Connect a hose to a faucet or other water source Ghats long enuf to reach your grow. Viola! When done using, u roll it up like a garden hose

cool idea. They also make this hose that will roll itself up, called the pocket hose, 50ft long.
I powerwash and stain decks sometimes and ive tried it a couple times works well.

ok sorry about that ....but what about the problem with using tap water on plants?...the reason i was thinkong about the bucket and the tube is cause i still leave my tap water out days to get rid of chlorine...so i figured id just use my phd water to pour in buckets

Does your tap water have alot of chlorine and is the ph 7.0? I use tap water on my plants, and spray the leaves off with distilled if i get any on the leaves, so it doesnt leave any residue.

Use some physics shit, as long as the reservoir sits higher than the plants, the water should go downward through the tubes into the pot. Very small opening on the end of the tube going into the pot.
