This is were my journey has led me so far,
(I must say, I find joy in building my own rigs)
Setup(for this run)
2 5 gallon bucket system,
3 total buckets,
In the bucket with the plant there is 2 bucket on top of the other this allows head space for a total of 8 gallons of water to be used,
2 submersible pumps in res bucket, 1 with no hose pointed up "flooming"
The other running through a tube then concentrated down through a fitting (waterfall effect)into the plants hole.
For now I put frozen 1 gal containers in res every few hours to keep cool,
Over night flooming pump is on for 30 off for 30 so doesn't get too hot
(Future pumps won't be submersible)
If the system works out I will build a bigger(more gallons) system with chiller and more
Any comments or Qs about anything welcome,
Still learning myself but.....
