Nice and you just fill it with dirt at that point? So the medium is filling the net pots and that is the wick? I'd imagine the water would get pretty filthy after one cycle. But no mold or bad bacteria in the water?

I have so many questions this just seems too good to be true

Beauty. Do you re use soil?
Looks like I won't be able to have a recycled living soil with roots like that in the water.

I went SIP. Same soil just took it from the bags and into my @myke tested SIP containers. I didn't figure out a float but I am thinking dip sticks to test. I only have so much time at home and didn't get around to creating a float check. Fly out tomorrow oh well. I'm just happy I get to grow weed and not have to put a lot of work on my girlfriend, wouldn't be fair.

So we are back in business!

The strain is Lemon Tree. Almost didn't make it past the seedling stage. They wilted hard during a heat wave when they were bone dry atleast 24 hrs.

I used an old school bobber, the ones with the long pointed tips on them. Then cut a straw to length, so when the sip was fill, the straw was at the top of the fill tube. Slip the straw over the tip of the bobber.

If u don't cover your sip I suggest a top layer of cow manure, ie bu's Malibu. It holds moisture very well and stop evaporation better than peat soil. Also it has goodies in it that soak in if u top water lol. I even get some decent mycelium uncovered but covered is best.

Hi, this is my first no-till indoor garden.
I'm using a marshydro sp3000, 2x4 tent, ac infinity 4 inch fan and gaia green amendments and 1 1/2 cups of dolomite lime in the base mix.
My base mix was approximately 1/3 compost 1/3 peat moss and 1/3 aeration using rice hulls, perlite, dried beer grain, pumice stones and a little bit of vermiculite.

I'm going to let it rest for about 1 month and then plant some seeds!View attachment 4893578
