@Prestige go to Menards and pick up rain bird products back in plumbing. They have everything you need from piping to a nifty timer waterer. Operates off of 2 batteries and uses no electricity. Hooks up to your standerd threaded hose bib. Timer is sky the limits you can set it up for whatever you wantShould that be all that I need?
Sweet! Much thanks!@Prestige go to Menards and pick up rain bird products back in plumbing. They have everything you need from piping to a nifty timer waterer.

That's not a bad idea.as far as feeding I do that all by hand
Wish I knew about the 1/2 gal emitters but that still wouldn't of solved the situation. Got the smallest RIO pumps,they still pump 200 gal per hr. Set up with 1 gal emitters did not work to well. At 15 min that still pumped 50 gal. .Well we will just say the bank didn't last to long. This thing from Orbit with a backflow set up is the ticket. Just picked up there flyer and that stuff is on sale. It's cheaper thru menards than anywhere else I looked. There is so many ways to dial that thing in.I got the 1 GPH emitters and the 1/2 GPH emitters and a ball valve to control flow.
So your only dripping water and feeding by hand? How has it been working for you?
It is rainbird product,one end attaches to your hose bib,in between is a backflow valve with an irrigation tube attachment on the end. You hook these up to that Orbit timer or directly to your hose bib. $18 Theirs each line is dead ended.Could you shoot a link to this back flow thing? Is it like a ball valve?
I was planning on using like a 40% concentration hydrogen peroxide for nasties. Sounds like hydrogen peroxide won't do much for me after all. So do you put bleach into your feed and whatnot? Like your gurls get bleach in their water? That sounds totally fkd up to me man lol. But at low doses, I can see it working. Does it harm them at all?
Tall and narrow could make use of the Blumat "maxi" model. It uses the same ceramic cone on a plastic tube so it senses moisture at a greater depth. Blumat brochures illustrate water "circles" for different dimensions. They also have "distributers" which are smaller drippers coming off the 3mm line. Those only work well with clear water, I've heard.Growing with 5/7 gallon pots indoors (tall and narrow pots & short and wide pots)... any idea how water dispersal would be and if blumat has anything to accommodate?
