i did a few modifications to this already awesome auto watering planter in order to accommodate my purposes, which is to sit nice and snug in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, i added raised supports to hold terracotta pots above the water line, the intention is to design a watering system that can take cannabis from seedling to vegetative without much user intervention.

to make this work(apart from its obvious design), i add a cotton or bambu cloth strip from the inside of the terracotta starting pot, out the center hole to hang in the water and use the capillary effect to slowly water the plants without drowning them(i have yet to master not drowning them).

just for some back round, this stemmed from an experiment where i made a mock up system using the above listed principles and the system worked fantastically, i came back in a week, the water was drained dry and the seedlings took leaps and bounds forward into lush healthy young plants.

Edit:
added another iteration, 8.25" dia
