Plus $16 for the 18g tub picked up from ace.
So total is $99.28. Saves me watering time every day and nute mixing time plus a whole lot of bending down. And now they can get watered/fed multiple times a day which is supposed to be good, but I've never tried. Just takes 30 secs every couple days to shopvac out the tray

Live and learn edit... Having a hard time finding a timer that's reliable and can be set by the second. Not a lot of selection. Been through 2 of them now and neither is acceptable. So going with a timer by the minute and much slower drippers. 1gph drippers now. So 2 drippers per pot for 4mins, 8 times per day per MOG advise. These drippers drip instead of spray out wide like the last so I'm a little concerned about dry pockets so I'm gonna add some yucca to my weekly recharge top feeds to hopefully keep all the coco wet

I still had about a quart of SM-90 left from when they discontinued it, so I'm using what I got left as a wetting agent. Did you ever find a reliable timer? :pass:
 
I would even be ok with having to do one top feed hand watering once a day. Then let the drippers do their thing.

I top feed once a week and let the drippers do their thing the rest of the time
