DarkRoom tent question... Real Quick

Will the insert that you put down inside the tent hold water. Say if you over watered A LOT and ended up with a gallon or two of drain water will it end up all over the place or will this insert keep it in?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT - sorry mixed up my tents.. The 4x4 and smaller Darkroom tents have a 1 piece insert.. You'd be good with those.. 5x5 and up have a seam that runs across the bottom piece that would leak if you left sitting water in there.

Those saucers are super deep... Could help if excess runoff is your concern.

Pool liner would work too.

the insert will def hold water but its not like you wanna make a swimming pool out of it or leave excess water on the water depending where you live and your humidity

thanks for the replies.

for the record, I was more thinking if you watered in a rush, and HAD to be out the house and you just dumped water into the pots and didnt collect runoff, or just dumped a gallon or so down in the insert and let it wick up just to avoid them dying. On some Emergency type shit, NOT everyday practice.

Peace.

It will hold some water. It's great for messes, and small spills, but for a good amount of runoff, you need a tray.
