Looking good Someguy, that extraction fan you blessed us with is awesome! Thank you so much! 
I took out the smaller fans and now it's just sucking air into the tent through the ducting on both sides 
so much better. Also that fan adjuster has come in handy.

10 days sounds like a dream to me. I could have kicked it in CO a lot longer
SG I got three more bids and a 8x12 is going to cost me about 1300 all finished. Four years building cabinets and not contracting and shit went up. Still $1300 done and paid for is way better than the 3k + to have it done. Hell that one PP got is going to be 10k

SG I'm digging this plan. I don't spend much time looking at new grow styles any more, atleast not lately so I hadn't seen these sips until you started posting about it. I really dig the idea. I can't wait to see how this goes for you.

I'm gonna be a negative nancy here and say it looks like a pain in the long run. i have thoughts but no experience so I'll just see how she unfolds for ya. Looks like fun either way cuz u know how I like to fuck with shit too!
I think I'm maybe a little negative about it cuz I just think dwc (even though it's not sort of) and I'm not a fan of dwc.

I checked out the stuff hyroot posted a few pages back, havn't been to the thread yet. I could see what your saying Chaka, I've never been into the idea of dwc even though some guys love it.
So heres my question about the sips. Do the roots ever actually grow into the water, and soak in it, or do the roots stay in the soil sections of the system?

yep. 6k is paid off cash, 10k if I just make the min. for 3 years. Not cheap, thats for sure!! 1300 sounds a lot easier to swallow then 10k thats for sure.10 days sounds like a dream to me. I could have kicked it in CO a lot longer

Yea...after seeing how much maintenance aerocloners are, and how easy it is for shit to build up bacteria and how quick stems can rot, etc and all that ph-ing...sounds like so much work and room for error in my mind for DWC.

Roots do grow into the water. But it's not Dwc. The main root mass is in soil or soiless mix. Apparently adding airstones does not cause the same problems like water culture. Probably because of no nutrients in the water. I've actually been researching systems for s while now and then hyroot posted these. Im pretty sure it will work slick from what I've researched. Imagine watering twice a month.

Not supposed to. Should keep it perfectly watered at all times. I can tell it is working. Top soil is still damp but nothing is "soaked". Can tell the soft pot is evaping away. I'm thinking this is gonna rock. Gonna get a PVC cap for the feed tube to prevent gnats and put a layer of worm castings on the top to the same purpose. So far so good. Real test is next flower round with it. Might make a second one so I have two to test.out.

Hey Doc has my cut of RD GTH #1 we call it ghost or gth. I got it from a friend. oh we have 2 3-bar that made it 3 didnt pop dirt. 1 is a tri ploide

I will run a few in the middle that can be taken out so I can access the rest. I really need easy access. The moving them to water and trim, spray, etc.. is killing me. That is the thing about he sip, it raises it a bit too which is nice. Can sit on floor and clean underneath instead of laying on floor. LOL

@Thundercat @supchaka it's sort of a combo of dwc and living soil if using air stones. Air stones prevent slime from developing. There's no pump in the resi like aero cloners. So the water never heats up.
Then roots will grow into the water. But there isn't any nutes in the resi. It's just plain water. No stems or light hitting the water. It just waters the soil more efficiently. No dry spots and no over saturation. There is a gap of air between the top pot and the water. So to add more oxygen to the roots in the pot. It's kicking ass right now.
@captainmorgan has been running Octopots for a while now and octopots are the same as @SomeGuy design . Captain gets great results too
