Nice grow Hot Diggity Sog! Following along to see how things work out. I like the experimental approach, and hope you're still on track for your Christmas harvest!

And this morning. Moisture level at the top of the SIP containers is noticeably damper than the controls, and the SIP plants continue to seem perkier. I am going to wait on top watering until the controls show the first signs of wilting, which probably will happen tomorrow or the next day.

A few more shots from yesterday. All plants together... the SIPs... ...and the controls.

The plants as of yesterday morning. The control plant at upper front right initially had been the largest of the four plants. The two SIP plants seem to have caught up and surpassed it in lateral / horizontal growth. Water level is slowly going down in the reservoir. I need to cover the top...

Doh!! I just noticed that I labeled this thread as indoor grow # 4; it is actually grow # 3. Never trust a stoner... Yesterday I began my little SIP (Self Irrigating Planter) experiment. For those not familiar with the concept, there is a lot of great information on this forum. The...

A few more inside the tent...

Heading into the home stretch - I'll probably be harvesting next week. Ironically now that I'm about to harvest, my leaf yellowing issue seems to be improving / slowing down. I'm wondering if it possibly could be caused by my water pH?? I checked my county water report a few weeks back and...

Thanks for starting this thread! I just started my bin approximately two months ago, using a couple of large plastic totes. I purchased a pound of red worms and made bedding out of coco coir, leaves, cardboard and newspapers. I initially placed screen on the top of one of the containers for...

Greetings fellow growers, Not sure if it makes more sense to post this in the organics section, but figured I'd start here. I'm thinking about trying a SIP setup for my next grow, and have been reading up the various threads on this and other growing sites. I am wondering how much SIP...

Yesterday I transplanted from solo cups to 1 gallon smart pots. All seedlings are rooting nicely and growing vigorously. I turned off the CFLs and transitioned to a small quantum board LED, starting an 18 hour light cycle today.

Greetings, fellow growers! This is my third indoor grow, and I will be moving from a super soil mix to Clackamas Coot’s organic soil recipe, purchased premixed from Buildasoil. I popped four Acapulco Gold seeds from Barney’s Farm, and all four germinated. After germination they were moved to a...

I finally found a plastic tote that looks like it will work in my tent: a 27 gallon tote that is 17.5" wide by 25" long by 19.38" tall. If anyone else is trying to fit a couple of totes into a 3' x 3', tent, here's a link...

Thanks Projectinfo! For my next grow I was hoping to move up to a couple of 20 gallon pots and give no-till a try. I could possibly go down to 15 gallons, but would rather stick with 20 if I can. The problem I'm finding is all the plastic tote SIP options won't fit two containers in my 3' x...

Thank you brother! The odor is very nice - until flowering it had a very chemical / diesel type of smell. Once it started to flower, though, it's had a sweet odor layered on top of it that I can't quite describe. I like it, though!

Thanks for that - what site did you find these specs on? The other specs I've seen on the Earthbox indicated it had less than 15 gallon soil capacity. If it can actually hold 15 gallons and now has a 3 gallon reservoir, I might like to try it out.

Well I've done a lousy job of keeping this journal up-to-date: I'm limping towards the finish line with this grow. I'm a bit disappointed with how this one has turned out - I still have a lot to learn about how to get the best out of these plants. I've decided this will be my last grow using...

Congrats Doctor Detroit - good luck on your future grows!

Over the last few days we had the first rain of the season in Northern California, and my last of the Mohicans little plant that was culled from the tent because she quit growing got pummuled a bit. I decided it was time to bring the poor scraggly girl in and harvest what was there. Although...

That is just freaking beautiful! Just found this thread; I'm going to have to go back to the beginning...
