how would you gravity/siphon feed one 5 gal bucket to a 5 gal dwc bucket so as the plant drank water it would refill the bucket?

Awesome stuff bkb. I can't wait to start getting some dense colas. This is my first run with HID lights. Over an oz per plant with CFL in the same rooms, so I'm hoping to destroy that with some super sugary rock hard nugs.

I was going to try a bubble bucket with a pvc siphon setup on top, from one pail to another.

Run a hose from a higher level(5 gal bucket) to your coffee can at the desired fill level....
Siphon the water so it starts a flow and when the water reaches the fill level,the flow should stop until it drops again

since the res is soo small and it drinks so much, i just dump out what left if any of the food and refill it so my ph is always at 5.5 with the chart i follow and my ppm is 1200+, using GH nutes..some might say thats a too high ppm, i thought it was but im following the chart dosage and it is what it is basically, my plants love it, i love it..my normajane plant tho, shes ina 5gallon tub, i fill her with 3 gallons once a week, my ph never goes above 6, if it does i just top off with some distilled water and im set
