I’ve done automation and irrigation install/design for over a hundred commercial grows and no one is growing in 7 gallon pots. The only valid reason to hand water is because you are using organic inputs

That's fine. Most people with automation prefer smaller pots. We are fully automated at our 1500 light facility. But this one in the video is my personal where I run a lot of R&D. My yields here have been insane with the current set up. Getting 5.5-6lbs per 4x4 area with a low yielding strain too. If I were to go back to my high yielding strains, I'd probably be hitting 7-8lbs per light.

A lot of what I say goes against the grain but to get to where I'm at I have to pave my own path.

Those are absolutely insane yields. You should post some pics of the plants a few days before harvest I'd be interested to see what they look like. I've heard of ppl getting upwards of 5+ per 4x4 but 6-8 just sounds wild.

I actually will post it. My whole plan was to start a youtube channel showing how to do everything. Next cycle, I will document the whole process from day 1 of flower til harvest day. I'll post it here as well even with all the negative reactions. I really want to share alot of techniques that I've learned and kept to myself for last 20 years. Even got a 20$ spidermite solution that can be bought at any grocery store. 20$ to totally eradicate all spidermites no matter how bad the case may be. And its non toxic too.

Looking forward to it. Do you have your channel up yet?
