Me too. But maybe this would help my anxiety for a couple extra days.
In theory you could put the container above the plants, high enough to provide some water pressure. Then the hose connection would go in the bottom of the container and feed the timer valve. Maybe hang a rain barrel from the ceiling?
I once designed a Christmas tree self waterer just as you described
Yes maybe even a couple of five gallon buckets on a table beside my grow tent would work as long as it was higher than the water outlet right?
That is the system I have....it wouldn't deliver enough water.
Humm well then there is that.
My plants(not just weed) are kind of like pets. I still feel a little sad when I harvest after caring for the plants for so long. But not that sad…
It might work. Those systems are designed around city water pressure ranges around 50PSI or so.
Did the water distribute equally through that manifold?
Each port has a valve, so it can be tuned for each plant.
With this pump, the water tank would not have to be elevated correct?
I had been thinking some kind of gravity feed system, as mentioned earlier in this thread, but these seem to be worth looking into.
Do you worry if a system has leaks? I almost ran an Autopot system which is gravity fed, but I was reading about small drips while the system gets dialed in. That wouldn’t work in my space. If I was in an unfinished space, I’d have run with it.
Correct. However, if you have different height pots, you will need different valve settings for each, because the pressure and the flow slows with height. That's why I used the manifold instead of just a bunch of splitters.
