Watering my SCROG

This is my first attempt at scrogging. I built a scrog net out of pvc to fit in my 4 x 4 tent in which I have total access in the front and partial access on the two sides. I plan on 4 plants and watering the 2 buckets in the back are a problem because there is not enough room to get underneath the net to water because the sides are higher up from the floor than the front. I was thinking about a bucket with a hose attached and a valve to stop the flow. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A funnel with a piece of hose attached?

The funnel hose sounds good

Also remember you have to get the drainage out of your drip trays too. Home Depot sells a vac called bucket head. Fits on top of a 5 gal bucket. It could help you with your drainage.

Large tote a cheap water pump, some hose and irrigation lines, fifteen minute timer. Leave the tote outside of the tent if possible.
Not expensive to diy and simple to do.

Thanks for the replies but I don't have a problem with drainage. The plant buckets sit in a botanicare 4x4x6" tub that I have on a slight incline so all the water drains to a hole that drips into a bucket. So I don't need a vacuum or a pump or drip trays.

have a water pump?...in a 5 gallon bucket .....use a water pump and some 1\2 tubing ....plug that into a power strip with a on off switch and... bam!

Maybe you could drill some holes every few inches in some clear pvc (dishwasher drain hose) and coil it around the surface of the bucket then attach that hose to a funnel. Just make sure you anchor the hose well in the bucket. This way though when you water though, it doesn't always pool in the same spot and potentially give you rot or other issues.

I think I've found a solution. I can use these drip rings and attach a 1/2" tube so it's accessible and attach a funnel for a gravity feed. I may use them on all four buckets.

Since I use Air-Pots the rings will probably help with slow, even watering.

Will work fine.
