So I have a bit of a problem.

With my new 4x4 tent it is gonna be a bitch to move the plants around all the time. Does anyone have a way/solution for watering plants without moving them?

A pump attached to water wand or somthing?

Should I just build a drain table? How would I go about doing that?

Maybe if I built a table out of 2x4 and had a tray that tilted to one side or the middle and could put a bucket underneath to catch the runoff?

Has this been done before without going completely hydro?

I'm watering my back plants with a funnel taped to 2 shop vac extensions cuz I don't know where my pumps are ATM.

Ha. I guess that would be the simplest way to water. Could even get some pvc pipe and drill holes into an endcap.

What about getting water out of drain trays?

Could be an interesting medium between hydro and soil.

Set up water feeds that have one place to pour and distributes evenly to all plants. Then have a pump you can turn on to remove excess water.

Would remove need to ask hubby to help me lift plants.

I think any of your ideas will work. I'm lazy so ,I use a drain table,

rubbermaid tub underneath, drain to waste. I lose 8" of vertical.

Hubby may have to empty water though.

I don't like to move my plants when they're at the end of flowering. I don't want to brush up against the buds or hit them on the tent.

I stake up the ones that might tip over or snap a branch.

I am not growing trees though, 6-9 in a 4x4.

I do the big girls (if any) in the garage tent that I can open fully

Well I want 5+ oz a plant.

Plus watering a bunch of plants seems like more work.

Yeah its more work.

I would like to do a grow with less larger plants of the same strain again once- just for simplicity.

I love variety, and dont know how long till Ill do that again.

what's up 6?
so much work to do today and i should be getting a jump on it already.

bought a new apollo 4x4x8 tent (didn't know they made one but since the ballast are solid why not) to use for flower untill i move in a couple months at which time i will run the 3x3 and 4x4 but for now swap my 4 ladies to the 4x4 and throw my blue pit and 2 candylands from veg in the new tent also....after i transplant of course-more work-

the airy timewreck i had been asking about while still airy and dreadlockish is plumping up rather nicely coming down the home stretch(57 days today) i think a lot of my worry came from mis labeling the clone and expecting a different bud structure because it isn't too different then the other times i have run her.

i will come back and drop some bud porn on ya guys a little later and update my dog & blue pit grow off page.

wish we didn't live in such a strange time because i would love to give someone with the room this ogkush mother i will hae to pitch soon do to room limitations but i would love to see what it could pull in a scrog by herself.

maybe one day we will be "free enough" to gift a friend a damn plant.... sounds silly
