Watering indoor tent with soil pots

hey all, probably a stupid question but what does everyone use to water their indoor soil pots in tents. The watering jug I’m using is no longer viable as they’re too big and I can’t reach the ones in the back very well.

Do you use transfer pumps? Store bought? Home made? I’m curious what everyone is using. Thank you!

Long reach watering can? Hosepipe with a funnel attached? Pressurised spray bottle?

Yeah get one of those sprayers for pesticides. I have 2 of them: one I use for only for straight water and another I use for spraying compost teas. It aerates the water as you deliver it which is beneficial for the plants and the long trigger nozzle helps reach all the way in the back.

I use a cheap fish pond pump and a 30 gallon plastic barrel...I just attach the hose to the end of a bamboo stake. Gives me reach and I can mix my nutes in the barrel as well.....GL

If not scrogged I just take them out and water them/inspect them.

In a SCOG I use Halos fo watering and a pump to suck up any water from the saucers. (could use a small wet/dry vac)

a sump hooked to a piece of 5/8 I.d. hydro tubing works great, I had 8 girls in a 2x4 under a screen and it was the only way to get them h2o, I just put the tube in the pot and plug the pump in for 5-10 sec or until your pots are filled, oddly it is the same way I now drain my res for my table

Go to a fish store/Amazon, get a small aquarium pump ($15) with 10' of 5/8" tubing ($5), a 5 gallon bucket ($5).
I then would get a shut off valve for the tubing so you have control of the flow.
Fill the bucket, drop the pump in, and away you go.
Good luck
