My concern on smaller size would be that soil respiration locks up some N and 5 gallons of media may require more fish than I used which may throw everything out of whack. The only reason I say it, is because I don't know.

37 gallons x 4 of soil will give you about 1000 ppm in an 8x8 (old mix). You could spread it out to however many plants you want. I guess I should have just said that. First few weeks probably quite a bit higher.

Ok, I do 6 plants per run so that's like 6 gallons each. I was planning on something like 8-12 gallons per, so that's very doable.

Ahh, I missed earlier that this was for CO2 production! I have a 10 gallon worm bin I'm going to be testing for CO2 production. I'll bet it puts out a fair amount of CO2. Need a CO2 meter...

I'm at Home Depot right now, getting 10 gallon tubs for a SIPS setup. I'm liking the Tupur but I need to get bigger yield numbers. Unlimited access to water and nutes got me two pounders in the past so I'm doing this to ensure that same availability.

Your using too small of pots lol I veg for 36 days and fill a 7gal no issues. You should just get 10 gallon pots

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.

Ya I wouldn't do sips personally I mean I've seen 2lb plants in 10 gallon pots running just how we did. Granted its lemon g which gets huge and ugly but still lol I've seen 4.5 a light pulled with gg4 in 7 gallon pots....5 gallon buckets aren't big enough for how your veggin personally I'd do 10 gallons just like u have been and you'll get better results.

Welllllllll... just in case 10 gallons doesn't have sufficient capacity, the SIPS approach lets the plant pull as much nutrient solution as it wants, whenever it wants it.

Best of both worlds this way, and I'm hoping this is the way forward to bigger yields.

Building 45 gallon SIPs for my new room. I'll mention you in a comment when I start that portion of my build. You might find it interesting :bigjoint:
