Plant stand

[KnowTheGrow]

Hey errbody,
So, I've got a few successful grows under my belt now and I've noticed one major flaw in my setup, plant stands. I've been using some old shelving racks that were laying around but they're only 3ft long in my 4ft tent. Anyone have any ideas to maximize my grow space? Examples other people use? If hate to leave em just sitting on the floor after being watered.

Thanks

If you have a tall tent or short plants you can use milk crates. Not sure if you can still get them easy, but I have alot of them. They work great. I also have used premade shelves that you could adjust the height but those were not cheap.

If you dont want to spend money just be creative.

Small totes and cut the wire shelving down.

 

[Redwasp]

Looks like a great idea Mr.furley There are so many ways to do it. Just have to use your imagination

 

[Mr.furley]

Thanks Redwasp. There are so many possibilities especially in thrift stores.

I’m using my dogs xlarge fold up cage bottom, and 2” plastic outside shelving for drainage custom cut to fit the cage bottom.
But plastic milk crates can b cut down to any height and make a fine instrument to allow air under smart pots and for drainage
as well 😎

Nice, I like those ideas. Thanks

I was planning to do something simar, but with wooden slats. Instead of chicken wire. Please tag me in your project, would love to see it.

 

[DrPhoton]

Yea i was thinking of doing this also, finding the grates however was difficult where i am. I have just built my frame with the wooden slats going on tomorrow. Then at a later date i plan to fix a 3.5x3.5 tray under the table, where i can have a pump system draining the tray.

 

[Redwasp]

Yes I have been trying to come up with a better self draining system for multiple tents that would go straight to the sump pump. Any way to make it quicker and easier.

I'm with Potted, they'd been many a plant grown on top of milk crates, they just so easy to use. HappyGrowing! !!

The spacings shouldnt matter, many pots have restricted bottoms with holes. The water will still evenly flow through the medium if applied correctly. Even at the bottom.
