COCO - Automatic watering system - Question

[Ttutorial]

Hey
Iam a soil Grower - and i didnt bothered with trying coco out - measureing PH and EC.. Why should i do that, i asked my self?

But i did it - Canna Coco and Canna Coco A+B.
And i was more then impressed.

My EC Device broke early flowering stage - so i thought i was fucked!
But i just observed the plant - and she told me if she needs more or less.. That was awesome and worked out very well.
I pushed her once, saw the little tips burning a tiny bit and i reduced the fertilizer.. It was a beatiful grow for me.
It made my happy, to be honest.

So the only negativ, was the watering..
I watered once a day. The next grow will be twice a day, in flower, when the roots are fully developt in the pot.
Like 6-8 Hours after the first one, and the first one is when the Light is going on. Thats an good idea?

But the question, why i did opened this thread is a different question.
Like i mentioned before, the water schedule and the everyday nutrients mixxing got on my nerfes a little bit.

Is there any DIY method or a cheap system that i can buy?
It would be for my 4x4

I do have Autopots - but iam scared because the salts will burn the plants? Autopot = Watering from the bottom
Maybe it will work with Hesi?

I show u the Plant


It is a runt CBD Girl Scout Cookies she was so slow, but man.. worth it!
I did harvested yesterday, the plant was in 5L (1,3 Gallon)

LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINION. First time Coco.. But i have years of experience in Soil.
I know the plant is nothing special like look what i did, but i had so much fun man..
And the directly respons is something i really like! In soil u have to wait few days..

The plant really didnt go yellow.. i gave 15 days just water (20% Drain everytime), i even pushed like 20 liters (5 Gallons) twice in there, to get it faster yellow.. but nah ^^
But i didnt overfertilized in my opinion?

Hey bud, nice job!
A pump, manifold, some tubing and T pieces make a adequate feeding set up with a timer (second interval timer) for cheap.

I've used autopots/bottom feeding with various nutrients ime the all work fine in Autopots or dtw it makes no odds it's just nutrient.

A tip for proper ec...test the run off if it's more than 0.2/3ec higher than the input lower the input, if its lower than input raise the ec.

Blumats and 100% coco. No perlite.

Thanks for that tip buddy!

Sadly, there is no runoff in Autopot..
But i will do once more handwatering and i get some stuff for free, from a guy that i gave seeds here and there and i wanted nothing for them, so he felt like he can give me something back..

He said complete set.. so i will do anyway a growreport here and jeah.. hopefully it will be fire.

@xtsho I do breed myself a little bit here and there, so these blumat seems so good for that.
Like 120 bucks for 2x12 Plants? So i believe i could run 24x 1,3 gallon with them? That would be great.

But i do see that the lower part of your coco is completly dry? Maybe u do need 2 of these blumats for ur pot volume?

If your looking into a nice auto watering system I can give you a BOM (bill of materials) and sell you the timer to run the system out the door your looking at about 200 bucks. It is a bit more expensive but it is pressure compensated, and you tell it how many mL of water you want at every event, and how much time between events. Be careful going the cheap route with hydro halos, and ball valves will drive you crazy.
