I'm thinking about switching to tomato cages at some point but first was going to try a watering nozzle. I'm doing a double scrog and it makes it hard to water. Luckily the girlfriend is small and can crawl underneath to water. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I'm not near as tiny and cannot reach my back plants. I want to possibly buy a nozzle watering can (the one you pump up) but not sure which route to go. Do any of you have any good suggestions?? I want one if possible that shows water levels on the side. I want to put in 4-5g (or more) and be able to see how many litters or gallons i'm feeding. I was looking at self watering systems as well but I feel like I'd rather feed by hand, I trust that more but definitely not opposed to the idea. Any help or suggestions would help. Also growing in a 5x5 so watering jugs with long stems don't work, or at least the ones I've tried. Appreciate the help!

Get a long ass funnel, or glue a piece of pvc pipe to a short one.

10 weeks of that silliness and she'll hate your guts. Just use a hose attached to a watering can. Use what is called a breaker on the end going to the plants. Drop it in and pour slowly. I hope these are all the same strain. If not that's going to be a potential problem at the end.
 
Great ideals. I'll have to mark a 5g bucket with 1g marks, that should do the job. just use gravity for the pressure I'm assuming?

Topping and supercropping combined. I can keep most strains at chest height by doing that. Shorter than that with a shorter veg. SCROG is beautiful. But set in the right place and don't mix strains.

I top once this time. Last time topped 3 times and ended up with a lot of smaller buds. Lesson learned. Never supercropped yet, was thinking I had the height so might as well try SCROG first. I have 2 different strains separated. I water them separately and have a drying tent separate so they can be taken out when they're ready and not just all at once. Seeing how I have a second fully geared tent (carbon inline, fans, heater, humidifier) that I use at a dry tent, would you still recommend not mixing?
 
Hand watering, I used to use a bucket with multiple hoses and squeeze stoppers.
Now when I use them I just plug a funnel in the end of each hose.
