Saves me so much time hey, and it's low maintenance as fuck. Eventually I'll set up a top off res and shit with a float valve. Only have to visit once a week to refill everything.

yeah maintenance is the only thing thats holding me back on setting up a drip system - I like set and forget if possible and a table seems pretty simple so not much can go wrong

That's how I did my hydro back in the day
Reservoir hooked up to plants fed from the top with a float even had an airstone in the drum just to keep the green shut from getting a hold in the reservoir..
Refilled reservoir and added nites once every 7-12 days depending on size

Bloke I talk to online that has been growing flood and drain, 20+ years reckons he's tried everything else but always ended up back in F and d. Reckons all he does is clean everything with peroxide at reset. Don't think he ever eve dumps his nutes unless there's a problem

had my eye on those for a bit. I know theyre good quality - my bro has 1m x 2m gorilla and it seems pretty chunky. Pricey though, wondering if I couldnt get away with something a bit cheaper. If I sold my buds it would be a no brainer cos I could write it off after a cycle but its all perso for me and Im a tight cunt

I think I'm going to try a flood and drain setup next run. looks cheap and easy to set up and it's a pain in the arse hand watering. I'll need a new tent for headroom though, cant really afford to set things any higher than they are already in the thing I have at the moment

Flood and drain with coco in fabric pots is how a couple of guys I know who are doing fairly sizable grows are doing and getting really good numbers with minimal output of time and $
