I could do with a sip of something tasty, myself...

That is a good idea, how about homemade wine coolers

I was thinking of something medicinal; gin and tonic, perhaps.
I like the way you think.
Sapphire east/Tonic with a hint of lime is my "Go to" Sip.
And the constant Malaria threat is instantly a non-issue

Thank you mate.
One thing ive noticed over a normal soil grow is less bugs because the top layer of soil is always dry.

some of us have taken to putting black plastic garbage bags over the top,, really puts a stop to the bugs,
really dig the little sip

I had a gnat attack in veg, but simple foliar spraying with method-1 seems to have knocked them down. Haven't seen one in days in either tent.
I like to keep the soil bare so that if I decide to top-water teas or beneficial bacteria I have good access. Plus I'm thinking of planting some garlic and peppermint as a companion crop. Both are supposed to piss off bugs.

I'm 3.5 weeks into flower with a "patio picker" SIP. Got it from Lowes, Home Depot has them too for $20-30. Been working well so far, I let the res go dry twice to get rid of fungus gnats laying eggs in the top layer of soil. I am trying out doing a cluster of multiple clones vegged just past when they got established in the SIP, rather than one or two larger ones vegged for longer. These are all Purple Dream clones off of a previous run from a bigger grow. 2x4ft tent with 2 LED Quantum boards. Pics are from around week 2. Home Depot link: https://goo.gl/NhrYGf

@Tim Fox, interesting, how does this work?
With plastic bag on top of planter, there is no need to mulch? Top drees? Top water?
Or can all the above be done with the plastic bag?
And how would I add my cal/ mag, or other nutes? In the res?
Sorry for the barrage of questions..
Here is what I'm planing on doing in a Indoor Tent.
Thanks,
