4 pieces of wood and treys set at an angle so the water will drain to the front of the pan, then use a battery operated pump to remove the water.

I was thinking just pull the tray out, easier than the way I’ve been doing it, lifting pot out of tray, putting on a towel, dump tray out, wipe off with paper towels and put the plant back on tray. These plants are heavy when they’re wet, your idea even without the box is going to save me A LOT of Pain. Thank you
And yes, spy on you, I do seem to get around, don’t I.

Debbie-
I use what we used to call pipe cleaners to train with. I got a big pack at dollar general for $1.00! Each one is about a foot long and they are very gentle on the plants. You can have one end around the plant and if you poke a hole at the top of your fabric pots you cant tie them to the side. Good luck! Peace…

Another thing folks do is set a refrigerator rack or freezer rack (grate) on some brick or something enough to raise the plant up enough to get a trey up under it.

@Nicky what then?
Well your grow lights are on so… Cant fully see.
Pictures need to be uploaded with grow lights off flash on, this is soooooo important.
This is soil right? Did you do a slurry test?
Looks like low nitrogen and ph issues, of which ide want to fix the PH first.

@Nicky well I’m not sure how it could be pH when I’m using pH perfect, and a few advanced nutrients additives, so prolly nitrogen, the medium is mother earth 70 30 coco perlite mix

Plant looks pretty good, forgot your in coco so soil slurry isn’t needed.
2nd picture looks a little light green so it’s a bit more hungry wants some more nitrogen.
With the better quality pictures I take back the PH comment.
How do they look from the side/angle? Are the leafs clawing down or twisting at all?
Clawing can be from nitrogen overload but your plants are not dark enough for that, while twisting can be PH issues as well as you see the cells in the leaf start to take on their own shade differently from the leaf as a whole.
All in all ide say give it a full feed.
Read what’s going in and what’s coming out, if your PH coming out is significantly different than what’s going in them you want to flush and then feed. Always feed 5.8 ph it’s the generalized sweet spot unless in soil.
Ensure 20% run off each time you water or feed, but you should be feeding every time, this will avoid salt up and ph issues causing nutrient lockouts.
@Nicky here’s a side view and no clawing, it’s this only plant out of 12 doing it!!
