Default Cheap D.I.Y Hempy Bucket/Soil Automatic Watering System

I use Hempy Buckets in a SCROG for my girls. According to Hempy you need to hand water your plants 1 time a day until they are established and then every other day after that. While I love tending to my small garden, I'm away from it for more than 2 days at a time and needed to come up with an automatic watering system to keep them happy and healthy. So here is what I came up with.........

A small submersible pump. You don't need one that has a large Gallons Per Hour (GPH) rating. The one I use pumps 145 GPH and is used for a pump in small fountains. It also has a flow adjustment on it and suction feet to hold it in place. I found it on E-bay for $8.00. Works like a champ
