Hi all!

I've been travelling for a while and I'm now back and can't wait to continue planning my first grow. :)

I am planning on buying a set of 3 clay auto-watering probes. Here's a link:

Heres the deal...
My original plan was to use Red party cups and perlite in a mini hempy bucket type thing. I am now considering auto watering as I may be doing a little more travelling than I thought! I know that mary jane likes her air between watering but I'm thinking that with a 100% perlite medium would promote enough drainage to prevent root rot? :idea:
On the other hand do you think the perlite will even be compact and air tight enough to even promote water flowing from the res to the medium?

I guess theres only one way to find out... but im throwing a wild card out there in wondering if anyone else has experimented with soil-less grows and osmosis based watering systems...? :confused: I did try searching with no luck :(

What dya think guys? :bong:

Peace and thanks in advance! :toke:
