Regarding the pump...I'd make sure to have an overflow prevention/management strategy, as Murphy's Law dictates you will soak everything at least once.

Auto drip sounds good, but don't the plants directly under the lights need more than those twords the outside?

I personally can't justify the expense for salt leechers or flush solutions. Takes a few days, but pre-harvest flushing works well for me, and I can spend the extra cash on stuff like......bills. :thumbsup:
Thanks for the suggestion but having several phases of plant growth to break up the work would likely create more problems than it solves for me. That may not be true for everyone else.

As the plants on the outside needing more water than the ones on the inside, sure... but I don't think any significant portion of extra water will be needed. If I need some extra water to one or two isolated situations, I can always just throw another dripper in that plant though I don't see that being the case.

I think I've decided to grow the plants on the ground almost for certain on this next cycle. This requires me taking down all the tables I built and figuring out the logicistics of watering 60 plants with a drip system working against gravity to get the water both out of the resi and then returning the waste water TO the resi.
