They work pretty well. Here is the pinky t I did in one…
Sub irrigated planter. Two 3-5 gal buckets nested inside each other. Bottom is the res, top is the medium with a “wick cup” at the bottom of the inside bucket. Bottom feed from tube on the side. I think there is a thread on here about them but it’s essentially an earth box. I’ll see if I can find the thread…
In the diy section I show how I made my first one but they are all over the internet… google 5 gal sub irrigated planter DIY.
This is the model I used to make mine, with a little mod here and there!
I use these cuz the plant will only take as much water as it needs and promotes root growth by feeding from the bottom making roots stretch to search for water. I feed with Megacrop in my water but this is a perfect system for organic/ water only soil.
Definitely! The pinky t’s that I grew only one was in SIP. The others had about 190g wet… the SIP girl was almost 500g wet!
