What method do you use to manage the run off for the coco coir?

I am looking at the 32x32 tent with 2-4 auto plants in coco coir in 3 gallon fabric pots for it. I have read of a few different methods to manage the runoff when you hand water the plants and I am looking for recommendations on which one you think is the best and easiest on there for it.

Which method do you use to manage the run off for the coco coir on there for it?

Thanks. How loud is that in the tent on there for it?

If you were talking to me, it's a vacuum...it's loud.

Get this one if you want quiet, lol!

I run this on a timer when not at home for drainage. When I am home I do it manually with this pump.
When running on the timer it runs every second day to empty to 10% of the drainage container, looking at purchasing a pump that gets complete drainage.
Have also considered putting the pump on float system.

Thanks. I think I may try hand watering and pump the runoff water out with a hand pump for now on there for it.

+1 for the condensate pump.

Or buy a float switch and make one for even cheaper with a more powerful pump.

Thanks. I may try the pump in the future though for now I do not want to have the pump in the tent on there for it.

Your best bet is a shop vac man. The bucket head is probably the cheapest option. I use it and it's very handy to have. Goes on a home depot bucket, its loud but your using it for 5 minutes max? Good luck
