Are those valves sticking out of the pour spouts gonna make sense to me when you start bottom feeding them?

@OlyBoy I hook up 1/2 tubing to fill up the reservoir from my 5 gallon bucket to water them with a aquarium pump. I have a spinal cord injury so I have a hard time standing and lifting heavy items. If you go to The Grobucket Test group thread I showed what I did step by step.

@OlyBoy a picture of the rest of my high tech watering system!
The lines inside the bucket are 1/2 gallon marks.

That’s right I knew I had seen that somewhere but I couldn’t find it.

I’m going to top them today and next feeding I’m going to start the nutrients in the reservoir.

Is it automated watering all plants at once or do you use that to hand water with?

I water each bucket individually with the tubing attached on each grobucket, that way I can control how much each plant needs and gets. I used to have it setup with a manifold and watered the whole tent at one time, however some plants got to much and some didn’t get enough. I just attached 1/2 inch tubing to my modification to the grobucket, then just swap out the tubing to the water pump. I use a 400 GPH aquarium pump it only takes a few seconds to water each individual grobucket. I’m working on putting a float valve in each grobucket to use a reservoir for future use.

Oh I get it. Grow buckets. So they’re self watering you just have to fill them up every once in a while kind of like filling up a nutrient tank.
