So watering is starting to become a nightmare for my room (see link in sig) and I'm trying to figure out how I can make this all easier.
As of right now this is what I have:
Two gallon bucket on a pully with a 5/8 inch tube coming out the bottom. Put a gallon in at a time and just move the tube from plant to plant.
BUT, the girls are getting big and its really a pain in the ass.
My question
I am hoping I could change the 2 gallon bucket for a 5 gallon bucket, have that main line go down the center of the plants, then have smaller lines going directly into each pot. Got 14 girls to feed. I don't want to do drip, just used that name because it seems to apply. I'd just have an open end at the end and water would flow slow (thinking 1/4 inch tubing?) but steady.
I've looked all over and haven't really found/figured out what size I should use from the bucket as the "main line" and then what I should use for the smaller ones to go from main line to the individual pots. Is it even possible to do this if I have the 5 gal full and up at the ceiling level? Will gravity make it ok?
Thanks for any help
