This initial idea has the water reservoir being a ~10 gallon fish tank. The tank is elevated so that the water has less distance to travel vertically to reduce the strain on the pump. The growing tubes are gutter downspouts. The "humidity chimney" is simply a pipe that vents the atmosphere from the fish tank reservoir to the atmosphere in the greenhouse to conserve and transfer humidity. Water evaporation is going to happen and so the thought is to at least direct the water vapor into the greenhouse chamber where the plants can benefit from it!
