Mephisto Genetics Testing some Mephisto...for Mephisto!

Mark it looks like the EB is on 2x4 - can’t you remove them and lower plant?

They are on 2x4 but even if I pulled both out from under it toofless would still tower over goldy! Plus I didn’t have anything I could fit under drain hole til I propped em up! I’m not having issues now just had to raise light all the way up! If it seems like still growing upwards I’ll come up with something as drain pan but think stretch stopped on her..... FINALLY!

I agree...and keep the feeding tube covered to keep potential pests out.

And I do keep them both covered I just had the tube covers off cuz I knew was about to have to top off again!
OH BEFORE I FORGOT DO I WANNA KEEP JR RESERVOIR FULL ALWAYS?? Took almost a gallon each yesterday around 4pm cuz using pvc pipe I could totally just hear echoing cuz both were totally empty! Pvc fit down fill tube so wasn’t knocking on bottom of box from the outside! Then last night around midnight I checked and both were already enty again! Why I’m curious if I need to check the water level more often?!?

I only run 1/2 full for the first few weeks. Then keep full. Those look older, so keep full

Today is day 18 and my girls are looking pretty good IMO. They are ready to really take off. Gonna have to start to train them, been leaf tucking. Will move fan out of the way and move my containers a little bit forward. Then start training the plant forward a little. It has only been 3 days and I think the growth is nice. I did add a spash of water to each rez today. They were not dry, but I wanted to just add a splash of fresh water. Really excited to see these progress. Will share pics later. Peace, slow

Keeping the rez half full seems to be the key! Very nice growth so far.
I ordered an Earthbox a couple of days ago and will give SIP a try as well.

@slowandeasy

Knowing that you use as few fertilizer as possible (just like myself) I would like to ask you a question concerning the dosage of them in SIP:

- in synthetic fertilizers half of the recommended dosage is mostly a good way to start with. In organics as well? (Medium to be used: http://other.canna.com/bio-terra-plus )

- dolomite lime: the guys from Earthbox recommend a 1/2 pound per cubic foot. Other sources I‘ve found talk about 1 cup per cubic foot. What would you recommend to me? (I plan to reuse the soil).

- using RO water, I always add CalMag up to an EC of 0,4 regardless whether I use it with fertilizers or pure, which was perfect so far. Should I use CalMag in SIP as well?

Fertilizer: Green House Feeding Bio Grow and Bio Bloom (https://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/bio-grow/bio-fertilizers/)
Supplement: Mycorrhiza (granules to be mixed with the soil)

Thank you and happy growing!

I use Kis Organics soil. Nothing else is needed. Tad from Kis told me to use Tap water. I did use RO at first, but see no advantage using RO after using tap on them since. In Coco I use RO still.

Ok, looks like we are on Day 21 above ground. In the past 2 days I notice minor preflowering. Clearly these will be done in around week 8. Nice and fast! Not sure how much they will stretch? We will see soon enough. SIPs are working good. Will go add a little water in a few. Will take pics tomorrow. Peace, slow

I will be adding 2 products soon, 1- 2x per week each. Mammoth P and a Microbe food. I will not top dress these Sour Cracks, they are flying fast. But the Mammoth P and Microbes should increase P uptake and increase yields potentially. We will see. Mammoth P is a little Expensive, but you dont use much and it is only 1-2 x per week. Will report findings. Potentially do not have to top dress as much with use of these 2 products. Peace, slow
