I bought a water heater plastic drain plan off amazon, was $25 but is 36X36 with about 1.5" lip all around, fits the bottom of the tent perfectly entirely, just set all your plants in it instead of individual buckets and vacuum up any runoff
Home depot sells a "shop vac" that attaches to any 5 gallon bucket for only $20, dont have a bucket? Buy one for $3

Thanks. This looks like a good idea.

That would be ideal for me if they had a 4x4 to go in my 5x5. I like having a border between my pots and the tent wall. It helps air circulation.

Just an observation Ma Med. NOT TRYING TO START A PISSING MATCH AT ALL (read this line twice if need be).
I see your filter set up and notice that probably about a 1/4 of the surface area is against the wall in the corner. Have you thought about moving it at all? Hell for all I know that is just your spare and it isn't hooked up. Just an observation.
Shop vac I'd assume.

No worries at all. I have thought about moving the 2 I have. I don't have the available room in the ceiling. I have 9 Xxl hoods. They take up most of the space. I tried to relocate but just couldn't find a place. The filters are about 2" away from the wall. My room is completely sealed I didn't think having them up on the wall would be bad. They def do the job

I ran into the exact same issue. I had a tent that I was going to scrog. I can only access the tent from the front because it is in a corner. As a first timer, I decided to skip the scrog net this time around.
I ended up buying a 3x3 drain tray for my 4x4 tent. I have 4, 7 Gal pots in it.
I made this DIY watering wand system to allow me to easily reach the back of the tent.
ECO 396 submersible pump
1/2 inch tubing
Ball valve - home depot
Flexible end - home depot - just randomly found this on a shelf for 2$ and decided to try it. it allows me to point it around for a bit more control.
I usually use around 2.5 gallons on these 4 plants (20 days into flower now, they are drinking more and more each time). I mix my nutes, then transfer it all into a 4 gal bucket with the pump in the bottom. On the tube end, I have the ball valve closed. Plug in pump, get myself into the watering position, then use the ball valve to adjust the flow with one hand.
This works fairly well for me. The major draw back for me is that the pump need water to pump, so its hard to get all of your water out of the container and to your plants, there will be some left over that the pump just can't get out. I overcome this by using a bit of extra water now. Initially when I noticed this problem I would just water the hardest to reach plants first, then when the pump stopped it was generally easy to just use a solo cup to add the remaining water to the last plant (in front).
I suck up the water drain with the wet/dry vac in that pic (also Home Depot), then towel/sponge up ALL water. Don't want to take any chances with bugs breeding or being attracted.
