What to do with water runoff with a SCROG.

I have the plant buckets off the ground on wire shelf used to for storage in closets. It allows me slide a drain pan under the plants while watering. I let the plants drain and drip for 20-30min than remove the pan from the shed and dump the water. Easy peasy

This is exactly what I was doing before setting up my hydro buckets. Worked great.

I plumbed my saucers together with grommets barbed tees and elbows and some tubing to my sump well. Bought plant riser platforms from the grow store. Full automation with low clearance now. 4 35 gallon feed tanks outside the room for the drip manifold. 4 1000 gph pumps. Fill and reset them once a week. 3 gallon smart pots of coco coir get one drip line each. Pumps hooked to a master digital timer (autopilot). Got tired of water wands for feeds and shop vac sucking the waste from the saucers. Once i got to a certain scale....i wanted to automate all that mutli and daily feed times. Fuck that. I got a life to ya know. Lol.
