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?

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

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.
