JerryCC, are you still using the blumats? This working out of town shit has my garden in poor shape right now as far as hydration goes - at least for this time of year (summer). I soak on Friday night when I get home and then on Sunday morning before I head out again, but to go from Sunday to Friday night isn't a very good thing. I was able to have my daughter water midweek this week for me but would rather come up with an alternative.
Sean, how big is that basket? It doesn't look real big - I like a good sized pot. I run nursery pots that I think are around 12 gallons... It just gets so hot and dry in the flower room, what with 2,000 watts, the exhaust and fans going - if you were looking to dry something up that would be a good place to do it...
I'm about ready to give up the garden until this project is done because of this issue, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm tired of coming home to unhappy and drooping plants...

What size containers are you running? Are they SmartPots or another of the auto-pruning containers vs. conventional nursery pots?
It's the size that really matters - the questions about the pot have to do with configuring the system.
