This is a problem I could use ideas for

[skullcandy]

Hello I use a grow tent and I flush the plants in there plus when I water I give it enough water that it comes out the bottom of the container I use an I then have to soak it up to remove it from the tent floor my issue is it stays under the pot for a long time I have to lift one side to get the water out from underneath, I’m looking for an idea that will elevate the pot so I can just wipe clean instead of having to lift it to get what’s trapped underneath? I thought egg crates but I still can’t get underneath that so I need suggestions. Any ideas for this

Put your pot on this

With a catch pan underneath.

I have some of those. The plastic on mine is too flimsy to support the weight of the pot. I like spunoms solution. I have used cooling racks sitting on top of drip pans in the past. I then use a sponge to soak up the excess water without having to lift the pot up.

I use these plant elevators……in a saucer for easy cleanup.

I wound up buying cake cooling racks round 10 inch or so from amazon and they were cheap

Keep it Simple man... Find some plastic drip trays to set your pots in, when you water, stop over watering so much. No reason for it, Flush them in a tub, but really no reason to if you feed correctly and not over feed. plants can only take up so much nutrients.. much of which is in the soil you buy.. it's more about using the correct nutrients at the correct time.

Drip trays will catch the excess and then as the plant dries a bit it will such it up..

If your set in your ways... invest in a large turkey baster to remove the fluids.. muwahahaha

I've just used pot saucers, like these, for years. Works perfectly. Those aren't the ones I have but, same idea. Really all you need.

I see this is old news at this point though...

What ever comes in these crates ,I would want to be the owner of what ever company it is.
If you need these crates to ship your **** EVERY ONE IN THE WORLD has stolen one.
They found 37 on top of the Himalayan mountains . Dr Field Marshal Idia Amin had 90

I use the tops of storage containers to set plants in. Plenty room with a lip.
Something like this lid.

Or this. Just take the lid and flip it upside down.

These are the actual saucers I use. They're really good. Going on 8 years since I bought them and they're still in perfect shape. Other than the one I ran over with my power wheelchair, and that one is still perfectly usable.

Of course, one of these is the ultimate step in protecting the bottom of the tent and being able to control water overflow in there. I put them in my tents shortly after setting them up. Down to one tent now but, that's beside the point. Can't imagine not having it.

's inserted!
