So I have 40, 5 gallon soil plants and i've been going threw about 15-20 gallons a night while mixing all my nuts 5 gallons at a time and hand watering with a cup. This is just way to much work and taking way to much time so i bought a 20 gallon trash can to use at a reservoir, a 360 gph pump, 25 ft x 1/2 in hose and a 33 in watering wand. Looks and feel great but the 360 gph pump is way under power so my main question is what size pump should i run with this and any other tips? Thanks

add a drip manifold and be amazed at how easy watering gets. i bought this for 17 dollars at hydro store. took 5 minutes to screw all the barbs into the main

I ended up buying the pump aeroknow told me, 20 gallon can, a 25' x 1/2" garden hose with a 33" garden shower head wand. works perfect for what i was looking for. The 20 gallon can means i only have to mix nuts once, hose reaches every plant and the 33" wand mean no more crawly under plants to water them. Drip system would be nice but i like to hand water ever plant because some dry out over night and some take a couple days so I almost never give every plant the same amount of water.
