ill be gone for extended times now 2-4 weeks at a time..i go all soil is there any affordable product you can set up to feed the plants say from a 50 gallon barrell? any help be great

i will have camera feed in the room so i can view it online..so anytime lights needs to be adjusted etc i can send my patient over to do it...but rather access be limited while im away so less in and out the better.

or would a daily timer to come on briefly enough to pump a 1/2 gallon in each 3 gallon pot?

say a regular timer onto a 440gph pump with a line out connecting to a pipe with all attachments to connect hoses and fix them into the pots work? guess i just answered my own question..lol..anyone suggest a non ghetto way to do it let me know lol

just set up a drip system.
get a pump, attach it to 1/2" hose and run it down the length of your garden.
then tap into it with 1/4" lines and drippers and run em to your pots.

then set the time of each run cycle based on flow rate

or you could have the 1/2" run to a couple of manifolds to help equalize pressure (or flow rate?) im not sure which one
