How to reach back plants when watering?

I had this problem so I solved it and a few others by getting rid of the tent. If you have the space to run a room instead of a tent I would recommend that.
My very first grow was on racks. (pic) And it was easy to access. And the results were pretty decent. But I had it in my mind that I "had to have a tent." I enjoy having control of the environment in the tent since the room is used daily. Its a single garage converted into a den. Maybe if I lose some furniture between now and next grow I wont have this problem anymore. rackgrow.jpg

Does anyone have a good method for reaching the back plants in your tent especially when they are scrogged? Im having to crawl under the trellis netting to water the far plants and the ole back is giving me fits. I have a 5 x 5 with access on only one side. Ive tried a pressured sprayer but couldn't measure the water right and it had too much pressure and I still had to lay on the ground. I thought about a funnel and a 5 foot piece of pex pipe. Thats the only other option I can think of.

Does anyone else have this problem or any alternative methods that would make this easier?
Get a two gallon piss pump( pump sprayer) and take the nozzle off. Makes it real easy. You can pump slow and water slow with it also.

I started with this drip kit and it worked well but I have refined my system over time. IMO Drip systems are one of the biggest game changers for growing cannabis and it doesnt cost very much at all to implement. Water your entire tent in 1 minute and free up time to focus on other aspects of growing.

That's a pretty economical kit. I like it. Simple but it works.

Come on over and water all 24 of my flower plants with that daily will ya.
Lol have your girl make me a sandwich and I got you. The one I got is about 2.5 gal/minute. Unless your automated you could mix up a drum or tote on wheels and be done in less than 10.

I’m just getting back to really checking this pic out. Wouldn’t it be nice to design our own Mylar shells? I’m just imagining slipping a tent canvas over that rack frame you have there.

I thought about doing that but I only used the racks for one grow. Now they store the massive amount of grow accessories Ive accumulated. I really miss the ease of using the racks. Fully adjustable, no heat no air flow issues...and NO ZIPPER. AC Infinity zippers have got to be the worse on the market. Our youngest son and his dogs are staying with us for a while and living in our den. His female pit has developed a taste for marijuana plants so in the tent they stay. Maybe the racks might be used again someday when the room "is mine" again.
