Do the two on the bike in the yard ever actually go for a ride or do they just sit there?

Anyone here ever do both SIP and swick to compare? I went the swick route as I like the fabric pots but sometimes keeping up with roots invading the wicks it can be a PITA.

I do like the results though.

No, I just compared SIP to DWC.

Tok..

No, I just compared SIP to DWC.

Tok..

And?

Cause I kinda remember DWC fondly in terms of results.. not in terms of work that goes into them..
But the nugs grew really wide, screaming beefcake!!!

Hey Sippers.....How often should I be watering these clones? This picture was from yesterday about an hour after fully watering them until runoff. Today when I got home and checked on them they seem a little droopy like they need a drink but the container still seems like its saturated. Any thoughts??

Are you watering from the top or directly into the reservoir?

Plants will droop, even in a SIP, if they have too much water. And that is more typical the smaller(shorter) the container because of the perched water table.

I'm watering strictly from the fill tube. No top watering at all.

Big one looks ready for transfer to 1 gal.

I was going to put them directly into some 3 gallon SIPs the gf got from Wallyworld. Any thoughts?

3 gal sounds good to me. Depends on your grow. I will be trying out 5 gal DIY SIP buckets for the first time soon, in my greenhouse.

My experiences tell me you should get proficient at both soil cloning and aero/bubble cloning as some strains really seem to prefer one way, and others the other way, and some will root either way.

The beauty of bubble/aero is it drops into a bottom watered environment really well with no hardening off period. You just soak the soil and as it dries down the clone hardens itself without detriment.

That way you can clone straight into your final container. I drop clones into 7 or 10gal pots all the time. Thats hard to do if you need to dome the clone, plus in a SIP, it gets the roots to the reservoir much quicker.

I prefer conventional pots as I like cloth bags, but the tutorial was done for a Swick. When you see it you will see how it's SIP friendly, even in a common 5gal SIP pail.

I cut this one on 8/17 & she’s still alive! She’s in FFHF in a 6” self watering pot. I’ve been bottom watering from the start until a couple days ago when I gave her a top dressing of EWC - I top watered then & added the mulch. So my question is, she could either stay where she is for a while or she could go to her final 10 gal SIP, correct? Would either be better? Also, do I need to keep trimming the leaves? I included a shot of the mother just to show off. Sour Diesel, 11 days post flip.

I think it was a false alarm just checked in on the girls. They look much better. I think it was morning sickness.

I gotta keep them small. I always veg to long and run out of headroom in the tent.
