Thanks for sharing @McShnutz
That irrigation setup is 100

Thanks man, organic is the only thing I do now. Mother Nature nailed it, I'm just copying her. Water is always on demand as needed. The blumats open/close the irrigation cycle. Does an excellent job at consistently maintaining that sweet spot. A little calibration is needed over the course if a week but very minor adjustments.

I also have a dosing pump tied into the system, but for this grow I'm not using it. I have bypass valves installed. It's mainly used for additives like biostimulants, acids and teas. I can dose 1% - 4% of a concentrated stock solution/ gallon

My tent is in the basement so my floor is not a concern. Part of the reason I’m considering it.
The structure that @meangreengrowinmachine under is the way to go for the beds undercarriage drippins

Pond liner and some old decking I had laying around... the pain was getting it down my basement stairs I ended up having to take it apart on one side (so I basically had to 90 degree angle pieces) ans then folding it in half to get it to fit. Then I had to re assemble it in the room.

I have been growing in sips and earthboxes for a while now so I have a lot of my own soil mix I have been making and re amending for years. I also added some co Loco and watered with rootwise products.

Got this all going... what you cats think on time to fill out this grid? Using soil based on peat moss, homemade compost from my hobby farm, worm castings (some of mine, some normal commercial some coloco) organic tomato tone, crab meal, alfalfa, kelp, whole bag of grow Kashi under the straw.

And also some of us need to be able to move plants around. Like when you need to isolate a male for pollen once it shows and is about to start dropping.

It's not a bad way to grow it just doesn't work for everyone.

Excellent point.

I grow in pots and narrow beds indoors.

At first I loved the beds and found 2 plants to work the best for me.
If I had the 4x4 beds I’d do 4 plants.

Now after a number of grows with them I’m thinking of going back to 10g pots for the whole room.
Just being able to spin a pot or slide it out the way is priceless for me.

They are definitely great for growing in and handy for certain styles.

This is my 4 plants in a 4x4 grass roots raised bed.

I have a 4x4 grassroots raised bed just itching to be set up, and this looks awesome, nice grow there. Mine would be set up in the garage during the fall winter months (in the 4x8 but I've kinda outgrown (undergrown?) it and wanting to do a 4x4 instead this year). The 4x2 is my indoor summer grow setup at the moment. Is your 4x4 elevated or sitting on the ground? Nice grow there.
