Manifold with emitters, pumped or gravity fed. If funds are super tight try a hose and funnel with a shutoff valve on a broom stick. I did years ago... it was comical. Kind of becomes a two man job. Otoh you could also build a flood table (drained dry or pumped out if vert is at a premium). Good luck bro :)

top drip with a hose feed, fed off a external 18-30 gal tote fed by a pump? I use one for my veggers and it works but id say like the others, get something quick and personally automated. You'll have work to do soon ;)

Imho that's your best option. Put a "saucer" under each pot and stop the pump as soon as you see water puddling. Better get going, those things are gonna be wall/wall in a minute!

Homedepot sells black concrete tubes that can be used for drain to waist. You can use an eight foot pvc 1/2 pipe to reach the plants and feed from a rez. It will allow you to water without having to move the plants. If you are interested than let me know and I can post some photos. Hope this helps you:cigar:

Maybe make a couple of rolling platforms and put a couple plants on each? Attach a rope and pull em out every time you need to check em?

Yea. However you decide to proceed, saucers are a must to protect that nice wood floor underneath...

Lots of great ideas here. You could use the saucers with little caster wheels on them so you can move plants very easily. I've seen them at grow shops and even places like Meijer. Good luck
