Absolutely beautiful. I am considering autopots, but not being able to flush, or have runoff to check my ppms scares me. I believe I will go with a drip irrigation system. Idk.. it's so hard to chose. I do know that picking up 3g pots to switch to new runoff trays suck. Especially when I got to pick up each one and switch trays 3 or 4 times. Having 10 plants, it takes me literally 2hrs to water and check runoffs.. every single day. there has to be a better way

@Grow_for_Happiness, I thought I had responded to you. Idk why my response isn't showing. Anyways thanks for the response and tips. I really appreciate it. I believe I may try them at some point, but a drain to waste system will be my preferred method for now. Hey bro, it works tho your KILLING IT those ladies are absolutely beautiful 😍

@DoughHead, holy sh*t dude 2 hours a day? I could see how it takes that long but daaaaaamn you've got determination! I went with the Autopots because I was tired of watering every 2 days for 30 minutes a time 😄 . Also I like the idea of not having to run multiple pumps. While it is true you can't really check the ppm from runoff since there is none, you can flush the plants quite easily. Either have a second reservoir with plain PH water that you just switch to, or empty your reservoir with nutes into bucket(s) and refill with PH water. I had to flush half way through this run when I hit the girls with a high EC a bit too early, and the two reservoir method worked great. If flushing make sure to pull out the pots and let them drain a bit, and also empty the trays before turning on the ph water tap.
