    Auto watering system, PHed plain water or nutrient water?

    I'm gonna get some of the blumat things from the article on the site and I'm wondering if I should set it up with plain water or nutrient water? I grow in coco coir with perlite. I know plain water every other time is recommended and what I do now but I'm going away.....

    How long are you going to be away? Build two systems or grow in DWC with an auto water system.

      Yeah, how long? I'd probably go halfers on the nutes if for very long.

        I'll be away about 4 days....so you suggest nutrient water at half strength from what's recommended even though what's recommended is already diluted?

          For 4 days I'd just want them watered at the correct pH, if you feed before you leave and feed when you get back I wouldn't worry too much. They'd miss one nute watering. Because you do every other I just thought to split the difference. Half of the pkg/bottle recommendations is what many growers do regularly. I haven't had a chance to read that auto watering newsletter article yet.
