Handy hints hand watering

Hi Guys

Does anybody have any ideas how i can hand water plants inside a tent without having to take them, i appreciate i could put them in a saucer and wait for plant to drain before emptying however this is a bit of a pain.
I was wondering if there are stands that could support the pots as well as raising them and i could place a saucer underneath to collect the runoff this would save having to keep lifting the pots.
Or if anyone has any other techniques that do the trick, cheers guys

I don't use a tent but I have washing machine drain pans elevated 12" off the floor with a drain into a wash pan to catch the overflow.

Use a tank , with a pump & a bit of hose with a watering lance on it. Fill a measuring jug with lance & count how many seconds it takes to fill, a voila !

I dont worry about watering till run off any more to be honest. With so many years, u kinda know how much water to give each that will be just enough to only get a small trickle.

But what i used to do, and the times that I do over water a touch, i use a turkey baster to suck up any excess water from my drain trays. It sounds alot worse then it is, only takes a few extra minutes when watering.
