Watering tips for cramped situation +rep

Just looking for Ideas.

I have a scrog going in a small room in my basement in a 4x4 secretjardin with a 600watt hps with 16 plants growing. The chicken wire is approx 36 inches from the floor. These are a sativa dominant strain and the pots are approx. 12 inches in hight.

Anyways to get to my point it is extremely difficult to water the 16 plants using the one main door and the side slots. The water pot i have is very hard to manage i'm i'm not finding any good alternatives in the store.

My other issue is a watter pot usually doesn't hold that much water and i'm currently having to make 2-3 batches of nutes to feed the plants on nute days. I'm wondering if anyone has tips or knows of product that could help me have something that can hold more fluid and allow me to also water my plants easier having to snake back into the tent.

I was thinking about looking for one of those back pack like watering containers that hold 3-5 gallons never used one wondering if i could use it in my situation.

I'm a novice grower but willing to invest in the future and already have to make a sustainable grow for myself

Any help is much appreciated

That sounds like a great Idea, I might look into one myself. The only thing that I would be weary about is amount of feeding I was giving my plants, maybe they have level marks on the pack? Ive been using 1 gallon Gatorate bottles which I measured and marked lines on myself. Good luck. Cant wait for other suggestions.
 
why not make a resouivor out of 5 gallon containers with a timer and a water pump and some tubing, viola instant feed system on a timer. think of a spider with the legs being tubing to feed your plants and the body is a 5 gal container or bigger.

Get a rubbermaid bin and fill it with your water/nute mix. Get a small water pump and put it in the bin on a timer to turn on for a minute or two every couple days. Just attach a hose to the exit of the pump and lead it with splitters to the tops of your pots. Easy as that...

Edit - Damn jesus beat me to it lol
