The wicking has always intrigued me not practical for me, Jets octo pots either.
Great ideas thou.
I used to run drip systems for when I’d go on vacation but now in no need for automation.
I can leave up to 5-6 days max and not have to worry.
Just something I prefer, more hands on, not begrudgin no one here.
Don’t you guys got water standing where your grow is?

I use the Octopots as well
And I also run moms in small pots so this type is system and the pots he’s using is what I need for the small mom room less work
The Octopots in veg can stay unattended for a good week and no problem
I do need to keep 25 gallons around at all times but 5 gallon bucket in the garage no big
I am going to get a 30 gallon tote as a rez soon

The wicking seemed to do well for me on a 16 oz cup plant I did earlier in those sized, I used mason cord pot wick size In those cups , wick is determined by pot size I’m upping up pot sized to about a quart in volume I’m still beta testing stuff and experimenting more than anything pegboard is just scrap I had lying around May not be the best option I’d prefer metal wire racks or something similar in

I like nylon won’t break down like cotton and is still very good at capillary action.

Taking these from Ed Rosenthal book on wick sizes I layed a looped wick at right angles to the adjacent wick brought up two with 2” from the top of the soil.

Instead of the peg board I was thinking more of a dark color plastic solid ( keep all light out of the roots ) drill holes only were needed and put in a float and a fill hole with a cork
Edit idea two basins one on top upside down and clamp down like an I closed box

Love the idea ! I’m thinking about using some foil to help keep the light off.

Here’s my red neck upgrade too the syten with a bit of straw in the pot top to help with moisture retention at the soil interface and to help germ the cover crop.

It don’t matter none they’re still gonna fill the pot with roots
