set up a couple sips planters for veggies this year too! One being a 100 gallon grow pot inside a kids swimming pool. Happy Gardening All!

Hey there Humple! I have used it before and I have always loved purple cow. Some of the best bagged compost one can buy in the midwest and its certified organic. Mix some in your potting soil and then top dress every few weeks

Thanks for the information Mean Green! I look forward to round 2 of SIPS gardening!! I've noticed my veg plants in fabric pots do better in sips than my flowering 20g plastic sips containers as the fabric helps wick. I may try a 20g fabric SIPS soon

Quick Update: So I came back this weekend to room temps at 90:wall: and a bunch of severe yellowing on all the sips In the flower room! I also finally choped my 1st 2 DIY 20G SIPS plants and am pleased with the medicine but could use improvements. On the next run I'm cutting all soil with 50%...

Looks super good MeanGreen!! Nice work on that sip screen! May I ask how you post your pictures in a slideshow? I upload through the image link and get full pictures which takes up too much space. I finally choped my 1st 2 DIY SIPS today. They took a bit longer than expected and won't get the...
