Each seedling is in its 1 gallon pot on the floor of the grow tent.\r\n\r\nPlanning to buy a 5 gallons bucket to fill with water and place in the grow tent as the source of the watering. If the pump is clipped to the top of that bucket, how high would my 6 bonsai pots have to be in order to avoid the siphon effect?\r\n\r\nI'm wondering - since the water inlet tubing end would be at the bottom of the supply bucket - could the 1 gallon bonsai pots simply be an inch or two above the ground (aka an inch or two above the water inlet tubing end that would be at the bottom of the supply bucket)?","subreddit_name":"Bonsai","author":"doudou8310"},{"body":"I've lived here for 7 years now and had plants most of that time and only bought a moisture meter a few months ago. So, trial and error is how I determined how much water my tree needed - poking the soil with my fingers, looking for droopy leaves, that sort of thing. When it's outside, it needs even more water than when it's inside. \r\n\r\nI mentioned above that I repotted it a week or two back for the first time and I've gone from having to water it daily to watering, probably, every 3 days. I don't know if that's related to the new pot, the new soil, or what though.\r\n\r\nI've also had a variety of self watering devices hooked up to it over the years. Outside I had a thing hooked up to my hose that watered it daily but it broke last summer. Inside I have a 5 gallon paint bucket filled with water that's hooked up to a little pump ([something like this](https://smile.amazon.com/Automatic-Irrigation-Houseplants-Programmable-Operation/dp/B0743F4532/)) that waters it when I go out of town/when I'm feeling particularly lazy about taking care of it.","subreddit_name":"VegasPlants","author":"littlebittykittyone"},{"body":"I just had this come up for me and after testing all  the spikes and water bottles I saw I wasn’t Confident in them.  I then decided to test a watering kit and used two 5 gallon buckets as the reservoir. \r\n\r\nI tested this unit the week before I left to see how much water the plant could take before run off and how much water I needed in the buckets.  I then set it to run for 12 minutes every 2 days and boom I came back home to a forest.
