Just wanted to make you aware of a small 12-volt pump I’ve had for about 10 years that was designed for pumping water from small diameter wells. I now use it for pumping water with or without nutrients (or terp teas) from my 5-gallon container to my 6 plants. Pumps roughly 2 gallons/minute and makes watering and feeding soooo easy. One really neat thing was using it at a guerilla grow I ran in the same spot for 3 years. The grow was in heavy brush in a rural area but was only 50 ft from a lightly travelled road and small pull-off parking area. In mid spring when local plants started to leaf out I prepped the grow site with dug hole and bagged organic soil mix. Then I ran a 50-ft dark green garden hose from plant site to within 5 ft of parking area and covered hose with dirt, downed branches and local woods debris. A couple weeks later I planted my starter girl. To water and feed, all I had to do was park, open rear door to access the 5-gallon jug on my car floor and pump away for no more than 2-3 minutes. I was able to water every 1-2 weeks during 3 summers and never had a plant fail or get caught. Visited my plants 3-4 times between planting and harvest so I made no tracks or trails. Best part is you’re not limited to 50 ft….you could pump through a hose hundreds of feet from your pump area because the pump pushes water in the hose…it’s not limited to suction head (usually about 15 ft for small pump). So consider adding a small pump to your grow equipment. You’ll be glad you did.
