Hello guys

few days ago I asked for runoff possible solutions, and after hearing all the ideas and analyzing the stuff that I had at home, I came up with this idea:

Bought 4 pot plates, drilled them with a 5mm drill, and then glued the 5mm microtube (wich is the same that the water come to the irrigators) on the plates, then after some connections the microtube go to a hole in the wall and the runoff disappears. I had to also level up my pots with bricks because the hole in the wall is 10cm up, so gravity have to do its job.

After finishing I tested and it runs like a charm, now I dont have runoff sitting on the grow and keeping the growroom dry will be way easier.

Here is a pic:

This plants are actually from low quality buds that I bought on the street, so Im just testing my setup before I use some high quality seeds.

My next step will be to buy a bluetooth irrigator on amazon, so I can schedule the water and the light.
I was thinking about like this: https://www.amazon.com/RAINPOINT-Sprinkler-Timer-Bluetooth/dp/B087P3M4MM?th=1

I also want to say thanks for the help

This a smaller version my flowering run off gets dealt with in the same way only the capillary matt drains it into a jug instead of a saucer.

It's only a temporary measure for now.
