Drip feed irrigation for outdoors

I have 6-20 gallon bags outside. I have a 275 gallon reservoir. I need ideas on how to make a drip/auto watering system for an outdoor grow.

I use rainbird drip irrigation pieces and am way happy with them. They are on an inside grow that is fed/pumped from a 10 gallon rez. , by an aquarium pump. I don’t have it on a timer so it’s not completely automatic but sure is a time saver from my previous methods.

What did you come up with?

Haven’t. Still hand watering. We are in the middle of a severe heatwave here in Northern California. 114 yesterday. I have 6 plants. 5 are dealing with it. One is going through hell. Same nutes, soils and everything. All of them still alive though. Giving them silica. 20 gallon bags and they’re drinking about 5 gallons each a day :flushed::face_with_spiral_eyes:

I hear ya…We aren’t @ 114 Jeez !!! But in the high high 90s and baby 100s ( 100 - 104 ) a few days in a row…This is crap…Poor babies they are tuffing it out though…and yes they’re thirsty…Hang in there buddy !

Do you feed yours nutes daily,every other day? Or ?

I’m feeding Jack’s in root’s soil and I feed every time I water. Which is when I lift the pots and they feel light/dry. I’m using 5 gal. cloth pots.
