Cheap / Diy drip watering system

hi guys, need to hit the road for a week; looking for a cheap or diy watering system .
Money’s tight...



Any advice appreciated

I use a 800+/- gal/hr aquarium pump, 1/2” main line and 1/4” lines off that. “Drip bird” on amazon. I take the 1/4” lines and put holes in them, then stake them down on the pot.
Use a digital timer that goes down to the minute so you can water for 1 min or whatever works for you. Let me know if you need anything clarified, I can get some pictures for you later
