I've gone for capillary matting into a small res lolI bought a mini auto drip system off amazon just for this challenge. Under $50 Canadian. I’m hoping this helps share the solo cup watering load.
I don’t want to hand feed all day long at the end

Could have read that wrong thereThe matting will never break down on you but this auto drip seems to have a mind of its own. I thought I turned it off but it was shooting little loads every two hours last night
Well I'm doing that with my sog at mo so it 100% works, just make sure to line bottom with perlite so the roots aren't sat in the feed fir too long, it's basically using the same method as an aQuavalve and gravity fed system but flooding the tray yourself. I just got extra lazy and never actually put the float and tank on as it hit like a jungle. I'm flooding with 10 litres twice a day into a 1x1m tray with 20 plants in it. They're all healthy enoughDollar store DWC was a big fail...so I'm experimenting with bottom/wick feeding, just pumping to a 4" catering tray about 1/8th inch deep.
Test run so far so good
Cool! I started feeding my mom/dad tent like this too now for simplicity. Thanks for the perlite tip!!

Makes hand feeding SOOO much easier. Especially late veg before I usually put tank and aQuavalve onCool! I started feeding my mom/dad tent like this too now for simplicity. Thanks for the perlite tip!! Great call

Take a look at this, add a small tank, like a plastic trash bin and use the filter and grommets supplied. Even easier
Oh fuck it. Just award Fudge the trophy before we begin. Have you seen the shit he's been posting to the frostiest nugs thread? FIRE! :D
Kind words
Think it's just my new phone making things look good, moving to a whole new level in solo cups and I drool at everyone else's pics, always thinking I must think my ladies are beautiful, a bit like how everyone thinks their children are the best looking kids ever
I just think a good camera a helps show off the frost, colours and hues you just can't get with a lesser one,. I wont even attempt to get into freedom vs crappleNow I need to upgrade my phone to increase my yield?!? What’s next?
Edit: good news I ordered the new iPhone (android users - play nice) so hopefully when it comes in I can grow gorgeous trees haha
Does this mean I can pop my seeds into paper towels before, then into cup on the 9th or are we literally wetting seeds on the 9th. I understand some may be putting direct into cup so would be a slight advantage if I popped before then. Not twisting or owt, just checking as it's getting close nowGetting closer to the start date so reposting the rules as a reminder as promised.
