Hey guys,

Midway through my first indoor run. Running 6 x 8L pots filled with a 60/40 mix coco and perlite in a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m space.

Currently I'm hand watering 1L twice a day (which easily gives 30% or so runoff) but I really want to setup a automatic DRAIN TO WASTE system with homemade drip rings feed 3-5 times a day.

I've been reading up on them for the past couple of days but still unsure about a few things.

At the moment I'm going through about 12L of feed a day.

How do I calculate how long and how often I would leave the pump on to see great hydro results?

How big should my res be?

What sort of pump is best?

Would gravity feeding be possible for this setup?

Anything else I missed would be awesome. I'd love to hear what you guys have setup and any pointers.

Cheers!
