buffalo-tools-dollies-hdfdolly-64_1000.jpg I truly believe it is a must that you are physically capable of reaching all of your plants. How do you expect to fix any issues on any of your plants that are in the back or unreachable if you need to top them super crop or study them closer to determine what the problem is with that plant. You also need to be able to examine the soil to determine if it even needs water Or if you are not giving it enough, We can all wait for the plant to tell us what it needs but I want to fix the problem before it starts.You can get an auto feed system but nothing is better then the naked eye to study your soil to determine what it needs.
I saw a guy who made a post some time ago who kept his plants on a furniture Dolly so he can roll them around his room as needed. But you won't be able to use a trellis net Or have them tied off to a stationary object.
I can't think of many pros of being in a situation where you cannot reach any of your plants in your grow Room.

Invitation for a room full of hermies and pollinated buds before you see them. Lots isn’t always better. End up with a shitload of seeded buds and you’ll wish you hadn’t.

You will appreciate any automation.....once you do it.

I add a rigid extension. Very handy for all kinds of things.

Bucket/rez. Submersible Pump. Distribution Manifold. Valves. Timer. Tubing. Power. Use open or basket emitters. Not drip.

Its a balancing act of pump, valves and emitters. Adjusting and playing until dialed-in.

Automation feeding systems are amazing given you can still visually inspect your plants and soil on a daily basis to make sure they are not over or under watering. And different phases of a plant's life need more or less uptake in food/water so it will still need to be adjusted throughout the grow cycle and being able to keep an eye on that is a must.
