SIP or SWICK....pro con dont help im lost
im a 100gallon fabrick 3x8 plant bed
and i want a base feeder system, the sip looks best with the pies and an overflow pipe.. however im fabric
so i looked at the swick but this seems to not have anoverflow? so i can see potensial problems? or does the air aroud perlite on the edge mitigate that,
i just know its not meant to sit inthe water and on the swick it seems they do?
the sips however have 1inch airgap
could i just make a swick, with an overflow pipe to control it to a level 1inch below the perlite ? or wil it not work that way?
im using bluemats and a autopot spyder wick
bluemats being top fed,
spyder being middle of the planter
and hoping my sip/swick at base as in flower i have 8 plants that drink alot i watn it there as a failsafe backup and as an addition when they need,
i still feed my teas weekly ontop and topdress etc ,
just cant see any1 with giant 100gal planters here what they do for perfection?
