watering multiple plants at once

[xGrimace]

I think thats what they have caregivers for plants, unless you can think of an easy way to water without carrying any water or buckets.

true but ill be dammed if i hurt this fucker again...shit i love walking....lol

Hear that brother, I have a bad lower back that goes out some time and it sucks. If it's the bending over part that hurts, how about a reservoir/container on some kind of elevated platform with a single 5' hose/pole combination with a trigger/valve to release the water at the handle? You could fill reservoir with garden hose and let it sit to dissipate. Use maybe 10-15 gal res?

Slowly drill a hole in the side, toward the bottom of a few 5 gallon buckets and add a hose connector in the side ...seal around it... connect a hose...cap the end when not in use. Gravity should take care of the rest...reel it up just my 2 cents

hey guys um just curious anyone here have any inexpensive diy ideas for watering 12+ indoor plants in 3 gallon pots at once ....now i may sound dumb but just bare with me lol....i was thinking get my 5 gallon bucket ....half inch from the bottom drill 12 holes around the side...insert aquarium airline tubing in each end ...silicone that secure....then accordingly run each tube to each pot ...that way i should be able to pour water in bucket without moving every pot to water plants everytime i water ya know(tedious with back problems) do you think this would work...any help is greatly appreciated

what makes you think all 12 plants will need watering at the same time?

great dam point....but to answer your question.... ive had 6 grows 1st being the worst...but from grow 3 to 6 theyve been perfect 4 ounces or better dry per plant...with no deficiencies and i watered everyone at the same time 3 to four days apart....i learned its kinda hard to drown cannabis and easier to let it get to dry imo...thats why ill stick to my same time water schedule ...it works for me without confusing myself with individual watering

Here is a video of my set up which could be expanded. It allows me to turn off water to any single plant while the others feed.

You may also want to look into the Tropf Blumat system. It is an auto feeder that is pretty easy and not too expensive.

if it works for you then yeah.

the only time mine have ever been watered the same time is at germination and transplant. maybe once when i was going out of town for 3 days.

i use 3 gal. pots for ceeds and 4 gal. for clones. some plants grow bigger and drink more than others so i end up checking them all every day and some drink and some dont. lol

is there any particular reason for using 3 gallons for seed and 4 for clones...im using 3 this time because it was a 3 gallon pot of purple cheese auto seed that let me know i could get 4 ounces from auto flower um like hey im cool with that number...ill keep trying wit with the 3 gallons and it takes up less space

 

[mrblu]

yeah just use a gravity drip system with cut off valves for each plant like growindad showed. bout got mine finished just gotta get the halos.

 

[joe blow greenthumb]

Connect a feeder line to all pots or sit them on the soil. Connect them to a funnel. Now pour and wait.....

ceeds take longer to get going. when my plants are ready for flower, i take clones, and the clones will grow big in 8 or 9 weeks before the the flower room is open. so i use a larger container for the clones.

Nah don't need a pump. Just turn your faucet on or off
