Small Or Cramped Room Watering System

[Huckster79]

I have a 6x6 flower room- it gets full in there easy- tough once buds get going to water plants in back without spilling water on buds and even w a watering can with an extension hose it's not all that ergonomic to hold while it empties...

So I rigged this simple system it wasn't too expensive either.

I used four jugs nice solid ones- buckets or anything could work- got so,e fittings at hardware store to attach a line out of bottom... And a shut off valve and some flexible hose. On end of flexible hose I drilled holes and sealed off the end and wrapped it once around the plant at dirt level- making a watering halo- or u can buy one for $10- I'll take the cost of 5 mins of drilling myself- plus u can customize how big of diameter you want to spread water evenly. I now can mix nutes out in my work area and flip the valve and watering done! No more gymnastic poses to reach back girl laden with buds...

Just wanted to share if it would help anyone else out...

Is there a pump?Gravity flow?your not giving us very much to go on.

It's as simple as the pic, no pumps just jugs w a valves drain. Fill em all up, add the nutes- open valves and gravity does the rest...

Looks handy- tho I'm kinda a DIY on the cheap kinda guy- I made one of those just using inexpensive watering can and a section of pex pipe I was able to fit over the end... Worked pretty good- but still had to hold it high and reach for the girls in back.

I don't but sounds like something I'd like to do in future... Still using mainly synthetic nutes (heavy 16 line)!but am thinking in future I'd like to try organic- having great success w h16 but organic concept interests me... I bet if you hunt you could find something like that someone has engineered- or close enough to give you idea how to set it up adapted to your set up... Good luck! :)

I still add seaweed tonic,molasses n other bits to watering's.and teas regular.so your system still looks handy to me.
