Looks like you had something munching on the leaves?

That was just me lol. Those were impacting the hard plastic rim. I do think I had one or two that looked like mice chomps in the basement. So traps with peanut butter went out. It’s an old house.

DLA 5 x Goji Og are loving life. Just flipped then to flower about a week ago. Plan was to perpetual grow using the 2x4 for veg and 4x4 for flower. Spider mites launched an assault in the big tent, and I'm not taking any chances. So they'll flower in the 2x4
Grew this plant last year and loved it!! Beautiful nugs and killer smoke. Front plant looks similar to the plant I grew before. Took 8 clones off of it, hoping to make a mother out of one cline so I can try a sip sog.
Made a little cloner, hopefully it works
Used a little plastic tote, and a jet pump with aerator tube. taped everything up to seal out light, and dropped them in. Added some multi zen and ph'd the water to 5.5 We'll know in a week or two

Thank you everybody for sharing! I read almost the whole thread and a bunch of related threads involving these SIP's. It also led me to find SWICK's and I'm playing around with both ideas. I love the ground water concept!
I rigged up a little make due SWICK to help me keep up with the watering for my lady in flower. I also started 2 seeds in a SIP that I made out of a 10 gallon fabric pot, 4" net pot, and a short wide storage bin that the 10 gal pot sits on. They are wrapped with panda film. I haven't fully saturated the 10 gal or hooked the seedlings up to the SIP yet, as I'm waiting for the third node or so to do so.
I need to take some more pics! I'll also be keeping updates on my grow journal I just started https://www.rollitup.org/t/20-gal-of-gold.1062838/page-2#post-16551935
Amazing stuff here guys keep killing it

Wondering what people are doing with SIPS and humidity? I have a growbox that has been in the garden and I just pulled it inside. I have about 400 W of LED and pretty good circulation with fans. I have a 6" vent fan on an Inkbird system and the fan is constantly on since bringing it in. I can't seem to get the humidity down, and the constant venting is keeping it cooler than Id like.
I'm ok for now as I'm early in flower, but surprised as with my setup Ive never needed a dehumidifier before.
The growbox has a burlap type material. Maybe it would be better with some black plastic over it? Anyone experience anything like this?

@Nwtexan
you might also want to cover the water pipe hole. But yes this has been an issue for me sometimes also.

At the mention of water pipe hole I got the image of someone putting a slide in the side of the sip and using it like a bong.

Some background I also back in the early 2000's had this BRILLIANT business idea I wanted to make... people would send me pics or random shit they wanted to have made into a bong, I would quote them a number and if agreed they would mail it to me I would then craft it into said bong and mail it back. It was going to be called "Hit Dis!" and the logo was going to be the planet turned into a make shift bong... Pipe dreams.... as it were hahahaha

2 seedlings in a 10 gal fabric pot SIP set up outside
Keep in mind that's about as much sun as they get!
The big girl leaves them shaded for most of the best sun exposure, and they receive mostly indirect/diffused light. They have also been started near harvest time! LOL
A few experiments going on at once.
2 in a pot, off season crops, SIP's, and growing without much light are all new to me. All of these methods will recieve additional more controlled experiments and side by sides in the future, but it's a start and it adds fun to the grow! We'll see how they do LOL
