Do you like smart pots or plastic pots better?

Ya i read that post. I water every day a metered amount when my soiless settles in. Usually its about a half gallon in five gallon smarties, and a gallon in sevens. I find the plants grow the most when i water once a day vs. once every two or three. Ive read of guys watering six times a day mechanically getting even better yields. I was under the impression that watering more often was a good thing. I could nail my girls and go two days between waterings if i wanted to, i just thought it was better for growth to have a faster wet dry cycle, no?
Yup, and I "see" the key here for "smart pots" = soilless!

lol me neither. Freakin Wal-Mart. Stay outta my weeds!
If anyone chooses to go with one of those ten buck digital timers from Walmart :) or Lowes go with the 24 hour setting, not AM PM. These timers are only rated for 630 watts so to run a 600 aquarium pump ($30) you'll need a $5, 40amp, 12vdc Canadian Tire accessory relay and a 12vdc adapter to plug into the timer to operate the relay that drives the pump. :)

That's a lot of money :)
