What is the best watering can?

Now here’s an exciting topic! Looking for something with a long reach that’s easy to use and doesn’t spill all over the place. The nursery and box store ones all seem to suck.

This interests me too, for real, i use an old classic one, but have to be very careful, a lot of spillage.

Guys. You need a chapin 1949. Its a concrete sprayer so no worries of little particles clogging. Plus you can get tips for it to use as a foliar too!

Maybe it’s the translation but you make my day with this portion ^^ Blame the sweet tooth, not me lol

Cheap thing for people with twos left hands :

This type of jerrican with a cord to put it in one shoulder :

any pipe that fit the diameter :

and a nozzle that can be regulated like this, remove the “muzzle” to just let the tube, the cheaper the better :

The gravity is enough to pull out the water, and enough slow to perfectly water the plants without tsunami and “over drain”.

That is a great deal man! WOW.

Even tho i got some solo sprayer bottles and they kina do the same, i was thinking more of a watering can with no pump.

Yeah man you can beat the chapin 1949. I dont have one cuz its 161 in canada. And i cant spend 200 bucks on a watering canXD not yet atleast. Even though 200 is worth it because its a lifetime lasting product. And for fucking 15 right now… wtf… slightly pissed😉

My old setup, when I had high ceilings, just involved a 5-gallon (~20 liter) jug of water on top of my grow box, with 5mm tubing attached and a valve at the end. Tiny hose, but it worked and I paid nothing for it :slight_smile:

Now, I only use a watering can when I need it to get around training wires. In that case, standard plastic long-neck with 2 liter capacity. For untrained plants, I just use a pyrex beaker for watering/feeding.

Ok, let’s see if/when I actually get it. I’m ghetto, I use a plastic soda bottle with a bunch of 1/16" holes drilled in the cap. :laughing: :moneybag:

That $15 Amazon price is definitely a mistake. I ordered one anyway just to see if it would come. We used to buy those at work. They were almost $200 each!

I bought one too, just to see what happens… LOL

Ok this will kill you guys spending money on cans, I use the long extensions from a Sears shop vacuum three of them together reaches the furthest plant. I also don’t get the water all over just put the extensions where I need it and pour away. Move on to the next plant/ bucket
