Oh that aint nothing, somone should have told me that she was having problems with that, I could have talked her through it the easiest ways.
I can do pretty much anything to do with wiring as long as it isnt commercial work or running a new breaker box.

Ok GG i finally got my old ass around to snapping a few pics,these pics are of the gravity watering system i use for my clones & or seedlings,it's not anything fancy but it beats the hell out of crawling around or trying to reach over & around to get at the thirsty girlies.

The system consists of a 5 gallon bucket,a non slip fitting,pvc hose,flow control knob,broom stick & duct tape.

This pic is of the bucket :mrgreen:.



This pic is of the fitting that allows water to flow from the bucket & how i attached it,i drilled a very tight hole to match the fitting,then i screwed in the fitting to make sure it fit,then i removed the fitting & put caulking ( polyurethane ) in the hole & screwed the fitting back in,after that i attached the hose line & added more caulking to the inside & outside of the fitting,making sure to rub it in very well with my finger.

Note,try not to use Silicone caulking for this,silicone lasts a very long time but it does not stick very well to most surfaces unless a special primer is used,polyuretthane caulking lasts just as long & adhears to most anything as long as the surface is clean & dry & the caulk is rubbed in very good.



This pic is of the water line pvc hose i used,its a standard 1/4 inch line & can be found easily at Home Depot,note this water line is for my clones & seedlings & it passes water slowly which was my intention,my watering system for full size plants uses a 1/2 water line connected in the same fashion.



This pic is how the system comes together,the water line is attached to a cheesy little broom stick i got at home depot,my full size watering system uses an extendable & retractable extension handel used for attaching a paint roller to,i can reach 10ft into the grow with the extension handel on the full size system.



This pic is of the on/off/flow control knob,the hose comming from the bucket goes into one end of the flow control knob then attaches to the other side of the control knob & runs the full length of the broom stick.



This pic is of the busines end of the watering wand (broom stick).



I took a large heavy screw hook & drilled it into the ceiling,then i hang the buckets on the hook above my head & gravity does the rest.

Keep in mind that this system is for my clones only,it waters slowly,if you intend to build this you need to use 1/2 inch hose,then you'll be able to fully water a plant quick as you please.

A huge benifit of this was no more spilt nute water on the plants,plus it took my watering time down from 2 hours to about a half hour or maybe a little less.

Sorry for the extremely long explaination of how to assemble this,with your skills at building things im sure something like this would be an easy task for you,i gave the extended version of how to because if i didnt there would surely be one person who was confused & asking how to assemble it all.
