I am in the us so I will definitely check that out. It's not that I can't tend to them daily it's just I don't want to spend more then maybe an hour max and I'm not set up with any kind of irrigation system. I'm hand watering which I don't like to do from the top but bottom watering in fabric pots gets messy so I water very slowly so that alone takes me a bit. Plus I'm experimenting with training.If you're busy and can't always tend to your plants, soil is the way to go. It's very forgiving and you're less likely to suffer a disaster if you don't tend your plants each day. I have to leave the house for 12 days at a time, so organic soil (or mostly organic soil) is the way I go.
Yields are considerably higher with other methods, but if you're only supplying yourself and a few others, you'll have plenty. (However, Bubba itself isn't a huge yielding plant.)
For most nute regimes, you'll want a veg nute, a flower nute and Cal/Mag, but I haven't used the products you're talking about.
BTW, if you live in the US, a really easy and relatively cheap source of nutes, look into Urban Farms fertilizers. I would have Cal/Mag on hand, no matter what, but both Ca and Mg are already in it.
A friend swears by the tomato food, but I kind of like the veg fertilizer and "garden of eden."
got a link to your drip system?I have soil on drip and feed dry amendments and worm castings. I only really need to go in the room every 3 weeks to topdress and/or fill the res. My drip setup cost about 70 dollars and took about 20-30 min to step up. I still go in most days and check on them.

Just ordered supplies to setup some basic drip on the pots to make watering a little more easy and efficient, I think I will appreciate this ease a lot especially once everything is all scrogged, or if I need to get out of town for a few days.
What I went with:
VIVOSUN 800GPH Submersible Pump(3000L/H, 24W), Ultra Quiet Water Pump with 10ft High Lift, Fountain Pump with 5ft Power Cord, 3 Nozzles for Fish Tank, Pond, Aquarium, Statuary, Hydroponics
Raindrip 016010T 1/4-Inch by 100-Feet Black Tubing
Orbit DripMaster 67431 1/4-Inch Barb Assortment, 30-Pack
Rain Bird ET256-50S Drip Irrigation Pressure Compensating 1/4" Tubing, 6" Emitter Spacing, Brown
Raindrip 13800UB Hydro-Port 8 Port Watering Manifold
I already have extra 1/2" distribution tubing, timer and res. I will have a spiral of the 1/4" drip line in each pot.
At some point you might want to look into Blumats. The work very well.I am in the us so I will definitely check that out.

As for bubba not being a high yield that just happened to be what I could get my hands on. I'm gonna reach out to a couple other friends I know have plants and ask for clones but where I'm at it's not easy to get seeds or plants. My other plants are of unknown genetics from a 1/2 oz that had 27 seeds in it so not a great sign as far as genetics go. So the bubba is currently the star of the grow lol
Oh And cal mag on deck.
How frequently do you have it programmed to run and what size are your pots?I have soil on drip and feed dry amendments and worm castings.

this too me looks like the same concept as plant nanny's or hydrospikes. I was gonna buy some of these for my other plants but my concern with the these in the case of my weed plants was weather or not the nutrients would get through the terra cotta spike. I was worried it might act kinda like a filter. If that makes sense. Your plants don't have any problems with nutrient deficiency do they? Being in coco coir if the nutrients can't get through the terra cotta the plants will die.At some point you might want to look into Blumats. The work very well.
