Those SWICK pots always show a Blumat reading about 30. It turns out that with this soil, that is the number you want. I was drying out the soil in the 7 gallon bags in my little tent. So, the worst has been transplanted into my little SIP pot. Got one of these at WMT today...

Put rinsed perlite in the bottom res... they use soil as the wick like the earthpot does. under those grills is the hollow area, and roots won't go in same as an Earthpot. We'll see how it does. If the pot was raised so the waterline is 1/2" under the grill via a control box, I bet it would be self watering.
Added a layer of the improved soil I plan to use for my next run, and moved the poor plant in... drenched and re-inoculated, and now watching the water level in the little built-in res.
