A sink hose adapter runs $10-15 at any home improvement store and let's you connect a garden hose to a kitchen sink.
Quinclorac is the only thing I make sure to keep MSO on hand for...I bought this last in 2020, just about to run out now...$22. Not expensive at all.
I bought it online, but only because it was convenient to order it together with the triclopyr. I’ve seen people on YouTube just use dish soap, like Dawn. I’m sure it works just as well, maybe google it? I’m not really much of an expert either. This is what I bought though: Southern Ag Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) Surfactant (Quart - 32oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0149IA526/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YNJ4ECEF8MJR26XV75HG
You want “water soluble” humic acid. There are sooooo many options to choose from on Amazon, local mom and pop shops, etc etc etc. This is the stuff I usually buy. It’s currently out of stock, but for reference a 3-5 lb bag should last several years and should cost less than 20$. If it’s more, shop around. Just make sure it’s water soluble.
As for kelp, shopping a local plant nursery or grow shop would likely result in the best prices. I get mine from a local company that plants lots of trees and shrubs. I paid 55$ for 50lbs. I avoid liquid completely and go right tot he source of granular (don’t need mine watered down).
I only use humic acid and kelp for seedlings and clones. The rest of my grows I don’t use it at all since I’m usually in soil (all clones are completed in hydro). Not that it wouldn’t help, but it would work better in a dwc/rdwc or hydro. I follow the strict 5:2 ratio and ph accordingly.
A 1lb bag of each should go quite a long way.
I used to live in an apartment with a balcony garden and no outdoor spigot. I got an attachment to hook my hose up to my sink. This one worked for me: https://www.amazon.com/Claber-8583-Indoor-Faucet-Adapter/dp/B000BPFYG4/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=hose+to+sink+faucet+adapter&qid=1617160448&sprefix=hose+to&sr=8-6
HDX 1 gal. Economy Sprayer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KETC8YS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_GFrYFbP8KFQD9 i use one of these. I detatched the nozzle end and affixed a 1/2inch flex tube about 5ft long to the end. Put the hose end on the plant i want near the soil, pump for pressure, hold the trigger and wait.
I also have an automated watering system, but its 1/4th inch line and doesnt have the pressure to water more than 4 plants, so i attached valves. I keep them all closed and only open up 2 at a time for manual watering on runs more than 4 plants. Automated pump is below but i wouldnt suggest it for a 4x8 without having it pump into a gravity fed reservoir DIY Micro Automatic Drip... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0743F4532?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have used one of these to attach a garden hose to my kitchen sink to clean an apartment balcony, to great effect.

I can't say whether or not your particular faucet will work with this adapter, or that your faucet has enough flow for your pressure washer, though. If both of these are positive, then it can definitely work.
Anyone use this Teravita brand on Amazon? Supposedly it's 90% humic. Highly concentrated and low cost per application. Haven't tried it but I'm thinking about maybe buying some. I haven't found much else for less cost honestly. This humic thing is so new to me.
There is an adapter on amazon for about $15 that let’s you convert a regular sink to a hose hookup. I was looking at it today cause I’m considering upgrading my gear but don’t have a screw on: Claber 8583 Koala Indoor Faucet Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BPFYG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OR7HEbAY0EP7N
You mean this? https://www.amazon.ca/Philips-Master-3100K-GreenPower-Elite/dp/B00HXOJ1FG
That seems like a similar investment to the cheap 1200w LEDs I was looking at. Seems like it would get dependable yields as it's a brand name.
I mean.. I'm in an apartment lol. There is barely enough room for me let alone water barrels! I like the idea though. I ended up ordering a clamp thing from Amazon (Claber 8583 Koala Indoor Faucet Adapter https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000BPFYG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JbArDbCCE0QDB). It seems to be working! Just was difficult to figure out if it would fit the specific faucet before ording.
The conversion cables are rated for 30 amps.

It looks like you could use a claber koala

I have one to hook my counterflow chiller to my sink, and it works great. My only concern is that the aerator seems to extend down a bit.
For the sink adapter I use this I got mine at walmart. and go to home depot and get some Copper tubing you buy one this month and the other next month.
This is so easy, Get a Indoor Faucet Adapter Walmart sell's them also. Check out a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJDSP7MvBiA I have one and been using it for almost a year with no problems, Takes seconds to attach and use.
My c02 is "free" so it just fluctuates in there without my intervention-seen anywhere from 1000-2700ppm.
I am using a 315w lec system and I don't have a source for the specific information your looking for but here is a link for the bulb I am currently using. Philips 901575 Master GreenPower, Elite Agro CDM 3100K, 315-Watt https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HXOJ1FG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_HLbDxbD5ACV39
But in general LEC's are the shit for like every reason. Low power use, high light out put, FULL light output(varying amounts colors depending on bulb type) and they have pretty decent life span and you can extend them a lot more by dimming them. Mine cover a 3x3 area according to the manufacturer "sunplix"
I use a little portable sprayer if I know the trails are going to be muddy and I don't want to put the dirty bike in or on my car. The pressure is light so it won't damage anything, though I don't point it at any sensitive spots. Use a sponge for that.

This was me a month ago. Just get a solar powered pump http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L8GM8YG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01
You can find a solar fan pretty easy too. Skip all that other stuff with charge controllers, batteries, and inverters. I ended up going down that rabbit hole and yadyadayada now I'm powering the whole camp's lighting with solar.
Thanks for the speedy reply. I have two of these 1.8w pumps powering it (not using the little solar panels).
For the fan I'm using this 1.06 AMP one:
Lol. It's kind of a pain in the butt for me sometimes. Especially with native weather. Some days I want to fertilize but it just rains all day long. I think I've only gotten off schedule by about 4 days so far though. I've done much better this year as opposed to last year.
I use full strength Miracle Grow 24-8-16 every week which is really high %N. I also use this which will really push your plants if you're interested. Along with the high %N this will give you really big leaves and long internodes. I only have one tree that I don't fertilize like this, everything else is in a stage of development and needs the growth.
something like that may scare them away, then maybe look into a webcam security camera
