Started with larger 4x4' plants in 10 and 15 gallon fabric pots with just coco fed by Blumat drippers (no timed pump): The Blumats work if adjusted regularly and pots hand watered a fair bit after transplants and then a soaking every couple weeks thereafter.
I was leaning toward a pump and the flora-flex caps or matrix drippers on 5 gallon fabric pots with just coco for the future. I wanted smaller pots and better drip distribution than I am getting with the Blumats. Going from the Blumats auto sensing to a timer and wifi moisture sensor should not be too much trouble. I read the floraflex distributors create an environment that breeds thrips however.
I also got on a thread elsewhere and read about the Grodan 6" cubes and how easy it is to hook a dripper to those, also saw auto pots, Grodan slabs, and the 8" cube Floraflex pots you put coco into, 6" cubes set on top of a coco pot... And now I'm confused about what to do and am wondering what else is out there that I've missed might be best in a auto drip/irrigation setup - for single plants with about a 4x4' canopy or a bit smaller?
Edit: Have drain to waste/outdoor-gardening.
