I’m looking for a flood tray that will fit a 3x3 tent (spider farmer, 36” between poles) for a drain to waste system.
The most obvious option I can find is the active air low rise trays. They could be shaved down to fit, but would fill the tent edge to edge. Something a little smaller would be preferred.
Read somewhere about someone using a washer/dryer drain pan… these look like a good choice.
Really interested in what other people have come across
Maybe you’ve been down this path before, but I’ve grown top drip dtw in tents with trays for a bit.
Rather than going through what you are, I simply downsize the tray/stand by one size. It’s so much easier to deal with, and if you go one size smaller you end up with only 6” of space around the edge. Push your plants to the edge of your tray and they quickly fill in that empty space with canopy growth and you aren’t losing out on anything.
Just a comment that the pic in my thread shows the grate covering most of the tray…… it’s really best if you break them down to the approximate size of your containers. That way you get the benefit of the bit of extra drainage, but it’s also the only way to be able to keep your tray clean of the little pieces of crap that ultimately fall down there. Good luck!
