What do ya think? Defoliate these inside the cages? I think they're 4 tops. I dunno, they look way different than how I normally grow my plants so it's hard to give advice on that front.

Do you have a diagram for the s.i.p. you use? Just curious. I'm currently watering most of my plants by hand,but also have 5 on a blumat system. I have another blumat set up with 5 more "carrots" that I'm going to use, but i would like to try a sub irrigation setup also. Thanks in advance!

No diagram needed. It’s just a fabric pot sitting on a bed of perlite. Water goes into the perlite, and the fabric pot wicks water up from it. Once the roots break through the bottom of the pot, they’ll drink water directly from the perlite.

Kind of doing this in a test run....I attached 2 buckets together with the bottom one having the lid on. Drilled holes through the bottom of the top bucket through the lid on the lower bucket. I ran a few wicks in various spots from the lower one into the top one. Filled the lower one with water and the top one with soil. In theory, the top will wick from the res below. Working now but the plant is so small. Real test comes in flower.

Yea i agree with mtraindog.. Its definitely a good thing to see.. Fuzzy cotton candy lookn mycellium. The more humidity and warmth will speed the process up.
Just my 2 cents. Thx dude

That's dope! I have been looking at different styles and the needed equipment most of the evening. Will you be journaling the plant you have in the pot?

Are you amending the soil or using liquors fertilizer?

Very nice method. Like u said once those roots bust threw fabric pot theyll love them nutes in the perlite,= explosion of growth up top. Im a fan of perlite myself. I like layering my organic soil with it.
But wil b watching to see how they go 4 u under those 132's..

Hey @Big Terps! You already know how things are about to go down under these lightsVery nice method. Like u said once those roots bust threw fabric pot theyll love them nutes in the perlite,= explosion of growth up top. Im a fan of perlite myself. I like layering my organic soil with it.

I haven’t tried putting nutes in the perlite yet. I have thought about it though. I worry it’ll get too gunky and invite unwanted things?
Maybe next round when I do some 1gal pot runs I’ll try to figure something out similar to those octopots... I’m down for some experimenting!
