Use A Backpack Sprayer For Watering?

[seaslug]

I've given up on my Blumat systems (because of aqueous white mold) and went to two-gallon hempy pots.

Question: Is anyone using a backpack sprayer for watering their plants?

I'm tired of spending time on my knees, handwatering from a watering can. I'd like to stand up straight and point the watering wand under the plants. The spray nozzle would be removed.

This model used to be adustable down to 15psi but Chapin removed that feature.

Why not just use a hose? If 4 gallons covers the garden then the backpack would probably be great, just remove the sprayer or drill into a sprinkler. Cool idea.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm indoors. I put the thread here instead of the Indoor forum because I figured someone is doing this outside. I considered using the Blumat (gravity) reservoirs with 12 feet of tubing and a wand.

Veg room, I also have seven flowering hempy buckets.

I use to use something similar when I was doing the guerrilla thing
That's how I did all my foliar feeding;)

I can't handle a backpack watering system. I have a sprayer on wheels for foliar stuff. But for watering, especially if feeding, I use a sump pump + hose + watering wand. It's far more efficient for me. I can even drop it all into a trash can that's in my little cart that's hooked up to the quadrunner, and I can take that almost anywhere (hell of a slope here, so there are limits).
