[@LightWalker03]

I use a dual root zone aquaponics. Living soil on top in fabric pots with fish water underneath and the fish pond outside the tent

[@L3WM4N88]

I've used a wick system when I was going away for a few days and it worked great. I literally cut up a sham-wow into 2" strips and used those coming from a 8gal bucket.

[@Andyman-iy3wr]

Wanted to say that I’ve done a few runs with straight up cotton rope that Amazon sells for auto watering and I divide one rope into four ways and stick them evenly throughout the pot and it keeps the whole pot from top to bottom and one end of the rope goes into a 1 gallon resort that usually lasts a week or two works well

[@Theyarealreadyhere]

If 1 gallon of water feeds a plant for a week or 2 something is wrong lol

[@brownguy9920]

I use Coco Loco exclusively. I love it. That being said you can't find it for $20 a bag. It's double that. Locally I can get it cheaper then Amazon but it's still 37 38 bucks a bag. It ain't cheap. Running 25 gallon pots is going to get expensive real quick. You would absolutely have to reuse it.

[@OG_VeniVidiVici]

I learned about bottom watering from traditional ag nurseries. It’s basically the broke man’s auto pot lol the only problem I have is if you let the top go dry dry in peat, it takes way longer to get full saturation then if you do it when it’s dry but still has some moisture. At least in my peat based mix.

this is the channel

[@hashhound2389]

i've been using home made AC Inf type set up for over 10 yrs. I drape strips of an old grow bag over a plant riser in a large dish pan and it works great wicking up into the 7g fabric bags. The fabric strips work better than the strings.

[@TrentsGotAGarden]

I've been adding 10-20% chunky perlite to my mixed FF OF and HF soil for drainage, helps so much. Coco, maybe one day. Rocking episode!

[@pietromoraldo]

Running ocean forest and the ac infinity wicking bases worked beautifully

[@redeyerustler172]

Lots of knowledge received from Abolished over the years …may the frugal force be with you ✌️🌱💚

[@timpage5021]

Pigeons you can make your own Lost Coast . Grab some Dr Bronnners pure soap , soy bean oil and isopropyl alcohol. Super cheap and effective.

[@melrezlittleranch]

I have used large wicking beds outside to grow vegetables, they work very well. I bought a city pickers for indoors last cycle, and I got very good results. Easy way to grow.

[@jeffpapalia4463]

Made my first wicking bed in a swamp back in 88 .😊 my favourite way of growing ❤

[@abolishedthefarmer]

oh yeah i had a swamp style set up for a little bit. Was one of the most eye opening experiences that help improve this system.

[@jeffpapalia4463]

Are you on ig mate?

[@barbwire5bh294]

Abolished Farmer, great guest and knowledge, TY as always. I liked my Earth Box's this summer.. Ya The Stash theme song, always makes me smile!!!

[@growermo940]

I am using the auto pot system and coco and it is fast 👊 so easy

[@michaelbelluso]

Also, Franklin 3 wheel dolly under reservoir. Easy spin.

[@GRASZHOPPERS]

Easiest and best way i have found to flood and drain is a coco mat and 6 inch Hugo rock wool blocks. the amount of roots under the mat covering the table is insane IIINNNNSAAAAANE quality herb as well.

[@michaelbelluso]

I'm somewhat new to growing. Old school 3/8" diameter 15 gallon pot 3 wicking ropes every grow.

[@john-mtb5032]

Love auto pots and my home made wicking pots there abit the ac Infinity’s wicking pots

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

My old brick basement draws the moisture out in winter. Plus all the white wash. I went to 6 gallon totes for photos so not seeing deficiencies in flower. The 3 gallon work for auto indoors. But veg photos in 3 gallon totes about 8 inch deep. Many so I can train for seedling to tie them to the totes. Less stem length but is really thick. But use vermiculite for extra silica. I would like adjustable plant stands for when they go into flower. To get plants canopy just above the larf level of my lights. Plus can lower the plants if too much stretch.

[@davidwallman8678]

I use clovers and hay for a top cover and the clover roots give the plant magnesium

[@UbiquitousRomp]

I have the alien Easy feed system. like the auto pots which a also have, but the easyfeed comes with fabric pots and drink much more than the auto pots without wicking. Coco on top of an inch of clay balls.

[@DirtDemonGrows]

Always opening my eyes to try new things fellas! Thanks

[@timpage5021]

My AC infinity self watering pots filled with roots so much ithe roots actually pushed the pots off the tray. They looked like those odd upside down trees in Madagascar.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

Wick system is the best cheap lazy way to water. I let my totes catch about 5/8 inch of water. But use fast draining soil. Working with plants that like bacterial dominated soil. Bacteria stink. My cheese wasn't making the stink foot smell. Until I went to a bacterial dominated soil. Trying a guerrilla x stink foot cheese. Kick back from seeds I gave away. My wife grows Strawberry daiquiri and jilly bean in the orchard with fungal dominated soil. R.I.P. Subcool. She like sweeter stuff. And the basswood blooms every other year add a note to it. We even tried to pheno hunt that taste. I thought we fubared and mislabeled seeds. Found the dead cedar in my one grow spot makes a peppery taste. I was expanding that grow spot and found the roots while digging. Wanted to repeat taste that I got out of clone #4. And make sure it wasn't a one off mutation. Like pink grapefruit. I use to use wick system to grow many clones in 3d to make same yield as big plant in less veg time with vertical lights. You have 2 types of chlorophyll which like blue and red, but flavnoids have their own spectrums. Like old school sour d. that needs more uv and like an orange yellowish spectrum for the flavnoids. It was made and breed for old school lights or outdoor.

[@kevonhess9983]

i do this with kiddie pools and 15 gallon pots! I use diy super soil using peat moss from home depot

[@kevonhess9983]

I leave my pots sitting in water with no root issues. I do not use a bottom wicking material

[@scotty.grows.official420]

Cheers brothers! The title photo 😅😅 much love to you all

[@GregDunne-zf2ep]

1000 litre containers we got round up in and other sprays I would cut them in half after washing really well and they make great flood and drain systems most farms have them laying around and produce out let's sell them for 15 to 20 dollars

[@normagee]

gardening for dummies , i like that haha.. i do butt chugging with Autopots & its just so easy the way i like it 😎

[@um311]

shoutout to the force !

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

Can't I make my own self watering cloth pot stand with Tupperware and an old t-shirt?

[@OhighOHydro_420]

@@ZeginMakesMusic you can just use a larger plant tray than your pot and just fill the tray, called bottom watering

[@WatchCLtv]

That could be a solid DIY option from the sounds of it

[@RapidRootsNShoots]

Yes I have something similar rolling with a bunch of 2 gallon buckets and wicking mats

[@RapidRootsNShoots]

@@OhighOHydro_420 Can't fill the tray if you are't home..

[@DecayingReality]

1.5” rockwool plugs dripped in a plastic tray dropped in the coco when first set of jagged leaves pop. .5ec a+b @ 5.9, turn on the autopot for 30 mins turn it off for a few days turn it on. 1 solo cup of water in a ring 4” away from the stem. Bushes with minimal effort. Earthboxes with organic inputs is pretty fire for autos as well. Been buttchuggin for about 5 years now. Edit: Jeremy and! Hussey are both awesome. Don’t miss dipping cloth pots.

[@SEED_420]

I'm interested to try this method! I am going to give it a run 😮 thanks for the info 😁

[@420Tokez]

I've got 4 plants in SIP containers and 4 not, the 4 in the sip containers are doing much much better imo, healthier and bigger, switching one tent to flower now so we shall see

[@Natura_CDXX_Crafts]

I've switched from hand watering to xl autopots, it's helped drastically however I made a grow tray using auto pot bits so it's like a bigger version of the tray 2 grow they do. Boy did I screw up, turns out adding canna boost and pk booster together and leaving it for a week with no cover from the led did not do me justice, I opened up to a literal swamp! The only thing missing was shrek. When I tell you it was nothing but thick green sludge with a bad fungus gnat infestation I mean it 😂 definitely won't make that mistake again😅 The interesting thing is most of the plants got pH lockout (I assume) and very nearly died, theyre not going to be good anyway, tiny buds and next to nothing about them but 2 plants have thrived in it! Big thick resinous buds, it's really strange

[@GregDunne-zf2ep]

Back in the 80s I had a book and in it said certain strains where stronger if they grew for 6 to 8 months plants of the same strain only grown for 4 months weren't as strong as the older plants Idea's have changed over the years but back then most where sativa so it might of just been them because of the longer flower time

[@aquapros916]

How well would this work in an outdoor setting? Here's what I'm thinking.... Big plastic kid pool, with a 150 gallon fabric pot in the middle of it.

[@abolishedthefarmer]

yes i do corn and other veggies like this outside also. Whats really cool is the last two seasons ive not had to water. I got enough rain and just let em sit in it.

[@DownToFunk]

Daaamm I actually got a pack of these in my grow that I haven’t opened , going to try them out !

[@DoubleA_AMAfpv]

@36:57 continuous giggle. 😆😆

[@Grizz_grows420]

Rob giggling like a 12 year old school boy every time “Butt Chugging” term was used! You’re such a Man Child! 😆

[@timm_3r]

You can add 10-15% more perlite to your favorite soils if you want to experiment with a wick system. It is a great system if you have a busy schedule and a small number of plants. You can get something like a grow box for pretty cheap these days and run a completely organic water-only system.

[@deadboi77]

I grew up in gratiot co MI. during the early 90s. I know the brick haha

[@mattadams7031]

I know tax time I’m looking at the auto pot xl

[@timsmyth7942]

coco does wick very well and can stay wet constantly, the large volumes probably help maintain some things, but organics are not the most ideal in coco. can definitely be done but harder to get the most out of it. if watering is a struggle for you, his style might be better

[@timpage5021]

Rainscience mesh grow bags . The best pots and only gonna buy em once.

[@autotauf4569]

Autopots are god mode butt chuggin

[@reginaldfortunus1596]

Hey fellas! Question...Let's say im on a road trip for 3 weeks or so, and that i have a dozen plants what would be the best watering system for me? And maybe the easiest to operate "if" someone is looking after my plants... Thank you Gentlemen! Great subject !✌🏾🌱🔥💨🇭🇹✊🏾🇨🇦💚

[@ericrosenberg5083]

Anyone know if you can use Real Growers Grow Dots while also using AC Infinity bottom wicking system? Or maybe add top watering every 2 weeks?? Idk. Thoughts? Tia!

[@ScottyReal420]

Yes you can. I only use SIP buckets and the Growdots work great :)

[@TopsRtops]

Hello. My question is will the terpene profile or anything else change when growing a strain that originated from cold climate say a high of 72 degrees f and you grow it in 83 degrees? I’ve been growing in a warm climate of 83f and I’m thinking about growing these landraces in there naturally colder climates.

Was listening on iHeartRadio and the dude mumbled so fast his name but I heard abolished the farm/farmer looked on KZbin and there's nothing looked up butt chugging, wish I didn't know about that now, he's only on Instagram which I'm banned from, zero KZbin presence it seems? From listening so far he overcomplicates the wicking process. Clarify if he has no KZbin Was intrigued and would like to see the visuals of what he's doing which seems like adding more to an already simple process

[@abolishedthefarmer]

I have a ton of stuff on youtube bud. This channel here has a ton and playlists with hundreds of panels and content ive made over the years. I have a simple build i call the "Basic Bitch" set up but this system plays to peoples lifestyles. You can be a simple as you want or as advanced as you want to make it but long as you follow the basic set up youll get a harvest. Its been a amazing thing to hand to all the new growers ive taught over the years

Off topic but can someone show me absolute proof of the hoploid v i r u s ? I need proof not propaganda. Thanks

[@WatchCLtv]

There are plenty of studies and data that show the viroid (not a virus, and not like the Rona propaganda). These brands that test for it do not create it and have been testing other viruses and viroids so I’m not sure why there is so much tinfoil energy when it comes to HLVD. Now me personally, I do think it was introduced to herb by man intentionally for a select few to hold the genetics that are clean. But that’s my tinfoil thoughts. Happy growing

[@MrDong101]
