Great rigging my friend.ordered 3 apple betty seeds from bernies. only one germinated. here she is. i just turned her to flower and took 7 clones for my sip setup.
Hello , looking good ,one question though why are black SIP buckets sitting on white trays when the overflow appears to be plumbed in and no chance of spilling.getting ready for next cycle. gonna try the grobucket sips. i made a 7 gal reservoir sitting on the control bucket that controls the water level in all 6 buckets. pretty much hands free for a week....will keep track of that.
Nice work @kahoona ! Looking really clean.getting ready for next cycle. gonna try the grobucket sips. i made a 7 gal reservoir sitting on the control bucket that controls the water level in all 6 buckets. pretty much hands free for a week....will keep track of that.
there are over flow holes drilled 3.5" from bottom. the control bucket maintains a full bucket but not enough to spill out. it uses a float valve to maintain level. all gravity feed. any spillage that does happen just drains away down the sewer. all over flow holes are at the same height.Hello , looking good ,one question though why are black SIP buckets sitting on white trays when the overflow appears to be plumbed in and no chance of spilling.
oh man it's a righteous moment to see a sweet grav feed control bucket SIP (I've been ranting now and then). It's, like, 0330hrs here and yet I have bible-boomer lights streaming in the windows! I had to put on some sunglasses because your future is so bright!

nope...those are the feed lines. small holes drilled 3.5" up from bottom are over flow holes. i know they are kinda hard to see but they are there.From pictures it looks like overflow pipes have clear hoses running from them.
I see them now ,nice job and a nicely designed grow room nice and tidy
Garden looks terrific.updated pics...3 more weeks.
I love Apple Betty and MC.little update. one thing i noticed about the grobucket compared to straight soil. if the soil drys out even a little bit then it starts to feed on its leaves more. mom gets a gal of feed every other day...prob should be fed every day. these grobucket inserts make sure the plant always has what it needs. its never over or under watered. the clones in the sips are not deficient. i just wish i would have put this big mom into a sip bucket....wow. im using mc as feeds with some calmag. ph is around 6.6 using filtered tap water. this apple betty is a monster. cant wait to try it.
