How do yall clear runoff from your drip trays? I'm currently pulling my one flowering plant out of the tent to water and drain, but that's gonna suck if I try to scale up to the five I'm allowed."There HAS to be a better way!"

There is a better way, get a pump and some tubes and place the tubes in the trays, after about 20/30 minutes after watering turn it on and it will suck the water into a disposal container. Hope it helped, if you have automated irrigation you can just time the pump to that time after the watering. Hope it helped and if it did plesse pick my answer its for grower of the month contest. I really would appreciate the fastbuds merch they have as a prize .

Heya! Some people make a little rack for the plants to sit on in the tent and then you can pull out the water tray and empty. People have also used mops and shot vacs. I personally use a shot Vac in my flower tent to keep humidity down. In the veg tent I let the water sit in the water trays to help with humidity, however my pots are not sitting in the water. Pots should always be raised up to avoid sitting in the water. Another good idea would to use a piece of plastic or plywood the size of your tent, have it angled down to a drain or something for you to empty. Cheers,
