I created a bootleg drip system for this setup as most articles about growing with coco say that the medium works great with high frequency fertigation. This used the setup mentioned in, https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/diy-automatic-watering-system/ I then changed some items here and there to finish my setup. I didn't want to spend too much on this experiment.
The final setup for drip:
- ePackageSupply 7 Gallon Bucket for main reservoir
- DIAFIELD Automatic Watering System for Potted Plants, main controller which has a setup interface and pump to run irrigation
- AquaMiracle Aquarium Air Pump for adding oxygen to reservoir
- Simple Deluxe 80 GPH 3.6W Submersible Pump for fountain style aeration
- Bloom Brothers GGWR09 9-Inch Hydro Halo Water Ring as the water distribution method
- JoyTube Plastic Hose Barb Reducer Pipe fittings, 1/2" to 1/4" for changing the irrigation system's tubing to match the Hydro Halo
- Drip Irrigation Switch Valve Gate Valves for 1/2 Inch for ball valves
- Pond Boss Vinyl Tubing, 1/2"
