Default Diy autowatering/feeding system!!

I came home on monday after being away since the friday to find my plants looking completely and uterly hanging for a drink.. never seen anything like it and seriouse yellowing of too many leafs.. before i went they was fine and cant believe they got in such a mess so quick as they had a small amount of water saturday morning from my sister altho wasnt anywhere enuff... Anyways i have to spend few days away quite often as my girlfriend lives 50miles away and im just coming off a ban so i stay there few days at a time and so came up with a very simple and cheap method for autowater/feeding my plants...

I have 20l bucket as res(enuff to water my 2 big plants a couple of times) a small 2w 200L/h aquarium water pump from ebay that cost me £2.50(not auction), tube line for it £3, twin gang thing £1.50 and assorted airline connectors £1.39 and timer £5

The water pump has output adjuster and so does the small twin gang thing so i set it all up so it takes about half hour to fully water the pots(nice n slow)

u can see from pics how easy it was to think up but thought id share it with ya cos this will be a life saver for me

looks good. you have it on a timer? that way you dont even have to plug/unplug it. just set it to run for 30 mins or 1 hour every day and youre good

Great idea.

Typical stoner. Imagination, resourcefulness, ambition,...I rest my case.
