Nearly forgot. I'm picking up some large 30"x20"x7" storage bins from Ikea tonight and gonna go full on flood/drain in the flower room. It's been taking me nearly half my day to water everything in there. And I gotta do it twice a week. No bueno.
Even if I hand water, it'll be way faster not having to move the plants around. Might even try setting up some automated watering/feeding...

I’m not setting up an ebb & flow or anything like that. Still gonna run 1gal fabric pots. Just gonna hand water, and perhaps add a drain if necessary. Maybe setup some automated drip lines in the future.Are you sure they're deep enough? I ran some of these a few years ago before going to buckets. Usually 2 per container.
Robot or human?

Just food for thought on the automated topic, I recently looked into the 'Blumat' system.I’m not setting up an ebb & flow or anything like that. Still gonna run 1gal fabric pots. Just gonna hand water, and perhaps add a drain if necessary. Maybe setup some automated drip lines in the future.
Yeah something like that. The blumats have that moisture carrot which is nice for automating. Another member a while back suggested these Netbow rings. Definitely an attractive priceJust food for thought on the automated topic, I recently looked into the 'Blumat' system.
I'm not committed to automating yet, but I believe this is the route I would go when I do...
How to Install Blumat Irrigation System for Cannabis
Over the years, the Blumat automatic watering system has earned a cult-like following among indoor cannabis cultivators. The ingenious design works with a series of interconnected ceramic stakes, all powered by gravity, to make watering a breeze. The beauty of Blumat is the highly customizable...www.happyhydro.com
I liked the fact that the system was expandable, you could start small and the add to it if you liked it.
Just my 2 cents.

18 x 1 gal fabric pots, each with a 5” Netafim Netbow ring fed by a 2 gph emitter. At 23 psi, I’m seeing a combined total rate of about 1.5 gpm.What size rings and bags?
I just got up and running today. Each plant got about 2/3 gal. That’s good for 3-4 days, but I’d like to get to the sweet spot where things are staying hydrated and the plants are using every bit of it. Shouldn’t be too hard to get there. So maybe 1/3 gal every day? We’ll seeI guess u run a pump n not gravity...how long u run them and how many events per day?
Thanks m8! Yes, I got the rings, emitters, and poly tubing/connectors fromReally nice setup by the way...I been thinking about getting some drip rings. Did u get the manifold pipe from the same place as the rings?
