Raising Plants from Water Trays

Post by SmokeyJoe »

Hey Guys

Can i ask what you guys use to raise you plants away from the water trays to enable you to easily remove excess water.

Im having issue with a couple of plants that are effectively drinking the drain water and its obviously not helping them.

Im thinking like a piece of wood either side and some kind of mesh for the plants to site on, then i can easily move out the trays to empty them.

I only have a 1m Square tent.

Any advice appreciated.

I use Garland trays with a slight angle on them so the run off goes to one end. And then have a couple wooden strips across the tray for the plants to sit on like a ladder almost

Always a good idea to make sure your plants arent drinking run off as ya say mate

Careful Viz I have had a few plants where roots have reached way below the bottom of the airpots looking for some drink, I use much smaller trays for each individual plant so late in flower when they a drinking alot the run off can build up to a couple of inches in height after a single feed so even raising a further inch would give you a much bigger safety net but thats probably more the way I'm set up but i have seen roots searching below

I've used these before with good results...



I got mine from Home Bargains, but plenty of places sell them.
