I know I know I'm a busy man! I did some pollinating and working on this now. Once I finish I'll have an update.
The pump in the pic isn't the one I used, it had too small a fitting for the 3/4 inch tubing so I went back and got the eco264.
This is the pump I'm using

I just need a timer to let me control how much or how little I water things. I'll play around with times to see how long to feed a gallon every other day to the ladies.
Got a little more running around to do then I'll be back to get it ran to everything. Update coming soon!

Mean green I know! I just built it myself, was cheaper and only cost like 37 bucks fir everything. Only thing is it works a little too well haha, I tried running it for a minute and it fed them two gallons! Damn near flooded my tent lol. I need to slow it down somehow a lot, anyone have ideas? In the meantime its time to research it.
Ok...ok I swear I'll have an update in the am, for real!
Thanks BKB and SG!

how does drip stakes work? you have them sitting a little above the soil and it mist the soil or everything is happening under the surface? I am starting to look at drip system but I want mine to work with gravity, no pump. Just to make it easier for anyone else to care for my plants, I would like to have only one big water container to fil every other day. would those drip stakes work for me or they only work with a pump? Thanks

Looks like a great setup man, will give you freedom to take off a few days, or a few days more!
Someone gave me the idea of running a tee right off the pump before. It looks 3/4", so the tee would be like 3/4" straight through, but the turn (or TEE) will be smaller so it doesnt flow the same amount. This way when it's ran it dumps some right back into the rez, slowing the flow, and oxygenating the water at the same time. Another idea to bounce around in your head!

The stakes just go into the soil and drip however much or little you want. For the price of everything I'd recommend a pump for better control but if gravity is what you wanna do go for it. I did a bunch of research and found that there is hundreds of drippers. If you have any questions man lemme know!
Thanks for the info dude! I got it all sorted out with some adjustable stakes, pretty easy fix thankfully!
So I went to take pictures earlier to update and just my luck I dropped it and SMASH went the lens. Fuck me right! I have a camera at my work so I'll bring it home tomorrow after six and have an update immediately after.
Have a good night everyone!

This is what it looks like, but the one in the picture is putting out a lot of water. My literally drips, so it doesn't pump out too much water.

damn big mac that totally sucks about your camera.
that is kinda the reason i hesitate to upgrade. i drop my camera ALL the time, its really durable and has braved the most extreme conditions with me. Its not the best camera for sure but it does the job.
Your new set up looks awesome. I think you did a terrific black paint job on the bucket. it looks so professionally done. I look forward to you updates everyday. I hope the transplanting went well.
have a nice day at work
