Best Ways to Get Water around a Larger Grow Op

Hi guys. After some advice/tips on the easiest, fastest and safest ways to set transport water around a grow room to 20 or so plants in pots with soil. I have been growing for a while now, normally only up to a max of 10 plants per grow op, however this time i'm growing 20 and my work has suddenly increased every couple of days dramatically. This mostly comes down to the way I water, normally by a garden hose or jug (when I'm adding fertilizer). Because my plants are sitting on the floor and space is already taken by the plants watering is a *%&$#!
For my next grow op I wanted to have some type of sprinkler system which could easily be connected to a garden hose and deliver water to all plants at the same time, then I would only need to use the jug with fertilizer manually (as I only grow organic).
Any suggestions or advice???? Cheers!;-)

Na, too many variables with hydro too many things can go wrong. Also its not organic and the yield is a lot lower. cheers anyway

It's a bit ghetto but, I use a 5 gallon bucket on a hand cart. fill it up and mix my stuff take it over to the plants and drop a water pump with a hose in the bucket and water away. I just kink it when i dont need water or pull the pump above the water line. using the same pump for 3 years now.

you can easily build a sprinkler/ drip system out of parts from home depot. If your handy make it so you can connect a hose/pump to the end of it so you can add your nutes too. I made one for about 30 bucks. you'll need 1/2" drip line as the main line then 1/4" to go to each pot and drippers for each pot. then get a pump and either a garbage can or some kinda of resivior, to mix water or nutes in and plug that bitch in and away you go

how is hydro not organic? if all you use is water and organic nutes?
your way wrong about yield so not even going there

but as for easy watering drip system would be your best bet. or just have 50 gallon barrels for each set of 10 plants and have a pump and hose from that.

I'd get 6 20 gallon rubbermaids. Drop airstones in them. Fill with water. How to get the water to the reservoirs..? Get 5 gallon buckets, fill em in your sink and haul em to the rubbermaids. Shhhzzam

I have a 32 gallon garbage can in my room. I run a hose from my sink and fill it up. Then I use 5 gallon buckets and just bring that straight over to the tent. Then I use a watering can out of that. When I mix nutes I use a styrofoam cup marked with a line at the correct amount and just make it in 5 gallon batches. I don't use an aerator or anything. I fill the garbage can like once a week.
