Hey all. Wrapping up my first grow now and planning my second to take into account what I learned. My first grow was 2 plants and I’d spend a good amount of time mixing my nutrients every 3-4 days. I’d mix in my 1 gallon milk jugs and then administering 1/2 gallon to each plant. I’m planning to go to 3-4 plants for my next grow and don’t want to be mixing multiple batches of solutions. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
So, I figured I’d share what I’m planning to do. I think I can get a drip system set up for pretty cheap. But, we shall see how it goes. I just know that I’d much rather mix a solution of 1.5-2 gallons in a bucket that I can pump equally to my plants over mixing multiple batchespoor into smaller watering cans multiple times to feed a higher quantity of plants.
I know this is not revolutionary, and I’m sure there are guides out there somewhere. But, I’d rather think thru it myself.
I found a small pump from Menards for $15 and a 6 feed manifold for ~$3. That’s the bulk of the system and the rest is a bucket, a couple sizes of hose, a sprinkler and fittings.
see below for my plan graphic. I’ll update this thread as I build it. But I don’t intend to even start germinating my second grow until I know I have this dialed in.
