Agreed. I’ve ran with blumats as well. Steady state of happiness. That’s what these plants look like.
I don’t want to call this setup a success until harvest. There’s a few lessons learned on this first attempt. But overall, way easier than any system I’ve tried before. I’m looking for any additional steps I can eliminate or automate for the next run. 
It’s a very cool grow, what printer did you use?
Bambu Lab P1P.
I need a garden robot that refills these bottles and top dresses for me. Then all I do is drop a seed into dirt and harvest.
I wonder if you could have the bottles refill from a main resivior using a float valve or something?
Those are nice printers. I’m debating one of those or the new ender 3 v3 KE, it’s ~twice as fast as my current ender 3 v3 se
Probably. But that would occupy more space. I had a similar setup with blumats and a bucket as a reservoir.
The Ender-3 v3 KE looks dope.
Nice. I use a 32 gal food safe garbage can and 3 pumps. 1 to keep the water moving and one to power the lines.
I meant like a centralized water distribution, so there’s no changing bottles.
I wonder if instead of a bottle you could screw a hose into the fixture and then have the hose fed from a central resivior like a bucket or something
Hmm. I’ll dig into this. I had a similar idea but different approach.
Yup. I’m sure it’s possible. I’ll see what works.
Quick research and found the parts. Would be a similar setup to what I had with blumats. I think cons outweigh pros for me.
With bottles, I can control how frequently I refill (using larger bottles). This ensures less stale water and need for additional equipment. This also uses less space.
With reservoir, I need more equipment, more maintenance (cleaning lines or reservoir), more points of failure, and uses more space.
I think determining factor is scale. Small setup and numbers then current solution is fine. Larger numbers would justify reservoir setup.
yeah springtails
