SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

Well start of week 4 was yesterday. I noticed the one, was starting to fade up top, so I top dressed last night, and watered in some recharge. I'm assuming Mg deficiency, but I don't want to add epsom unless absolutely necessary. We'll see over the next couple of days if I'm going to need to add it.

It's kinda funny it's only the one plant i notice it. The plant on the left hasn't really faded.

On another note, it looks like stretch may be done. I may defoliate some; once I know for sure. Thoughts?

Looks real nice.

Since you asked for thoughts: don't defoliate unless your humidity is a problem. Prune suckers and other non-canopy twigs, sure. But leaves catch light and make sugar!
 
My humble Growbox grow at the mo' - a couple of shishito pepper plants. The one on the left was intentionally planted, the one on the right is a volunteer that popped up during my recent Panama grow. It's been a few years since I grew peppers in there, I guess now is its time to shine
