I tried a couple different kinds of rope, seeing which could wick water with food coloring up quickest from the bottom of a glass. Out of those, the winner was 3/16" braided polyester clothesline, "Blue Hawk 0.1875-in x 50-ft Braided Polyester Rope" from Lowe's, which also alluded to "gardening" use on the label. $5 for 50 feet. Other kinds of rope probably also work really well, but it's worth further experimenting. View attachment 4782128

Ya, we gotta get some answers over here.
So are you using this wicking method with soil and just adding water to the bottom of the catch tray?

Another question, so is the Growpito inert? Is it added to you soil? Can it be used in a Drain to Waste setup?
So many question, so little answers! :)

So Growpito is the american version of mapito. Stuff was developed in holland. Its a virgin rockwhool with no binding agent that is loose fill. I'm doing drain to waste with it now however it was primarily developed for an ebb and flow system. It has styrophome filler in it about the size of a crouton.... Look up limbo grow on youtube. Most of the grows that I've been able to find are feeding at 1.0 to 1.2 ec... So it is stand alone and to answer the drain to waste part of it they prefer it not be done like that even though I gave it a go. Rockwool creates salt channells witch requires an increased feed frequency which I discovered. I love the cleanlyness of it and so far I haven't had any cation exchange stuff to worry about like I did with tupur and coco..

It is the ticket for the 1ltr airpots yes. I'd say I'm about a weekish or so away from bumping up the autopots. I will say though that I'm keenly interested in the table design that you are currently using as I just watched a video on the secrets of trees about the root zones helping one another share fungi and the like. This sexing stuff keeps a fella on his toes. Lost my phone skiing yesterday so hoping to get that resolved here shortly. 6 days from last photo seedlings are marching towards getting second set developed...

Man i tell ya plowing 11 days straight cycled through 3 employees grew by 7 new properties and managed to keep it all alive..... tweaked my back.. well froze and burnt up my water pump. 1400 dollars later i have a new pump with a voltage sensor to sense frozen or dry conditions. Im gonna get some pics coming soon.. 3 more days of insane plow time to make it through.

The reps from Growpito are flying up on Wednesday to share all the secrets with me and help me do some up-canning (21) in 4x8. So I'm gonna start a new thread for them.
I have seven plants running in bigrootz and should have them up-canned tomorrow. I'll keep the picks of my Green Bicycles run over here. I'll get a fresh compost tea brewing for the upcan and let them veg another week. This should be interesting. Thinking about getting a go pro for some video clips from the reps. Any camera suggestions I'm thinking of spending around 500 on camera gear.

I was curious if anyone has grounded their pots? Watched a 60 minutes documentary on the topic so figured id see if anyone has any stories.
