Whats the best way to automate watering for a soil grow in 7g smarties on ebb tables?Best Ideas so far: A - Mimic an Autopot by placing clay pellets under and flood just to the pellet line. and B - BluMat Sensors trigging drip powered by a pump instead of gravity ( res is too big to elevate safely )

Would this idea work?My healthiest, 2nd fastest growing plant experiment: in peat/perlite/castings 10oz tea bag on ebb/flow. ( has aphids ). was a rooted clone 5 DAYS AGO.
Plan: transplant into rinsed, phed hydroton in net pot and LEAVE in ebb/flow, flooding every 3 hrs. Would it work?

Whats wrong with this plant?Was water logged, transplanted into 95% dry soil to correct, soil with nutes in it.
I see:
Heat stress. LED light 2.2 ' away, raised the light. ( curling up )
Late stage P deficiency... green veins.
Can't flush, was just waterlogged, what to do? Water a bit with RO?

What is wrong with this plant?Context:
Was on an ebb & flow in a 3 gallon smart pot in soil every 3 hrs with oxygenated water. Overwatering symptoms identified by a friend, so shut off all water for the last 3 days.
Temps: 75, RH 65, soil: rogue peat based light quick draining mix.

Would you try continuous drip in soil with hyper oxygenated water?Has anyone tried continuous drip with hyper oxygenated water in quality soil on recirculation? Would you ever try that? Would the oxygenated water compensate for the problem of overwatering as in DWC, but in soil? Why would you or would you not try this?Week 5

Worth Adding / Building a 2 layer insulated, lit greenhouse at this stage?If my plants are surviving low light and nightly freezes with a simple hoop cover, is it worth putting lights over them and building a 2 layer greenhouse for insulation?
Looks like they have a week left, maybe 2, but I do have the materials on hand. worth it?

Leaf Tips Burnt: Flush or consider it a sweet spot and keep going?When leaf tips burn just a bit, is that a "sweet spot" meaning I am pushing the plants to the max, or is that already worth treating as full on lock out and needing a formal flush and straight ph'ed water till it resolves?
