This, right here:






Yes, IV food/saline delivery bags. The exact ones evvvvery hospital uses. Simple. Google.
They hold 1 liter and can be easily set to drip as slowly as desired.
So much better than all the nutes/water draining down the side of the pot.
Soil growers know what I mean....(maybe)
Ehh...idea there for y'all...they work GREAT for me....
Happy harvests!

I knew there had to be an easy way to provide a drip system without an expensive pump for the sprinkler attachments...

I never would've thought of this.

Thanks so much for posting!

Hey guys, on a more readily available and accessable idea, how about enema bags??? Same thing, a lot tougher and reusable for years. and you can adjust the flow rate! LOL!

Another great solution to a common problem....By another stoner.

I will be incorporating a similar method, soon. What a back-saver. I'm thinking of using 2 litre soda bottles. Then, I can refill them with my watering-can extension.

LOL!

you could also use a bucket with lid or a canister, drill a hole into the bottom, silcone glue a plug with hose nose in, fix a hose with zip ties to that, couple of Y-connectors - multiple plants taken care off. well, if you add a roll lock to regulated the flow and add drip tips this will be pretty perfect and last for several days. just if you can't find IV bags

Only problem I have with the whole idea is take a look where that dripper is feeding that plant (in the pic) in the first post. Seems to me it would be better to have it further away from the stem? Maybe not?
