I'm a coco grower watering daily.For automation, my go to would be some form of hydro.
Sounds like you are a soil grower, I'm not much help there, but I'm sure someone will be along to help you.
(I am in coco but I forgot to put which hydro system)What is the best feeding/watering system for automation and speed.
Initial cost does not matter nor the time to set it up.
I am hand watering at the moment and it is getting tedious.
Will be for around 20 plants
Please give reasons for your answer
Sound cheersif you stalk his profile i remember he had a thread of him building out his system too, maybe he can link it himself because it was a while back if i remember correcly.

My automation - hands off best fit for you is RDWC. Once it is properly set up, you can go weeks without touching it if that is your thing.I'm a coco grower watering daily.
What type of hydro flood and drain?
Or drip or dwc
Right now I have dialled in my environment and it is fully automated with it all being run off sensors and so on.My automation - hands off best fit for you is RDWC. Once it is properly set up, you can go weeks without touching it if that is your thing.
You work with a res that is tied via plumbing to your grow pots, and all the measurements, top offs, aeration, chilling, PH control, etc is done in the res. All of those things can be fully automated if you like.
Add in an AC (mini split) a humidifier and dehumidifier, and some other tidbits and you can just stand back and watch things grow. I never do lol, can't keep my hands off the wheel personally. But as a testament, I recently had some medical issues and was in and out of the hospital for a while. I pretty much abandoned the grow, and I am still going to harvest!
I enjoy watering and enjoy tending to my plants but at the moment I am spending 1-2 hours a day doing this and it is a struggle whilst managing a business.I enjoy hand watering coco but maybe I'm just weird...
Do hempy buckets...I water 5 gals every 3-4 days...I spend like maybe 20 min a week in the room lolI enjoy watering and enjoy tending to my plants but at the moment I am spending 1-2 hours a day doing this and it is a struggle whilst managing a business.
oh yea for sure, for max automation rdwc ftw lol. I was under the impression you're sticking with coco so i suggested some type of drip system. But yea i had an rdwc set up for a bit and literally the only thing i did was tend to my main water tank. super ez and the growth rates were almost TOO fast for me. I just went away from it because i expanded my room and it felt like too much to do a big ass rdwc system.My automation - hands off best fit for you is RDWC.

Pretty easy to build your own, but I can't really help you source parts across the pond there. Maybe a pre-built is the way to go.Sound I'm gonna look into it.
Found an alien one for like £1000 which comes with everything so I might look into that
I'm actually a plumber for work so probably wouldn't be to hard to build my own.Pretty easy to build your own, but I can't really help you source parts across the pond there. Maybe a pre-built is the way to go.
