Dude you can make a drip system super cheap. I copied Lil Dabs setup for my first grow. Worked great. Coco coir with a small reservoir, pump, hydro halo, and a decent timer with control down to the second. Took a little bit of fiddling with the "on" time for the pump to see how much it moved. Ended up setting it to 35 seconds twice a day. Just had to check runoff and keep the res full. I did make a couple bit batches and it lasted about a week. Basically cruise control!
I got these trays I saw Dab using: Ran a hose to the floor drain for all the runoff. Someone pointed out the good idea to catch it all the first few days to check runoff amounts and make sure I was pushing enough through.
The Bucket Company's NEW Ez-Pz Runoff Drain Trays allow growers to raise their plastic pots and fabric pots off the ground. Connect multiple trays to one drain site to prevent water spills and long hours using a Shop/Wet Vac.
