I'm planning a grow outside with 20 5gallon buckets hanging in the trees with each having its own 11gallon reservoir bolted higher up the tree with a water line hooking into a blumat for each plant. My question is if i have a full 11 gallon reservoir hooked up to a blumat in a 5 gallon bucket with a 5 foot plant and its 90 degrees outside with no rain, how long is that 11 gallons going to last. I got a water only soilless mixture ready to go that will provide the nutrients throughout the entire grow. I just need to know if I need a bigger reservoir (I will have a hole in the lid to collect rain water) b/c i want to keep trips back to a minimum. (we do get a good amount of rain where i live). Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated! Heres some info on blumats in case your wondering what the hell i'm talkin bout.
