SIP Club - Getting Hydro/Coco Results In A Soil Based Medium

[Kanno26]

Hello colleagues from the SIP club. I would like to show you my first attempt at SIP. I think it couldn't have turned out any better, this Bubble Kush was 8 weeks in veg and 9 weeks in flower and today she went to the ground and she is a brutal girl. I would also like to thank @Azimuth for showing me the SIP thanks and here are finally some photos.

Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to the SIP Club, Kanno, and NATO! Aren't SIPs awesome?!? Awesome plant, with a great yield. Let us know how she cures and smokes.

Thanks Buds! Just cleaned them up yesterday to get ready for flower!

I do mine like a week before flip. With the tent this packed, I have to lollipop more than usual and force all the energy up top to ensure adequate light penetration and to make the very most out of this grow. Happy to see your grows are also knocking it out of the park! So happy you are happy with these SIPS!

Each has magazine COVER potential. So cool when someone is good at both of these skills. Might be the best part, for me. Watch out now, I'm drafting you! Thanks for this.

Dude, you do know what those are, right? Straight up? Dude, those are donkey dicks dude. You did it, you reached the grail! How does it feel? Way to go K, way to go bro.

Thanks to @ReservoirDog I'm glad I went to SIP it's an amazing discipline and I've always wanted to grow monsters .

Hi here is the root pack from that beast and it's pretty brutal. Look at that in a normal flowerpot, I couldn't do this.

 

[StoneOtter]

You SIP'd it good!
Into shape!

A successful DIY SIP deserves special recognition in my book! (heh heh) Awesome job @ViparSpectra ...

I love my big lights, and I'm a naturally skeptical man, so I take a while to get on board.

Gotta say though, I've always liked this industrial design. The prices are good, and it looks like top quality components.... but most convincing of all, dude, are those donkey dicks! No small feat, that is.

In that vein, (groan) while reading this journal I'm reminded that absolutely nothing succeeds like success. So, I'm certainly rooting for you now VP, and I've always been rooting for Kanno; I look forward to possibly seeing Kanno and other growers on 420 give these lights and other Vipar Spectra products a test run so that I can follow and have more than just one data point. Congratulations on a successful relationship, both of you and thanks for sharing.

Dunno if anyone remembers these pop bottle SIPs and perforated nursery bag SIPs I was showing as SIP seedling propositions, but I’ve running them through some testing while my GG4 flowers in one 5x5, and I’m still struggling to clean up and reset the other 5x5 because I haven’t been feeling well.

Anyway I decided to keep two of plants running, one of each SIP type, and run them all the way to harvest in my little closet propagation zone. Each pot style has less than 500mm soil, same as a Solocup, the soil is 2 parts Promix, 1 part RezDog Ultra Myco Enhanced Worm Castings. (Doin the Trump capitalization thing, just to see how it feels).

The lights are cheap non-horti types, purchased at clearance prices. I know plants love to veg under them but the flowering performance, surprisingly, isn’t too shabby thus far. I do have some redder, small led supplementation I may add.

I love how the training came out on these Yumboldt Autos by Rocket Seeds, even though they are old school, small autos, I like that they fit the environment - and even in just 500ml soil they pray nonstop. That’s how you know your Sips are humming along.

I am running forced air with small aquarium air pumps into each mini-reservoir and run them 15 minutes every 45 minutes. When I started this the plants reacted strongly and positively, praying even harder and showing real growth spurts. I also experimented with keeping rez ‘too’ full and making plant a little puffy then adding air pumps and puffiness immediately disappears. Now with pumps running all the time plants won’t look over watered even slightly, no matter what I do. I am surprised how big a difference this air injection is making.

Recently I root drenched with an organic pH dropping mix I made and they loved it. I figured since the plants Germ d on Feb 1-2 that the worm castings might be done and getting acidic. Wanted to give them more calcium also. I’ve started on a weak Lucas formula for these ladies at same time and plants love it. I also have some bloom stage microbe mix that I keep using on these, and I’ve been playing with my KF and Jadam products I made last year and now have in great volume.

Anyway, these SIP types both would make great Sea of Green SIPs or used for the seedling stage as it creates SIP-type roots from day one of life and is a reliable way to avoid stalling your plants after transplant into SIP.

Interesting experiment, ResDog.

Sip results look promising.
And by far the easiest run yet, without the plant ever showing a sign of discontent.

These things are kinda fun to grow with.
