Need a good method for removing run off in my attic groom.

[TheHottDawg]

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of how I can get rid of runoff when feeding my girls.
I'm just using a 10l water bottle and a 5l watering can and it's a bollox lol
I'm scrogging 4 plants and have very little space to manoeuvre in the groom. Scrogs are attached to the pots so that's a help but using these plant pot trays are a nightmare because I have to lift the pot until it stops running then empty trays into bucket etc
So any tips guys?

This is what I did.



100 x 100 x 13 drip tray from a motor spares store.
Some 2 by 3 planking cut to 110. I put small stoppers underneath to keep them in place and not slip or slide.
Used some expanded mesh that I used to raise other garden plants up from the tops in my green house. Bulls just balances the pots on two of the cross beams.


To remove the water run off, I am currently using a 20l wet vac. But busy working on a quieter method that is also automated. Simple float switch and a pump venting directly out into the garden. Final parts get del tomorrow.

I have trays that fill up, & I used to pump it away with a drill pump. I also had small 200litre an hour pumps but the clogged up pretty quick

Cheers guys. Joker ill look into that auto drain system it sounds interesting! Probably costs more than I can spend atm though lol
I like the look of what you have Viz I may have to do something very similar as feeding is becoming an inconvenience lol

I hear you bud, I used bulls version of the dripper system and that cost me less than £40 for everything. The drip tray was my biggest expense so far £24

I liked the system that joker has but it is too big for my tent, there is another kind very similar but would work with my Airpots but cost the same as the one Joker is using, £149 a go. The expensive part is the brain.

Yeah Viz just spotted the rhizo drain system at 150. Out of my price range at the mo lol
Diy job it's going to be then I think. Need a day or 2 off work now to get it done

I started out with two long trays under the pots but felt restricted and not able to put other pots in. So bought the big square tray. They have bigger versions in the shops too.
