I have an air pump question for the PMP method.

Greetings all. I am happy to make this my first post as a first-time member and longtime lurker.
My question is with what sort of air pump I should get for a 14 gallon container for the PMP method. I have searched extensively in the archives and I cannot get a clear answer as most of the time it is hijacked by someone saying they should use the shotgun method. Please don't suggest that as I will be apart from my grow quite a bit during day due to work. Would this air pump be sufficient for a 14-16 gallon container? https://www.amazon.com/Tetra-77851-Whisper-Pump-10-Gallon/dp/B000A0PYQK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1481004182&sr=8-4&keywords=air%2Bpump&th=1
Thank you ahead of time for your responses.

Not really recommended to leave it for a week but yeah RR made the SGFC while working 12 hour shifts. Mist in the morning when you wake up. When you get home from work, and right when you go to bed.

This is all you will hear. PMP is outdated info, the reason people keep telling you to create a SGFC is because that is the best way to get fruits. People here will tell you the truth, whether you like it or not facts are facts. Fact is SGFC>PMP Dick

can/can not/should/should not, it all depends on the context. as I said you wont kill the cakes off but you sure wont get good results either.
reminds me of "cubes dont need a casing layer", true, but that does not = cubes can not benefit from a casing layer.

Okay, thank you for your replies I will reconsider opting or the shotgun method if that seems to be the consensus for most people. Wish me luck!

You are wise to listen to reason. The SGFC needs minimal attention. I speak from quite a few years experience. Best wishes Dick
