is there a pump you recommend? do they have controls on them to measure volume etc.....?

 

[BobThe420Builder]

No you'll need a timer to turn on the pump...run for X time, shut off

Probably total cost about $100

What are those green trays

What are those green trays

Those are Floraflex brand. Made for rockwool cubes.
Helped to even the feed. I tend to slow flood vs drip.

 

[BobThe420Builder]

Those look sweet

 

[TintEastwood]

Those look sweet

First time using them.

Pegs on the bottom helped me keep them level. Shove into coco until level.

Interesting

I have an auto system I use when I go camping, so this may make them all water the same

depending on your plant count, It might not be enough water since youre in coco, but i almost bought one of these for my vacation this year but the trip was cancelled due to covid ->https://www.amazon.com/Claber-8053-4-Programs-Automatic-Watering/dp/B000U5YFR4/ref=sr_1_28?dchild=1&keywords=plant+watering+system&qid=1596130630&sr=8-28

Do you have any issues or had any concerning siphoning? I’ve got a sump pump on a timer and same res as you have but had a small flood due to siphoning.. I’m using 1/4 line with sprayers. I’ve seen a video where you pop a hole at the top of feeding line but that just doesn’t make sense with water spraying everywhere. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Yes I have had that issue before. Solved it by getting the Floraflex which has a rubber gasket in it that acts as a check valve.

Placing a U shape in your feed line between the rez and the pot can help too.
