Alright I'll post my update in my Caveman SIPS!!
These girls, all girls, really love these pots. I have 5 photoperiods in a 4x4 and they are big girls.
They are under the @Cultiuana CT-720 sun so let's give them that much, but they are thriving.

Nothing too impressive here with my 1st SIP grow. I don't know if it was these 2 particular auto strains since I haven't grown them before, or if it was some poor timing. I was playing around with some different nutes and had a pretty good deficiency right about the time that autos normally go into stretch mode. They ended up not stretching at all. Went back to "Ole Trusty" and rescued them and they been doing better since, but still on the smaller side.

Say what? Those are looking pretty good for not having the nutes dialed in. Lots of auto growers would happily trade you.But an opportunity to try again with the nutes you do like and see what it'll do.
Yeah, ok. Let's go with that.
Seriously Farside, nice looking plants.

Considering the last few grows in fabric pots looked more like the pic below (36 oz in 10.5 sq/ft), I was expecting similar results from the SIPs. Granted I changed a couple variables, so I can't blame it all on the SIPs. Up until I ran into the deficiency when they were moving into flower, they were doing exceptionally well. That leads me to believe it was more of a nute problem that sent me off the rails.

Ah, I can see why you'd be disappointed. Still a pretty good haul, though, considering.
Thanks. It turned out to be some good smoke too.

I will be starting another SIP grow in my other tent, hopefully Tuesday. Photos this time. I'll see if I got the bugs worked out or if it takes yet another grow after that. I'm not one for quitting. It'll drive me nuts until I solve the puzzle.
Your tent is looking outstanding farside!
Thanks so much Azi nothing butYour plants always look so perfect. Great color and bulk.
I agree! I agree!!!

## Attention SIP Growers ##
I'm wondering if any SIP growers use a water based cloning method. I'm thinking that might be an answer to the transition issue. A water based cloning method would theoretically produce water based roots which we then typically transition to wetter soil mixes to start and the SIP environment seems like it would be perfect.
In @lootznbootz 's Sipping Suzanne thread he suggested Rapid Rooters might be a good transition method. I've never used them, but it sounds like maybe that could work quite well.
I may have to build a bucket cloner to find out! Here's one @InTheShed posted a while back. Anyone have improvements or is this the GoTo?

I’ve used a cloning bucket very similar to this method for years!
I’ve always found it easier to clone and or germinate in rapid rooters.
I just took clones recently so my results will be posted in Suzannes journal as I get them.
They will be going to SIP buckets once we see roots I can put one in soil to compare results between clones taken the same day from the same plant. FOR SCIENCE!

Do your Rapid Rooters sit in the water or is it more an aeroponic thing?

The water sits about an inch below the bottom of the net pots so it’s aeroponic.
The air stones sit at the top of the water and keeps moisture within the net cup.
They stay moist and misted until roots show.
That's the one I use. With clonex in the water, gel on the cuts, scraped. I was thinking this would be perfect to root for a SIP container test.
