New grower here. My husband is not. But I am. Am reaching out with some advice so far I have most everything we just have to set up indoor plants soil my question is what can I use to catch my water underneath my plants don't want my Floor to get wet any suggestions

Welcome. So are you trying to show him up, lol? Cause if so you came to the right place.

You just need some saucers for now.

You can use anything. Plant saucers would be a start.

Go to dollar tree. They have all sorts of plastic stuff that can be used as a catch.

yes well in the growers scene there is a solution to all your problems, just raise the money and you can have it all

Also remember to get something to raise the pot(s) up out of the tray...can cause problems if plants can't get proper air flow.

These look kinda cool, but I haven't tried them.

Place at least a tarp down to catch the inevitable overflow.

Tupperware in a pinch....lol
Anything bigger than pot that will hold water, usually plastic.

Get a few of these. They are cheaper than saucers, and the built in grooves give runoff and airflow so u don't need to elevate the pots. Can find them pretty much anywhere but I like this brand a lot bc the grooves are irregular and the quality of the plastic is better. Most of the ones u find are just straight line grooves and cheaper plastic.

Lots of uses for them. I can fit like a dozen solo cups, or four 1gal, or two 2gal etc.

Probably more than want to do but an Ice-Fishing that has a hard plastic clam-shell floor catches all the water.
I have mine up on sawhorse stands with custom humidifier floor intakes and filtered exhaust lined with mylar; better than grow tents.
The height is limited so I train/scrog my grows and get lots.

The HD green saucers rock imo. Not too pricey and very durable. Buy ones where the saucer base is about 2in bigger than the bags or pots

I use what I have available. My wife saves me random lids and stuff (my apologies for picture quality):



When I had to move because of forest fire, all of my cabins each had a dish drain board, so I've tossed them into rotation too (you can purchase these for a couple dollars at any dollar store):



I clean whatever I'm using after each harvest. I only water until I get very slight runoff, so there's never any stagnant water laying in the bottom of the pot. What does run off, is slurped back into the medium within a few minutes.
