Shottafire's Coco Top Fed Drip DTW Bubbas & Oranges

Alright guys the time has come for me to automate things. I have spent the past couple years working with soil and peat based soilless mixes. Now I am using a coco based soilless mix with #2 smart pots fed with a drip system that i created as an 8 site unit.
I am using canna coco a and b with a couple other additives. mainly calimagic, dyna gro protekt, and heavy 16 heavy roots. In flower I will use hydroplex and ripe towards the end of the cycle.
My reservoir holds 20 gallons of nutrient mix. and lasts about 6 days or so. The biggest reason for my change is the time it frees up for me to enjoy being a father.
My dripper is setup using a sprinkler risers, some pvc elbows, and 4 four port dripper manifolds. Each pot has two 1/4 drip lones going to them with a t on the end to allow four watering points per pot.
the pump I chose was a 264 gph pump and it allows a slow enough feed to fully saturate the pot and not over do it either. It works out really nice.
Tomorrow will be day 14 on this first tray I have setup and it is gonna be bursting at the seams for sure.
cheers everyone. more details to come.

Hey thanks, I will be mainly a hydro ebb & flo guy. But I want to have a single plant project so I'm getting a little one plant tent and will grow it in Coco. So your journal is very helpful to me as I get to follow it from early on.
