Yes, I also use a shop vac. Right now, my plants are small so I have flipped a metal plant stand upside down in a bucket and put each plant on it to feed. When done I just dump the bucket but as they get bigger I will go back to my shop vac. It’s my first time watering that way, but it’s working well.

Check out the Bucket Head shop vac attachment.
That’s what I use when I run synthetic nutes.
It’s a sweet little device, plus it’s cheap.

It’s also for watering smalls. 1.5 oz = easy measure

Yeah, that kinda doesn’t work for five gallon pots.

I tried that but it was too painful for me, lol. Just took way to long. But I say whatever works for you, many trails leading to the watering hole.

I water everything in my grow with a turkey baster. From Solo cups to 5 gallon pots. It’s time consuming but it ensures I take my time watering and helps keep soil compaction down. It’s not how I’d expect others to water but it works for me. I usually use 4 -5 gallons a day during flower put down 2.5 ounces at a time.

Wow man, you got some patience. I am going through about 5 gallons a day in veg right now but don’t worry much about compaction of my coco. It holds up fine.

I’ve heard that the best ingredient for a garden is the gardeners shadow. I’d imagine you get quite familiar with them as they’re growing. The intentional slow cruise is very well received. Respect. Much love

5 gallons equals 640 ounces / 2.5 = 256 goes with the baster

Damn bro, that takes some patience!
I’d love to be able to do that, but I hardly have time to manage my larger grows as it is, lol.
I work 60+ hours a week. Can’t wait for things to slow down.
Gonna get a big winter grow going soon.

Yikes. I can’t even imagine watering my 27 plants 2.5 oz at a time. I would be there forever. Big props for having that kind of patience.

Lots of patience but I’ll bet his plants look great! All that time in the grow gives you a lot of time to spot and correct stuff before it’s a problem

I split watering into 2 days. I could be there for a good hour watering.
