Watering

[thisbuds4u101]

Hey Folks
Can anyone shoot me some ideas on something I can create or purchase to water the plants in a congested room? The larger my plants get the more difficult it is to get them to water. I’ve tried securing a flexible hose attached to a 10’ pole but it’s time consuming and just isn’t working out.
Appreciate your feedback

im.currently making a water wand with a 1 gal gravity feed.
pretty simple and it works.

Is that something you made or purchased

Sounds like you need to set up an automated drip system so you don't need to physically get into the room as much? Have you checked out blumats?

i just made it. copper pipe male/fem ends and shutoff goes to garden hose and tapped into.a 1gal bucket with a pressure fit garden hose end on it. cheaper than a whole drip system but if you could get an automated system it would be alot easier for you.

5 gallon bucket, a few feet of dripline and the fittings to connect the driplines to the bucket. You don't need flow control, just run the lines to the pots and use dripper stakes to secure them. Hang the bucket up and fill it with solution.

Respect. I made a wand out of 1/2" vinyl tubing zip tied to a foot long junk piece of aluminum tubing. The vinyl tube hangs over the end of the aluminum tubing about 6" to give a downward arch. I have two ball valves at the base: one as an on / off valve and the other to set the flow rate. I have it hooked up to a tiny sump pump, but I used to just gravity feed it. It's super simple and I used parts that I already had. I made my own because most wands are either too heavy, too bulky or the head is angled oddly. I bought like 10 of them trying to find one I liked before going DYI.

Funny, I was just thinking about this earlier. How's your setup coming along?

Well I hooked a 25’ flexzilla hose attached to my 30 gal. Tank which holds my nutes at the end attached a flow meter and 4’ wand the flow meter works great allowing me to get exactly 1 gal. Per plant which allows me about 10% runoff. Hey thanks to all who provided advice
