hi,
grodan advise to use 1/2gal/h (2liter/h) drip emitters with hugo.. (3%dose size) with 1 minute shots
you can go with 4l/h but with less flexibility ..
if you dont use a filter a 1000w good brand water pump should allow you to water everything (approx 5bar, 50meter of lifting capacity).. a 750w can be even be enough, i'm not sure
this kind

depend of what kind of pump you have under the hand
you will have to do a bit of trial to be sure it is powerful enough to feed every drippers
netafim pc drippers (one of the best brand) are opening between 0.75 to 4 bars of pressure .. the optimal pressure being 2bar
we are using the netafim PC junior 4liter/hour since years and they are great

be also sure to use the right tool to pierce the hoses and to insert the drippers.. or it will leak everywhere and be a headache
