Just water by hand dude - get a pump sprayer and just sit for a few minutes whilst you water is the easiest way. You could look at blumats, they are apparently quite fiddly to setup but it is a set and forget system once you have it dialed in - basically a drip irrigation system driven by ambient moisture levels in the soil.

Is there any system to use or do you just water by hand

Sound promising I was getting good yields but like you said it’s just not hitting the spot on taste and smell,

Soil, soil, soil! For taste and full flavour, organics and soil can't be beaten in my opinion, thats why I am Organoman! As Mr. Stinky said, hydro might be a commercial growers choice, but for connoisseurs and personal use, eveything as natural as possible will give you that special smoke you desire. If you can grow outdoors in sunlight, even better! All my older friends, myself and more experienced tokers (20+ years of inhaling) all search out and much prefer an outdoor, soil grown supply and there seems to be a definite and compelling movement away from hydro by nearly everyone I know. While the yields in soil may be slightly less, the quality more than makes up for it. As with anything, there is a lot to growing good cannabis with soil, it is a learning curve, just like with hydro, but once you get your head around growing with soil, it becomes quite simple. Things will happen more leisurely, especially feeding, but if you want the best - good things take time. If you just want to pump out as much product as possible, as quickly as possible, and don't care too much about what you are smoking, stick with hydro, but if you want velvet chocolate, organics and soil is the only way to go in my opinion. The biggest tip I can give you is to use prime ingredients and not skimp on quality, you can't grow good weed in cheap dirt! Hope this helps, Organoman.

Well, hydro is primarily for explosive growth and highest possible yields (and playing god) but it is harder to grow organically (line blockages, dodgy anaerobics and sludges building up etc.) and synth nuted..well, I dont wanna be giving advanced nutrients any dough (cause their CEO seems like a bit of a dick). Of all the weed I have smoked - hydro is obviously the commercial style of choice but for personal use, organic from the soil....you might get a lower yield but god damn thats some smooth smoke and you know that be the cleanest most naturalest smoke you ever had. It is very satisfying and less stressful too - if you keep it cool and stick to the basics your ppm and pH spikes and line blocks and root rots are a thing of the past. Go for soil organics. The way it is meant to be. Get closer to nature get closer to Jah.
