    " It takes only about 10 -20 seconds to water with this device , significantly longer with a can "
    20 seconds to water one plant? I reckon I could water between 5 and 10  plants , at least, with a watering can in that time

    Can i ask where you  get this figure? Has the manufacturer given you a quotation for  this?

    Sure you can ask, why are you suddenly asking if you can ask a question, whats so significant about this one ? I am only making a rough estimate since the microwave covers are selling for only $1.25, and so I would assume they are probably getting them made for about 40 cents ,again roughly, so please dont ask where I get this figure. Since markup on these dollar stor items is around 100-300% I can get a rough estimate from that fact. 
  • I believe that the majority of folk growing more than one or two cannabis plants are going for the hydroponic method.  Easier and more controllable.

  • It may not be complex, however a watering can is much LESS complex 
    sounds like a contradiction to your only compliment where you repeatedly wished me the best of luck with it, makes that compliment sound a bit forced , like "look Im a nice guy , dont be an asshole "

    business don't run on assumptions an "rough estimates" , they need quotations. 
    Clearly you seem to know all the answers and you'll be a multi-millionaire with this device.
    I repeat. " I wish you all the best" but I think you're wasting your time, effort and money on your "device" purely based on my experiences of watering plants for almost half a century.

  • when you can get a microwave lid for 1.25 and just poke a few extra holes in it?
     you need a drill if you want the holes to be round and even size, plus a saw of some kind

    BS, plants in 5-10 gallon pots ??? Again you dont listen,I am not talking about your little houseplants.  Anyhone who uses the phrase I reckon is just too old school conservative for me, this will be THE new way to water SOME plants not yours ,I dont want to hear one more thing about your little plants,its not for you I get it, please move on ! If you are watrering 10 plants in 20 seconds thats only 2 seconds per plant, they must be thirsty as hell, so maybe you should spend more time watering them than criticizing my idea anyhow

    I love your open , warm , unbiased, impartial view of your potential customer base.
    Am I the only person who is beginning to find this a total joke?

    oh so you are someone interested in investing in my product now. Who are these businesses that need to know these things at this point ? Wht are you assuming I cant  afford to have these things made anyhow. Perhaps my relative has twice as much or 10 times as much as I quoted ,so why are you dwelling on this,or esle someone else would be glad to invest ? This thread was simply suppoed to be about whether people will use the device or not !

    You obviously haven’t done any research on this forum
    .... @Hostafan1 is a respected professional gardener with huge poly tunnels full of hundreds, possibly thousands of plants. 

    It does seem that considering, let alone  accepting advice isn’t your forté ... or maybe you’ve not read/understood my attempt to help you with quoting other posts 😢
