New Grower Automatic watering system

[Hugo]

Hi,

I'm going on vacation in early August for about 15 days and I'm expecting to water my plants on a regular day basis.

I've been looking for some water timers from Gardena, that seem really good, though a bit pricy. I've seen this one on amazon from Draper, at a good price and some positive feedback:

I'd like to know what do you guys do when you have to be away from home and there's no one to go to your house water your plants.

Thanks for the attention and cheers,
H.

I think I'm going to get this system. It's all included and has 1 year warranty.

:smokebuds:Ive never been gone that long,but that unit looks pretty good but you will have to test it and get it set up amd make sure it's putting out the correct amount of water.Only thing you won't be able to use your nutes for a while.

Blumats are the bomb.

Blumats seem like a perfect cost efficient alternative. I'm reading to find out how they work.
