What’s the premier auto watering setup?

[heykevo]

Is there a Cadillac of auto watering for coco? Four plants.

I’m hand watering right now and trying to upgrade for my next round. I see a lot of different suggestions, but money aside, is there a system that comes highly recommended? Looking for something that is extremely reliable, all in one, little to no DIY modifications, large reservoir, won’t clog, set and forget mostly.

Aircube system from Growace works great.

Several of us use FloraFlex system. Zero complaints from me.

I'll have to do a little more research, looks great, just doesn't seem like they have a bundle for a 3x3 tent. Looking at their site it seems like they sell everything separate and it's just a flood table, so shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the info.

Look at their bundles:

Choose something that will fit in your 3x3 and your style of growing.

I started in a 3x3 with four plants. It's a hard footprint to grow in, and four was way too many. Two plants with a little LST was the sweet spot for me.

Thebucketcompany.com has another system worth checking out.

I just plumbed my own with PVC pipe and rainbird/orbit irrigation adapters with risers and manifolds, and a sump pump . So cheap so easy.

@curious2garden uses their drainage system.

I have a mixture of diy orbit and general sprinkler riser parts from home improvement store and floraflex. In fact everything you could need to setup a floraflex setup is there too in pvc department.

Im not handy but was able to do it with the help of members here. It was so simple I went ahead and made a couple more setups by my self.

The floraflex flows better with the typical psi pumps one would use. The orbit for some reason half the time using a stronger pump fixed any issues.

My orbit setup that would expect issues doesnt have issues but the ones youd think would work, dont. Stronger pump fixed it.

Floraflex I can use 100gph per plant with any pump rated for said use. Couple of these runoff systems can be better, it was my first time.

I use flexitank reservoirs one feeds all and one collects runoff. Little giant condensate pumps. Vivosun pumps. Pool shock keeps water sterile.

Idk how youd clean ut out if it needed too the floraflex. The orbits no question, plumbers tape and unscrew. I thought floraflex had threads but mine came without them. I pvc cemented them but the head pops off.

Was gonna say I like how you can fine tune the orbit flows but just load the pots less and let it puddle. Dial it in so it doesnt overflow. The riser has a ball valve. I flower with the orbits so idk. but imagine wouldnt be too bad.
