yea i have been thinking about something like this cause i work for two weeks a month out of town. either this or a global bucket would prolly be better.

that does not really help me, i dont think but thanks. i have six plants set up here and i need some sort of pump, that video says she is going to basically plant on top of all that stuff and thats not wat i am doing

thats my plant set up right now, so i need to figure out something that will run into all six of those plants, will i need to buy another timer and set up a submersible pump? any suggestions on which pump and which tubes to get?

should i be looking into an aquarium pump?

yea good idea... I just fingered this out on someone elses thread.... hook a cheap water pump to a timer hook that timer to another so it only gets power a couple hours that way it takes like three days to kick on the water pump. without any math im sure you can just hook timer A to your 12/12 timer if you have a flowering room set up.
