Ah yea, you must be right, I don't see any drippers.

I find that even more shocking, honestly.

I'd bet for less than the cost of one run's worth of extra media and labor they're spending to deal with the 7's & hand watering they could easily setup a quick-and-dirty dripper setup.

Most definitely could be paid for in a run or two worth of that much media. Some people just are reluctant to change what works for them. I think op has a decent looking setup otherwise and saw some pics of some pretty nice looking finishing plants. They're just a few moves away from being up to speed with modern techniques. I'll bet once they pull the plug and upgrade, they'll look back wondering how they ever did it Ike this. It's the evolution of countless growers including myself. Anyone who's been doing it for a while can probably look back and say "wtf was I thinking?" Lol

Actually I've done all modern techniques. Had the whole grow link automated set up. Done crop steering for years. It works but very strain dependent. Bigger pots work better for us. If you check my post history you'll see the previous existing dripper set up.
