Nice looking veggies.Outdoor SIP's doing their thing........
I've got three SIPs going outside this year, two have tomatoes, one has a Dark Devil Auto. Are you in a state where you can grow cannabis outdoors?

Unfortunately not yet. Vote was passed but delays getting things into action. If not I'd have a hoop house full of sips outside lolNice looking veggies.

I look forward to seeing how those go when you get there.Unfortunately not yet. Vote was passed but delays getting things into action. If not I'd have a hoop house full of sips outside lol
My first Auto in a SIP is flowering right now she is well on her way and much larger than I expected her to be at this point especially for a supposed "indica dom hybrid" lol.........I look forward to seeing how those go when you get there.
Last year I tried various fabric pots, a couple of SIPs, and some in the ground. In the end, for me, nothing is better than growing in the ground. The downside is they can get huge, but that can be dealt with by starting later in the season. I am trying an auto in a SIP outside this year, I'm thinking its little life won't be long enough to be stunted by being in a pot.
How long was the auto grow from start to finish?My first Auto in a SIP is flowering right now she is well on her way and much larger than I expected her to be at this point especially for a supposed "indica dom hybrid" lol.........
This was two days ago.......

That one pictured is not done yet the last three were all under 60 days with one at 53 days these days being counted from the time they pop the dirt. I stopped counting the days on my autos now I just wait til they look close and then start checking trichsHow long was the auto grow from start to finish?
Wow, pretty quick straight from seed. You basically knock off all your veg time.That one pictured is not done yet the last three were all under 60 days with one at 53 days these days being counted from the time they pop the dirt.

YUP,,It started great and then all went to shit
Wow... beautiful garden! Is your entire veggie garden in SIPs? Have you grown all of these plants in SIPs before? I'm surprised about the potatoes, but I've never tried to even container grow those, let alone SIP grow them. I look forward to hearing how it all goes.This is what I've got going on outdoors this year. Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, zucchini, cantaloupe, snap peas and potatoes. The potatoes are the plants in the blue SIP buckets.View attachment 3956597
Thanks. Everything is SIPs. Yes, I've grown all these plants in SIPs before. Cukes do awesome in them. I've grown the potatoes for three years and I get about 25lbs of potatoes out of each barrel. But, you have to fertilize them correctly. I'm trying to get the yield up this year with the potatoes. But, 25 lbs isn't bad.Wow... beautiful garden! Is your entire veggie garden in SIPs?

I don't brother but I cannot say it does or does not work because I have no exp with it. Too add trichs I just throw a bluer light in at the end with my HID (Blue MH) and now with the COB's going to test the same theory soon tossing 6500K in but in another grow not right now.Do any of you guys shut the lights off on your plants for a few days before harvest? I've heard a few people mention they do this. I think to increase trichomes? Or maybe to stop the plant from producing chlorophyll?
I don't recommend it. I've never seen anything good come from it. Bad things I've seen include powdery mildew and mold.Do any of you guys shut the lights off on your plants for a few days before harvest? I've heard a few people mention they do this.

That is just fantastic and you could grow some monster MJ plants in the same setup wow.Hey guys. I've been skimming the posts, trying to catch up.
I grow my tomatoes in water. Not a SIP, but a redneck raingutter grow system. I think it would work with weed too. I try to keep the water 3" inches deep at all times. {I've got my drain running into the pepper pit, so I keep the water turned on just enough to keep a little overflow going} And the part that goes in water should have a higher % of good potting soil than the soil mix in general. {I use a lot of manure compost, and it can sour if too far down in the water} The soil has enough food for a season, but I do add teas to it once in a while. This is my first year growing in buckets. I started out in grow bags two years ago, then added 3 gallon plastic pots last year. They are doing much better this year. But the hog panel is the biggest improvement. I used string before, and by the end of the season it was a mess.
