No worries brother! I suggested it because it'll give you a number telling you how saturated the pot is. Using that number, and keeping track of it over time and also how much you're watering will help you to dial in the auto watering system you wanna set up.
I like the digital reads it offer. Hmm... I think it might be on my next list for things to try. I checked out the thread.

Me too, I like that I still hand water with it.

I want to setup an auto watering system but I like hand watering lol
I went darn near crazy hand watering. Being use to active hydroponics it was not fun for me at all. Lol... Do you grow in a tent? I could not fit my watering can in the tent after a certain time.

I like hand watering, but that doesn't mean I'm good at it.

Hand watering makes me go in there and check each plant out individually, assess for issues and correct them.

It also makes me more aware of how much each plant is drinking as it grows, which is what I really like about it... I'm trying to get in tune with these plants.

Previously, I've only grown in hydro and outside planted in the ground, so hand watering pots is new to me...

The growth difference between hydro and soil was substantial for me, but I feel good about living organic soil and my water only regimen.

Maybe one day I'll do hydro again, I'd like to do Hempy buckets with a modified Lucas formula.

The Killing Fields are starting to stretch like crazy which is not a surprise. The buds are forming fast on the Raw Diesel strains as usual. I am also seeing better results from the simple Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro than with the use of H & G. Do you all thing I should mix the Foliage Pro with some Bloom fert or run the foliage pro from start to finish? I am using liquid kool-bloom with the Dyna-Gro.

Ur asking questions I'm asking think bigger 3x3 won't really hold 8 3gal, I personally was calculating on 9, and they don't really make 4x6. 3x6 might work and X3 2x4 trays is epensive.

In 5he end it was cheaper for me to lay vinyl flooring and build a wooden frame.

That is true. I am really trying to get these strains dialed in. The buds are huge and frosty. Much better than the first side I flowered. I will let these go a bit longer also.

I've had better luck with dynagrow grow, than bloom in flower. Currently using tiger bloom, and it's been good to me.

Love kool bloom shit works wonder, fox farms chaching, and open seasame are really good too.

Garden looks really good man need to get mine dialed in now that I got the pump and lines in my setup currently pump it too strong so I'm forced to basically just water normally till I get a ball valve

That is a really cool setup! That looks super efficient use lighting and space
It really is a good use of space. I enjoy it because I can use various strains and wont have to worry about height issues.
