    I bought one of those pump sprayers. It's entirely too slow! So unless you've more free time than most, I'd nix that idea.

    With so many pots, you should look into automation. It's just not as hard as it may seem.

    Before I had timers fertigating my tent, I had a simple on/off switch that would power up the feed pump. That way it's manual... I can watch it.. but my back isn't destroyed and my time is returned.

    Wish you the best though.

    Cheers

    I use a basic 2 gallon watering can with a shower head. Like Barney said. A sprayer is not good for watering. I use my pump sprayer for spraying neem and soap. I agree with barney. With 10 plants, automation is the way to go.

    I have onethats very very similar for my growing and they're excellent.

    Problem you have is while 50 gallons sounds a lot it's not when you have to wait for it. That water store will provide you with almost exactly 6.5l of water. After that it's tap rate which works out on fairly good pressure with a pump at a maximum of 140ml per minute (no that's not a typo) or 8l an hour. With 10 plants you'll need upwards of 30l during late veg early flower. So you're either going to need a much bigger reservoir or you're going to be waiting about 4h for enough water to feed 10 plants...

    As for the rest of the advice watering can is what I use. But doing that for 10 plants is not for me. I'd be doing automation without any doubt...
