I've installed a gravity fed drip system. I attached a plumbing faucet to the bottom of a 10 gallon storage tub. Stacked it on top of those blocks I won't be needing this year, I hope.
Each pot has 2 drippers

go man! Does look great bro. I'm puutin' some homemade soaker hoses in my smart pots this year too. With all that cocoa and humus and perlite, and vermiculite, 1 watering a day is not gonna be enough later in the year. I'll do my tea feedings in the morning, and have the water come on again and soak em' about 3-4 o'clock when it's real hot. I believe, if you can keep the plants core temp down during those hottest hours of the day, growth will continue when it would normally stop. ( my newest theory ). I'm gonna be checking and recording soil temps this year, along with growth rates, and be checking with and without the extra water and so forth and see what happens.

Not really a weed expert yet but being a crop farmer, water in the morning and evening if needed. Mid afternoon watering when the sun is hot causes crop problems. Water has major evaporation in the sun, not to mention water droplets act like a prism and super heat their surroundings by reflection like a magnifying glass. You can really heat your soil up. Your thinking sounds good but in reality cool water heats up in a hurry in the sun. Plants dont mind a lazy afternoon drinking their morning water that was absorbed into the soil.

a lot of this is open for debate. watering in the afternoon can also cause problems if they don't dry out which can invite fungal growth. our hay and hops only get morning water. if water is needed at night it runs all night due to fungal problems and then it is able to dry out all day. you can always do different plants at different times and see what looks better. if you do water at night keep it off the leaves. grasses are okay with it though, they love night watering. out here evaporation and high winds lead to high water bills and less water if the afternoon schedule is used. plus we have a dry desert climate, so humid climates can be tricky for night watering. you can afternoon water just dont run it till the evening, water encourages growth also. but now insects come into the picture so go with your climate. night watering kicks up our mildew, scale, and thrips here. i hit the internet with the question and the answers are all over the place lol.
