    Default Auto drip and drain system for coco

    Hello all,

    I'm looking for a system what can auto feed and drain.

    I have attached an image of my room and sizes, and how I would want the system to be. Just wondering if there is any systems out that what would suit me?

    Been looking at the RhizoSystem XL - not sure there are any others what are better?

    Any suggestions welcome , thanks guys

    So I've found 2 systems it's between the 2, the Medusa system or the RhizoSystem

    Not sure if one has benefits over the other?

    You have enough room to build a drain table? I only mention that because you said your, room, rather than tent. I have an 8-ft long drain table one end is slightly lower than the other and it has vinyl roofing on the top it runs down into a gutter the gutter then runs underneath into a Mason's tub that holds 15 gallons of water, in the Mason's tub I have a sump pump that comes on automatically when the water level gets to a certain point it pumps it out through the wall into a drain tile. I like the fact that I can have any number of plants on that table that I want, I'm not stuck with a certain number of holes. To water I just use I think it's a thousand liter per minute water pump that pumps out through 1/2-in hoses into individual halo rings, it works real well.

    Here's some pictures of mine, hopefully fairly self-explanatory. It's about 18 in tall on the tall end in about 16 in on the short end, about 8 ft long and 3 ft wide on roller wheels so I can move it out to clean as if that would ever happen.

    I haven't actually grown in this room in 2 years since I've been just growing outside, but I think I'm going to go back inside in the spring and I'll have to clean things up.

    Ahh I see now mate.. hmm not sure how it would work because I utilise the full width of the room so I would have to stand on the table to get the pots to the back of the room.

    I know what people mean, the ready systems are quite expensive for what they are.. I'm probably looking £500 for a ready to go system what auto feeds and removes run off.
