Hey Stone, Whats up?

I use glass Pyrex baking dishes but my containers arent quite as big. Maybe you can find something similar only a bit bigger.

Also as chappie mentioned I ususally give just enough water to overflow a tiny bit. I pour about what I think is full, let them sit for a minute to allow the water to completely settle. Then I lean the hempy forward with the hold facing me to see how close the water is to overflowing. With practice you only lose a few drops of food/water per feeding.

Dr that's not a bad idea especially if I was still workin on my bucket, but me getting matching grommets and open female pieces, setting up tubing individually for both and then actually getting them all into my pots that i can barely move doesn't sound so great..

..and thanks Shady I think it has to do with my mix. I use the chunkiest perlite (size 4) some vermiculite and some coco chips and it drains really slow. I mean, I can still approximate but sometimes water is still tricklin or drizzling slowly out like 30-45 minutes later. But it's not that the trays are overflowing..the trays are just cheap and cracked. I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna get a super tub in an hour or so and lay a plank across the top of it to put my pots on.
