Are you trying to do a coco recirculating drip. If so I've been thinking about switching to the same. I know people stray away because of possible salt buildups, but if Vader can pull off a flood and drain with canna nutes and coco why not a drip system.

You could use lots of large chunky perlite with a bit of coco in, then add a simple sump type filter in the drainage line.

Once I got blumats dialed in I never looked back. I grow in coco and these work great. I recommend them.

Interesting. I have heard of them but never looked into it properly.
Do you run your nutrients at a reduced rate? Are they as simple as they look, because they look like a few bits n bobs. Looking at the price tag I wouldn't mind trying them to see what the crack is. Are there any mechanical pieces or is It just gravity fed?

I'm currently only using them in flower and I do run at a reduced rate. They are as simple as they look. It's all gravity fed. I have an 18 gallon tote on a shelf about four feet high next to my grow tent. I just drilled a hole, put the spigot on and ran the line through one of the bottom openings on the tent. I just add nutrient solution as needed to the reservoir. I have a small pond pump on the bottom to keep everything circulating in the reservoir.

HI mate what system are you looking at running?

I currently run a 4 pot wilma system and like your self I have done successful coco grows but I fancied a change i think this system is fantastic growth is a lot better make sure you're checking ph ec and put air stones in the res
