Based on your previous SIP experience, I'm guessing chaos.

Outrageous!
My
There was that Do Si Dos the weather killed and then the Giant SIP weather or Fusarium did for then the midge.
The Panty Punch and OG Kush are doing OK for autos but the Persian Pie still lives, maybe gonna be fine.

You can see that weird node spacing? My eyes can barely see it but it looks a bit odd. Either cool mutation! Think I’ve seen it before. Anyway she looks sorta great at times and sort of meh dried out dulled leaves at others.
I order to get a better read on her I put her in with the OG Kush. She got the same Nutes as them last night. I tested yesterday so its 310 PPFD in there maybe a smodge high so I just put her off to the side, def has a little shade there. I still want to DWC her but lets see tomorrow.
Like when you neet your older cousin's and realise they are bigger, more powerful and richer in green than you!

I’m gonna throw the 3x Panty Punch in the Giant SIP with the main event, Persian Pie They came with a free OG Kush Auto so yeah. Popped that too.
Couldn’t help myself.

Little trooper!
I mean sure she’s a bit light but that’s compared to some older ultra verdant OG Kush.
Be kind.

My decorative Autos for this grow.
The loner is an OG Kush and the other 3 are Panty Punches.
Same as these older ones on Day #59/80 today.
I’m determined to get this SIP over the line outdoors. My photo or auto I’ll harvest out there

Does that potting soil look a little wet to anyone?
Looks a little purple if nothing else.

I'm going with a lot of purple.

Me sauntering into the garage after they’ve filled 136 gallons of pots with coco
- Great job guys just one more pot to fill in an exacting mix, bring the shovels! Oh and you lads wouldn’t mind carrying it up stairs

This grow is on a little hiatus! The other three one not in Signature yet are taking up a little more time. Actually there’s two more as well I don’t really journal.Happy New Year, looks like you just may enjoy this a little
Cheers!
Nick…you had me at skunk and Thailand. I had a little Thai stick late 70’s and the first skunk 1981 after the great Columbian Gold drought late ‘79. More SIP references, I have no clue but will learn more here and other grows like @StoneOtter latest. CheersAww shucks.
Mostly @Jon - your suggestion
Its your fault
So the SIP is nearly built and the seeds are in a bag. Title is self explanatory but build and strain deets to follow. This is a 120L SIP built out of a trash can that I’m going to veg on one balcony and flip by moving her to another balcony on another side of the house. Slow burner journal. I’m hoping to harvest in around January. Fingers crossed. Pests, plagues and floods ahead on the tropical sland of Phuket, Thailand.
Here’s how I pop seeds. I was talking to @locoforcoco earlier who like me in the very recent past is stressing about popping seeds. I use basically the same process that Simon of Serious uses. Having structure to it fixed it for me. I’ll see if I can find the photo's I took of their instructions. This is almost exactly what they recommend though.
Putting it post #1 so I have a handy reference!
Here is a picture of 4 @Sweet Seeds Tommy Red Hit Cookies. 60-% chance of a red pheno. Looks sweet!
I put them to soak for one hour in a light H2o2 water. I take straight from our swimming pool as its an ozone pool - basically injects the Hydrogen peroxide into the water. It gives a couple of percent total H2o2. One hour only. The water btw is always 6.9. I fonmr why they test it to that but they do. Well at least thats what my Blue Lab Ph pen reads. They use droppers and paperI did a remote grow in the UK and we bought some low H2o2 solution and mixed with water - I think diluted too much as they were quite slow. We never keep seeds in the fridge. Love the humidity on them.
I take a two piece strip of kitchen roll and drop some of the same water over the towel and pop the seeds in.
I fold it up like a 5 year old wrapping Christmas presents. Adding a little, little bit of the soaking water which helps seal the package. I’m dropping 0.5ml of water at a time here. Very carefully, hence syringe.
Pop it in the bag. That’s a bit fiddly sometimes.
All bagged and zipped up with my cardboard light protectors.
I clothes peg the cardboard over and hang it in a darkish corner of the hallway/living area edges.
Once or twice a day walking past Inwill lift the bottom of the bag to the vertical and let it swing back down. The water that collects at the bottom of the bag refreshes the paper at it swings up. Neat.
That’s Stage #1 - Stage #2 will follow in 36-48 hours.
Next up the SIP build. Nearly finished. Later I’ll explain my methodology for mixing soil (Never grown in soil before so need to invent that)

Thanks for the reminder about this journal. The SIP just needs filling. The plants for it are outside already.

The big one is Persian Pie, two of the little ones are Panty Punch and the other one is an OGK. Pretty sure one PPunch didn’t pop. Easy enough to tell in flower.
So 4 Autos. Now organic in the giant SIP. Should look pretty cool in a few weeks. I guess 8-9 weeks and done.
March 16th. Busy time that will be.

A SIP is a growing container with soil above, a water reservoir below and an air gap in between. Grows bigger plants with less watering effort since the plant waters itself.

Oh that reminds me, I didn’t fill that support tube with perlite, we were discussing that with Shed a while back, the whole thing is one mix, no layering. I did get roots down to the res last time but think I can get a bigger boost this time.
I used a super soil with added myco, frass, vermisiltude, perlite and stuff. Can’t remember. Then I added dolomite lime, bat guano, insect bits, some magic rocks, potting soil, coco peat and more perlite. Maybe something else. I have Diatomaceous Earth to go on top but the bag is split so rather than spill it all over the balcony ai’ll do in the morning when I have a bag to wrap it in.
The Panty Punch I’m about to harvest has to be well over 100 days now. Means these hopefully will be done in 9-10 weeks. I can see a finish line finally.

Plant growing is occurring in four spots in the pot.
