Sweet double rooms you got going on there! How are you liking not hand watering anymore? Do you feel like you have less control?

Im liking the watering systems so far. I don't feel like you loose much control if the system is designed and built correctly. I am redesigning the first prototype for the next room to fix some of the minor issues i had. Mainly, the 3/4" vinyl ill be switching out for pvc 3/4" that will have t's with a ball valve under each light to a onto emitter (8 lines/ 2 for each plant (4plants/light). I also only run soluble salt fertilizers in the automated system. I still hand water in a compost tea in veg and right before flower then its just my soluble nutrients in the lines. The time I used to spend hand watering and staking i now spend making sure everything else in the garden is perfect (cleaning, pruning, basic plant monitoring, and administering a few preventative foliar every week up to wk 3 of flower (lemongrass oil usually). So if you switch them time over from hand watering to doing other tasks for your garden, again assuming the watering system is designed/built properly, then you will be able to further optimize your time and your space to produce the highest yields while maintaining the highest quality.
