Help me with watering!

[silent_lemon]

Hey there, inside my 4x4 tent I have 6x 3 gallon pots, hopefully with a large scrog canvas in the future, and no doubt when i am flowering it will be hard to reach the pots at the back. At the moment I am taking the pots out, watering them outside with an old watering can, and putting back which is less than ideal. What are some methods/items used to water in tight regions of your growspaces?

Ive used a long wand to water a garden/wash car before, but this is indoor... with no garden hose. Also, how does one strive to keep the perlite suspended in the medium when watering brings it to the surface?

Use a sprayer with a hand pump or pump it out of a bucket with an electric pump.

well being in a tent, having to take the plants out now and then is unavoidable

But you can easily water them while inside too.

You can get like llama suggested a pump sprayer or even a wand attatched to an electric pump. You can also look towards drip sprayers( more advanced) but think of pulling your plants out as a good thing.

IME when a plant is ignored and sits in the corner, it starts to do bad stuff. Mildew, Hermie etc

Your tent didnt come with flaps on all 4 sides that are removeable? This makes working on lighting/watering in inconvenient spots much easier. If not, using the hand pump wand sprayer would probably enable you to reach all your plants.

it does, but sitting in the corner of a room surrounded by objects doesnt give me a different vantage on the tent, unfortunately.

those pump sprayers dont flow enough water in mist mode, and in stream just comes out with too much pressure. At very least this method doesnt bring up perlite.

standard watering can works, but brings the perlite to teh surface, and that style watering can is not as nimble or dextrous as other methods considering im planning for an immovable scrog canvas
maybe ill heed what llamaschool, and Dr Dog said, sump pump and watering hose would be ideal...these things become less ideal in an apartment though.

we shall see!

A long funnel should help, i've have to useone sometime ,Get one with a big top part(were you pour in the water) works the best and if you need more length a short peice of garden hose will slide up on the end..


Peace INH

that's a very good idea, thanks for that one!

I grabbed the attachment wand off my vacuum cleaner(know what I'm talking about?) and just sit one end in the pots I can't reach and pour water in the other end.
Works like a charm and I didn't have to go any further then my closet to get it, and the cost was 0
