very nice! While I don't know how beds grow.... don't you essentailly want to water the entire bed evenly? (For not only microbial activity, but also you don't see how roots grow underneath as well?

 

Educate me, i'm always on the fringe to learn! 🙂

As evenly as you can, yes! I was hand watering until the rest of my blumat setup came in, but now that that is setup, the bed is going to receive a fairly even water distribution through the Blusoak drip tape. Check back later for the pics 😎

I really love that giant cannabis bed inside the tent. Freaking awesome. 

Thanks 😊 got another room with 2 beds side by side, halfway thru flower right now. It's pretty lol

Interesting set up! Hope this turns out awesome! Wanted to try something like this.....always decided against it because it seem like it would be the same as growing 2 plants in one pot. But looking forward to seeing this grow! 

I feel like you can never go wrong with a good soil and simple watering approach.  The bigger the pot/bed, the bigger the "battery." If you just want to plug 2 plants into that "battery" then it will need to "charged" (watered) a lot than less than if you plugged 16 in. 

I personally feel with pots, you're operating on a need to water almost daily basis, even with something as big as a 7 gallon. Big beds allow the soil to retain more moisture, allow the roots to share and exchange exudates and nutrients, and mostly allows for the beginning of a microbiological diverse environment if you treat it right. 

I took them before leaving 😎
