Easy Automated Irrigation

The only local grow shop I had closed down unfortunately.

The closest grow shop I have is a hour one way from me. I don't go often haven't been back since I bought table

I am going to look locally for a flood table. The only local grow shop I had closed down unfortunately. And they only had 2 ft by 2 ft flood table. I need a 4 ft by 4 ft. Or maybe even a 3 ft by 3 ft. I am in a 4x4 tent.

I use a 3x3 table in my 4x4 tent since I couldn't fit the 4x4 table in my Honda. Works great. They are super expensive to ship but you can get 30x30 flood trays for washing machines at home Depot if you can't get to any hydro stores. Not ideal but it'll work

Haha once I saw the shipping fees I went straight to the Home Depot website and started looking.

I have narrowed it down to getting something that I can repurpose from Home Depot or the EzPz trays and finally the Flora flex drainage trays. I am thinking about just getting everything but the pump from Flora flex.

I use the 1 gallon coco bags, the loose coco, the nutes, and the drippers from floraflex. Everything else is diy. But a flood tray and your own plumbing does add a lot of versatility. But you can use individual trays or really anything to catch the runoff and just use a shopvac to get it out

Yeah I do all that jazz now. Shopvacs, small container for each plant. I am just getting lazy

I started with the shopvac. Been doing the tray and condensate pump for a while now. It's an hour drive to the nearest hydro store for me too, so just make a day trip out of it. But a tray is a real nice upgrade. You might be able to find some rubbermaid trays locally that you can drill some holes in. Might also be worth asking a garden store or pet store that sells fish near you if they can order you one

I USED these Costco boot trays till I got a flood tray.

Solid suggestions! Thanks for the additions.

I will try home Depot, Lowe's and Pet Smart tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can score something that I can repurpose.

Anything plastic that holds water and pot risers will work. You can get bulkhead fittings if you want to drill holes to automate the drainage
