been reading the thread and this didn't seem clear to me either ..
can move any sip plant to a soil or possibly coco media, and you can move a hempy plant to any media at all. both are good for that.
are you watering down the tube or watering from on top of the soil ?
if you constantly water from top of the soil once the roots have reached the res you'll have nothing but problems. sips needs to be tube watered once the roots hit the res.
the media in a sips is used to regulate. it's actually a bottom feed process. feeding through the soil itself will cause loads of imbalances.
feed to a 10% min runoff out the drain hole from down the tube and leave it.
yeah, don't feel bad. it's a lot to chew.
i can only run one style at a time. i tried an active dwc and a hp promix hard side bucket at the same time and near killed them both lol
you should be able to run a coco media as sips from the tube. the coco needs to be exposed to the feed water and it helps to have some extra perlite in it for added wicking, but it should work the same.
you'll probably have to feed it more often in flower than a promix media sip. refreshing the res before it's dry would also help.
there's a number of sips growers on straight coco or a coco perlite mix.
anything that comes out the drain hole is waste. you can collect it for house plants or use it outdoor, but don't refeed it to the sips cannabis plants unless you wanna chase ph and nute troubles.
hey mate i have decidet to move this plant into another sip with soil my questions is this when i take it out of the previous one it will have alot of coco left stuck on the roots what to do shake it and remove most of it or ?Each grow is a learning experience for the next one, and trying two new things at once (coco and SIPs) can complicate life!
