(GUIDE)Watering solution for all fellow Scroggers

For my new grow box, I knew I would have a problem watering my girls once the canopy got to thick. So before any of that, I went ahead and rigged up gravity watering system and its been working great so far.
You'll need-
-Water bottle
-Vinyl tubing, 3 or 4 port air line vavle
- electric tape


Cut the bottle in half and mount it upside down in the side of your grow area, but at least a foot or two above your pots.
Cut a hole in the bottle top and run a short piece of tubing from the bottle top to the valve/splitter. Secure them with tape.

From each outlet on the valve, run a lenght of tubing into your grow tent and to one of your pots. Use a piece of bent coat hanger wire shaped like a "u" to secure the tube in the soil near the base of the plant.

Repeat for each pot. If you have 4 plants, you should have 4 lines, one running to each pot.

To water, you simply open the valves to the pots that you want to water( all 4, just one, etc) a begin pouring your water/nutes in the reservoir and you'll see it running into your pots. It doesn't get any easier than that.

I've added some pictures also. Any thoughts?

On version 2.0 you should place the water bottle inside the grow area, then you wont have to go through any walls with the tubing and can see the plants being waterred while your doing it.

Your bottle appears to be mounted on the back of a hinged wood door outside the grow area, how do the tube not get pulled away when you open the door?
