Auto pots or not?

Using a 750 x 750 tent with a spider farmer sf2000, currently hand watering in coco, I’m thinking auto pots next, what size and how many in this space, or are there better ways on feeding?

You could just get a reservoir, pump, and drip kit and use these with the current planters you have. I use the 3 gal bucket and drip kit from The Bucket Company, they have the manifold option as well which I may upgrade to. The planters/buckets are good quality. If you use any drip style irrigation, make sure to use water soluble nutes in your reservoir. I'm currently using 6 buckets in a 8'x4' but I could comfortably hold 12 buckets, 18 buckets would stuff it full. Is 750x750 in mm? So roughly 30"x30"? If so 4 of the 3 gallons bucket company planters would fit. If you ever want to go to a 4'x4', 6 of the 3 gallon buckets would fit.

Lots of options, RDWC, auto pots, ebb n flow style tray. some shit homemade will be cheaper just need to craft it. some stuff bought will be easier to use. I think I would lean toward RDWC or Autopots. or just a drip system with a collection pool that drain into the floor.
