COCO COIR Coco coir watering technique

[Ckbrew]

For those who grow in coco coir. Do you hand water your grow, or do you set up an automated watering system? Weighing the pros n cons of which way to go.

I hand water because I haven't set anything else up yet. I would like to set something up because sometimes watering can be a hassle with a lot of plants. But then again, I usually check everything while I water, do training, defoliation, etc. So that's my input, hope it helps.

I concur. I do perpetual growing so some plants drink a lot others just a bit. Moving a lot of plants around very day. I would love to automatize but it’s not so simple

I third that..hand water for the same reasons dphipps1020 and @9fingerleaves do. Also, I usually throw 1-2 sativas in each of my grows and they can get a little finicky when it comes to too much nitrogen. So i have to mix their nutes separately.
