Small automated system

[Lazyeye]

I'm looking for a small automated watering/hydro-system for my Dr90 Twin. Currently doing hempybuckets, and was planning to switch to coco-hempys after this grow. But now I feel like it's a pain to get in there and water the plants on the far side of the tent (havn't gotten to defolation yet).

Are there any small automated systems out there? Was looking at autopot, but I want to fit more than 4 pots in there so they are out of the question I'm afraid.

Are blumats my only option?

Guess it's blumats.

Autopots do take up a bit of room and sometime over water is a problem so access is needed.
Sorry for the late replay was on holiday.

Did you get to use the blumats? And how do you flush using them things.

Only if you are heavy handed will they need a flush with blumats.
Less is more with them.

Not sure if a drip system wiilll work for system, but I use them for soil. I use battery operated timers from Orbit and Hunter. Have had no problems with them at all. Toro makes one too. I use pressure compensating drip emitters, which give metered watering even with elevation changes or pot heights.

Orbit is ready for use with garden hoses.

Hunter and Toyo require gluing together pipe, adapters, and at least one valve. If you decide to go this route, check out this tutorial...it helped me a lot. Seemed a little overwelming to me, but was fairly straight forward once I start building it. Not hard at all.

Happy to help if you have questions with this type of watering system.

Good grown !!
