I built a semi-automatic watering system that will allow me to mix my nutrients in a Reservoir, flip a switch and it will feed 3/4 plants with equal amounts of water. It’s not completely done but it’s functional!

here are some pictures, leave comments!

Materials:

 

 

 
The DIY Res is just a 2.5 Gal Home Depot bucket with the 3/8" Tube Zip tied / Silicone-d to pull the water from the bottom, I was thinking about adding a inline filter here. The full system works by filling the Res with the total about of water need for the plants, Mixing in the Nutrients, flipping a switch! Very simple and effective. 
 
 
The Brass Fittings I used to connect the 1/2" Joint Elbow and 3/8 Clear Tubing.

Wanted to test how equal the system was and I am pretty happy!

Upgraded to 5 gallon bucket, the old res was leaking so I used a solid pipe this time.
