I've been away from the growing scene for a couple years now but I'm getting back into it again and about to set up a new 7k grow. I will be flowering in 3gal airports in straight coco and I'm looking for a little advice as far as watering goes. I have had previous success using PVC drip manifolds (Pico style) and planned to go that route but I recently read the entire 173 page Blumat threat and other grow threads of people who used them. Some people swear by the blumats and some start out using them and switch back to drip halfway through the grow. What's the general consensus here in the Coco forum about blumats? I will have limited time at the new grow site so ease of maintence and automation are important to me. I understand that there is a period of time needed to dial in the blumats but there is also dial in time necessary with drippers. I'm not leaning one way or the other just yet but I'm hoping ill get the okay to use the blumats because I like the idea of minimal runoff and the fact that I can use them on my mothers as well.
So what do you think coco growers? I'd love to hear some opinions from people who have tried both!
Thanks for the help!!
