How do you drain your runoff?

[kovidkough]

I'm currently going to remodel the drawers from a small plastic dresser I found for free on the side of the road. no better price on ground scores

a 200ml syringe i guess is feasible. are people serious about a turkey baster? that is 1.5oz. that would take me 45 minutes to remove the runoff from 1 tray.

put your trays at an angle and drill a drain hole or use a pump

How big are your pots?

If 10 gallon or under just water in your shower. Let run off finish out. Put back in tent.

Simple and doesn't cost a thing.

You can’t be serious.

Read further down in the thread. And also remember im a outdoor grower who is beginning his venture into tent growing as we speak.

The ground has collected runoff for me lmao

And a 2' section of tubing drains my 10 cups or so in a few minutes. LOL. Graduated to shop vac,

I have extra bottom saucers. I let it run off and sit then switch it. Back in the tent it goes.

runoff water goes down the basement drain

It’s perfect. It’s not a walkout so there are no doors or windows. It stays cool in the summer and very cool in the winter. Perfect for HPS.

Growing organic in soil means I just let the pots suck back up what little runoff I get during watering sessions. ezpz

Lucky.
From what I understand. No basements needed, rarely built in our non-freezing wussy california weather.

if you go into the attic you could tap into rain gutters =)

My paint tray. With gravity drain.

Where’d you find that manifold for your waterlines

Spend an afternoon in the PVC fittings aisle in a big box store. You will be amazed at the possibilities. And overcome with creativity and brilliance.

I'm 200lbs in shape, and I dread moving wet 10gallon pots. Most plants I've grown in 10gallon pots end up hitting the ceiling of whatever room I'm in if I lift them, and I'm average height... This task would make watering so unpleasant I'd surely avoid the task as much as possible.

My current grow is in 10gallon fabric pots -- can tell you just moving the plants in my tent/bedroom to inspect trichomes and whatnot has become a chore

I really like the battery powered mini shop vacuum thing...genius

Just curious, why such huge pots for an indoor grow? I have grown 1 plant that took up up a 5x5 tent in a 5 gallon fabric pot, why so big?

I know just what you mean. I use 15 gal pots. And instead of perlite, I used pumice and lava rock. Holy shit, lava rock makes it way heavier. I use a handcart when I move them from upstairs to downstairs. There's no way I could carry these by hand. In my room I just slide them around.

Wizzle is a little bigger than me though, lol.
