Wet floors?

What do you guys do about your drainage? I have to mop everytime I feed and it gets pretty laboring. Just curious if I'm the only one that has to mop.

i just finished putting a large bay sink in my veg room. low to the ground for tall plants.

What medium r u using? If your hand watering with soil/soiless I would buy or build a flood table drill whole in 1 side place bucket under hole and let it drain into bucket dump bucket after it stops dripping. That's what I do

I'm handwatering with soil medium. That tray does sound like a good idea. Gotta make one big enough for 30

why dont you just make a watering table

watering table orrr why dont u just get soccers that go underneath the pots? I finly did that and no more wet floors . Hey they sell them at grow stores same place were u buy your pots

Your gonna get tired of emtying those saucers the flood table makes it less work

this is all you need. acouple peices off that plasic ribbed roofing shit and a peice of gutter. slope the roofing a bit so water runs to the gutter, then the gutter runs into a 5gal bucket. You just grab the bucket after feeding and dump it on your garden outside, make the outside flowers go crazy and keeps indoors dry and clean.

weedslv, Hi,
U would never empty them, since it just to catch the run off. I mean, at the most one cup?? It will be passively wicked up in a very short time.

The heigh in my space is limited. The lights are almost 6 feet. I'm expecting my girls to stretch out to 3 1/2- 4 feet tall so I don't know. That soccer thing sounds intresting. Maybe ill stop by osh or something to check it out

don't you have a drain in the room? you can make a drain pipe to wherever you intend to drain, possibly to a backyard or whatever

Nope. Its in my walk in closet. I have 2 of them so I just put my clothes in one and the other is my growspace

well it is much better to remove the water from the room somehow, will be much cleaner less pests and humidity problems, so either mop it or make a table drain into a closed jug or something, just dont keep water in the open, my 0.02

Yeah trust me I mop up. I'm a lazy fuck but I do what I gotta do. #nodaysoff

So all you guys talking about this runoff table, any threads on a DIY guide. Im in the same situation, to the point i dont water sometims because i know it takes at least an hour.

i use plates, plastic plates anything really that willfit under the pot. what little water that does drain out is quickly absorbed within a day, no mess no fuss. shit, you can even use an empty cat litter pan.

I think I might try the paper plate method. if I do the cat litter I gotta find 30 of them. I've been putting all of them in my bath tub and after it drains I just put them back. That's a lot of back and forth though lol

this is what i did get some plastic milk crates and turn upside down and slide over 5 gallon bucket then u have platform to water and something to catch the water

A wet/dry shop vac

^^^^^^^Was just gonna say this. Use pot "saucers" and suck up the excess with a wet/dry shop vac. I used to do this, and will be getting a new one for my grow I will be starting very soon.
