Hello all, im trying to find a bettet way to wayer my grow. Its becoming a real pain in the ass. Its only becoming jarder to water as the plants grow. Im currently growing in soil. Im swotching to bucket system next. So hete is my dilemma...i am currently watering using a gallon empty jug. So i scoop out water and pour into to each plant. Its a pain when having to water 40 seven gallon containers. I have a 250gph submersible pump but i cant find an adaptet to fit a garden hose. What i want to do is connect a garden hose with extended arm for watering to my water pump so i can water using a garden hose. If u can help me figure this out it would reslly help. Thanks for taking time out to read snd help.

What about using a few autopot holiday valve, a large resovoir(water butt) and some shallow trays.
Drill some holes in the bottom of your pots, place in the trays with valve. Connect the valve to the res and fill the res. It's gravity controlled so requires no power and best if all works on a dry/wet cycle.

octopots hold 6 gallons of water beneath them for a bottom watering on demand experience. If you can manage the other factors involved these might be for you. I added water every five days for thought.

...and nice plants there too!

I switched from 2.5 gallon pots, to five gallon gro bags like yours, then all the way back to five gallon buckets...all in the name of watering less frequently with less effort.

I can extend my vaca to one week if I flood each bucket and use a gimmicky plant nanny thingy with a 2litre bottle . many ways to do it though, these gimmicky types are the only types of waterers that allow me to shelf my wet dry vac permanently. I checked out different types to find one to fit my needs.

Just need a small sump pump hooked to a hose and wand.

This...I use to have a trash can with a sub pump in my room that I used for watering, can use a wand or set up a irrigation system where all you have to do is flip the switch for a couple min and your done, could put that on a timer and only have to refill your res...I like to keep it simple
