Simple question

After lurking here for quite a while I signed up today to ask a simple question. What methods are used to water under a ScrnOG?
This Nirvana Critical plant is 9 inches tall and 22 inches wide with 6 nodes (all producing wonderful seconardies) 4 weeks after poking outta the dirt nipple. I've placed a screen 8 inches above the soil to begin training but realized I will no longer be able to move the pot to water and the clearance between screen and soil is not enuff to get my usual watering can in there.
What ingenious methods do ScrnOG growers use to deliver water to their plants?

I've never grown ScrOG before, the inability to move the plants around doesn't sit well with me. However, I do know two people personally who do.

One uses an automatic drip system (Claber Oasis, I have a couple of these units as well for when I'm away for more than a few days), and the other uses a home-made funnel with a 2L pop bottle with the bottom cut off with a 6' hose attached.

I am fortunate enough to be able to reach these to hand water. But for non lollipopped grows I use apiece of 1/2" pvc with a 2 ltr bottle taped to it. The bottom is cut off the 2 ltr making a funnel. I prefer hand watering. I know my water usage intimately. And I spend more time observing my plants.

I feel your pain! I have grown under a screen before and know the challenges of watering. One thing i have tried is a pump sprayer ( Hudson sprayer). That works pretty well, except for constantly having to pump it. I picked up a transfer pump from Harbor Freight a few months ago for $10. It takes 2 D batteries and works great! Drop the pump in my bucket, flip the switch, water away! Check it out!

I mostly scrog, to save my back and keep from wetting the plants I put together a sump pump in a garbage can to mix and store water;
A garden hose from the pump and an extendable 3-5 foot wand type nozzle.
You can get every plant easily, just feed it under the plant canopy and water.
Totally worth the investment. If you go hydro it can be adapted for that system as well.

Happy watering!

Inspiring replies all.
As a fan of the KISS principle I think I'll start with something like this.


For $5, wth.
