Does anyone have a system for watering their potted plants? As my grows gets bigger and more complex its getting harder to hand water. Does anyone use drip rings or stakes, not on timers or anything but just as a way to water hard to reach pants. Ex. run drip rings or stakes like in a drip system, but just fill a Res when its time to water and run the drip untill you get run off and then turn it off till next watering. I want to try it since my latest scrog fills my box completely and trying to reach in there even with a 24" wand is a pain. I'd rather just plug in a pump and watch it water itself. You could put on/off valves on each line to turn off each plant as some may need more than others. What do you think?

You could easily rig a system that has a tubing leading to all your plants, and then a big reservoir that sits higher than the tubing. Mix your nutes in the water, dump it into the res, and then let the tubing split the water up to each plant. I would use a thin tubing if I were you so there is no water erosion on the soil.

No pump needed! Let gravity do the work.

Forgot to mention, you'd need to connect the tubing to the reservoir obviously. In my mind, I'm thinking of a 6-hose beer bong essentially.

Tropf blumats. They are automatic drippers that work individually for each plant. So each plant is always getting the perfect amount of water. You can set them up to use with a rez or with a direct connection to a hose or spigot.

I have trouble reaching the ones in the back after awhile.
Went with a automotive transmission funnel and a PVC pipe extension.
Works good for me hand watering one at a time.
May be worth a try?
