Question Mod Emily's Garden to Drip?
I was looking into an Emily's Garden for a hydro system, I know it's a passive wick system which isn't that great... Anyone know how I could modify this to become a drip system? The really low profile reservoir means that it would most likely not get too warm, which just killed my last hydro system which was so big and tall that it blocked my vent (bubbleponics). I know I installed the vent too low but it's too late to change that and this is the only other system I can find that will fit in the space I have. Thanks.

im sure with a small pump in the res, hooked up to some 1/4" tubing, with inline drippers, would do the trick...

here's the tubing, and stakes, and drippers. get an end plug for back pressure, and ebay a pump. a 40gph pump would work for 6 drippers, as i think they emit like 1 or 2 gph, depending on which ones you buy.

Dude it seems like your best bet would be a remote res outside of the grow chamber so it doesn't get so hot. Kind of like a recirculating DWC.

I may be able to do that on the back of the grow cab but then it would be inaccsessable, everything has to be as stealth as posable... but I may be able to rig something like that.

Did the Toro work out for you?!?

What kind of pump did u get? Did you use a new reservoir?

please advise.
