yeah I understand that, you don't have to pump much at the beginning but you want a constant oxygen source if your roots will be always submerged in water but once they get big you will want to, with ebb and flow, flood the plants 3 -4 times a day. if you have the roots always submerged in water you just need an air stone and make sure you ppms and ph are good.I understand the principle well enough,just would need to understand how long to run the pump and when,i.e, 4 times a day for 20 mins or 6 times for 10.
The only other concern would be in the winter from October until Jan or feb,the power is guaranteed to go a few times especially around Christmas so timing would be important,apart from that all I need to do is make a table and buy some sort of res.
The system I have is basically a glorified hempy bucket so it's not overly complicated.
