Best ways to suck water from drain pan???

I've also a selection of syringes that I also use frequently for feeding or drawing solution from saucers they're available 1-500ml versions.

A kids water jet/soaker things are cheap and they hold a decent amount.

Didn’t think of that wow thanks

Boat and gas syphon 6$ at lowes

Ive one of these type. Battery powered, seldom use it tho......

The idea is for the run off to be drained automatically into the saucer.



The piece of rubbing makes it more convenient for tight spaces like the saucers with the pots in them.

That's funny......LMFAO.

Just search for a "manual liquid transfer pump" either locally or on Amazon. Sure, the battery ones work but they burn up batteries like crazy and, in my experience, break. My manual pump is by far the most useful little item I've found for this task.

Im not trolling .. you are going from thread to thread telling people not to listen to the members here who are infact knowledgeable and helpful but you got worked by acouple of them and decided to go on some kind of crewsade telling new members to read books, not to come here for info.. appears to me you are the one trolling..

I use an engine oil extractor ("Hansen" brand) its a plastic bottle with pump in top around 6 liter capacity,
like a reverse pressure sprayer from ebay around £12.

My bud.. ( not an auto)
Seeds was flipped to 12/12 at sprout..

Your bud

I use rolled-up paper towels like a dish rag, wring them and use again until finished, then toss them. But, I don't have massive amounts of runoff as I don't water like many suggest. I'm partial to sativa strains and they tend to prefer watering more frequently using less water, in my experience. At 9 weeks from seed, my autos are sucking-up 3 quarts of water every other day with minimal runoff.

One of those long stick type squirt guns is actually a pretty good idea.

If you buy a shop vac, just make sure it's big enough to hold more water than what you're vacuuming. If not it becomes a pain in the ass to stop and empty it over and over. If you have a big garden look into buying one with a drain port, and then buy one of these.

I'm not really sure what this has to do with anything, but you have the environment locked in nicely.

Sorry, I should have turned the lights down on those pics.

Why did you even post them? Lol.

I was just showing the scale of the plants, pots and runoff collection tray in reference to my post about using paper towels. I was a bit slow on the response.
