great , do you use water bottles or auto water system?? |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Gold Coast | | | | Water bottles atm, but been looking at getting the components for a system. Have heard that watering systems are great for increasing production. I do whatever maitenance is needed every day and stock lightly anyway so its not a big deal right now. |
