I used those drip for my outdoor grow but indoor it got to be to much of a hassle. From connecting them all to some plants not getting the same amount of pressure to water so some plants weren’t getting fed the same. One might seem like it’s gonna work but I would just hold off if anything I could sell you call of my drips if you want to try it. It was just easier for me to hand water.Im planning on using these drip rings in flower.

I want to test them out before i upgrade the room a good amount. Once we double up flower (possibly over double) its really gonna be a pain to water that many plants by hand. My other option was to just connect a hose and watering wand to a water pump and still do it by hand but not have to go a plant at a time with a watering can. I like these ones over others ive seen because they have larger drip holes in them to hopefully minimize clogging which is always a concern with drip irrigation.
I dont think id go with an automated/timer to water them. More so just have a large tote or drum filled with water/nutes that ive made and flip the pump on when i need to feed. Using promix its usually every other day max even in peak veg/flower. I dont trust water pumps or timers enough to rely on them just yet either.
Maybe if i get into messing with arduinos where i can get a notification that they got watered since i work 40-50 hours a week and dont check on them every day. Also seen some moisture sensors that are made for the arduino. Wouldnt use them to measure how much water they were getting more so just that theyre getting water at all. So maybe if i can get that hooked up and knew what times theyre supposed to be watered i could check that the meter is reading or set it up to send me a notification. Because even if i set up an arduino to activate the pump at a given time just because it flips the relay doesnt mean its actually running. Theres probably a sensor you can hook up to tell if the pump is getting power but a moisture meter might work better in case of any clogs or other issues. Best case would be to have everything metered through the arduino so i could see any information i want. I have a few friends who are good with coding so i may have to hit them up. ive seen people make auto pH adjustment systems with arduinos so i feel what i want is fairly basic compared to that.
If i do ill definitely start a thread. Might just do it to see if anyone in the community could help out.
I used those for a drop system and

I can check how many I have but they are the ones pictured. I was only using like a 24 gallon bucket pretty small and I tried settin up all different kinds of ways to try to help the flow. The pump I forget what I was using but it was the same one for my outdoor. Check my YouTube channel yellowpenguins used them for my outdoor grow. But I bought thinking it would be easier for my indoor but after mixing all my nutes it was easier and faster to just grab a gallon bucket and hand wAter. But give it a shot I can check how many I have save you a lot of money buying new to try it out
Interesting, good lookin out...
Are you getting the thc tested?These are my bubba cookies at day 65. I'm just waiting for trichomes to Amber a little more and I'm chopping.
What a unique colorful flower. It seems it went through all the seasons- spring to winter. Very prettyThese are my bubba cookies at day 65. I'm just waiting for trichomes to Amber a little more and I'm chopping.
