I've got a small tent (60x60x170) that I'm currently growing a 4 plant clone scrog in square 30cm 18L pots. I hand water these and they are growing in Coca - no room for any other hydroponics solution really as this all confined in a cupboard.

I'm going to try a small SOG grow shortly with nine 20cm 2L pots growing from seeds. At the moment I can get under the screen to water all my pots and ensure they get an even feed - this wouldn't be possible with 9 pots in place.

Would it make sense to set up a gravity drip feed system to the 9 pots from a 10L container? I can hang it up near the top of the tent out the way. I could then fill that up at feed time and it would water all the plants.

no will not work .........the plants in the front of the system will get more water then tha back of the system .......something like that one works when a pump is used to push the water down the lines so it all gets even amount

for this u need to do a simple drip ring tube system

that hooked in with some tubing u get from home depot and use a funnel .........mix the feed .....grab the tube put funnel in feed that plant ....then pour a pint of clean water down to flush out the tube/drip ring...repeat untill done... let them lay down on the side untill u need again

I can make up some rings, which will be cheaper. I can just run all the lines to the front of the tent and use a funnel like you said...

i linked u that becuase of how it was designed

there are rows .....each row has 3 holes one that goes directly down and 2 that go off at about 25/30 degree angle

that will soak your whole planter .......giving it even watering to the roots

building your own is cheaper but u are already in scrog .......so building it and tuning it is a bitch more then just getting something that works

if u were on veggie stage i say go for it u have time to test and redo and test again ........but doing it once it has gotten into the net u can not move it u can not look to see if any dry spots

This is for a future grow - not current. I could even get the rings 3D printed so I've got a solid ring for each pot...

Off to price a 3D print for 9 x 15cm rings...

I use a gas can siphon nozzle. Works well. If you raise it up a little, it will free flow but also has a squeeze pump

Drip ring designed in 3DSMax - 15cm in diameter with a 1cm outer tube circumference.

Will cost about $5 to get one printed, but that should come down to $3.50 cause I want 9 printed.
