@@DoughHead, I've had the best results with coco/perlite plus "high frequency fertigation" (https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/). However, it's a pain in the ass to hand water multiple times a day. The pot bases + blumats were my attempt to reduce how much work I had to do (that along with the Grow Dots, which have been fine so far). This is my first grow with them. I thought that in combination they would keep a whole 5-gal moist. So far, it has been a combination of being a little too wet or a little too dry. I haven't been able to get them to work together as well as I'd hoped. The problem is that as the plant grows, it changes and its water needs change. I think Grow Dots + hand watering is the way I'll go next time. If I have to go out of town, I would feel confident using the pot bases or the Blumats. They're good to have around. If I was designing from the ground up and had the room to do it, I'd try an automatic watering system like this: https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/guide-to-automatic-watering-systems-for-indoor-cannabis/
