I grow in soil but i thought maybe the water part of this would make more sense in the hydro category? I have a system going that really works for me and im trying to automate or atleast help with the watering of the girls... i bought a irrigation system from amazon for 25$ with 17 heads... i connect the system to the layout i have and hook it up to a 300/GPH pump and it just comes out the head like a lil flow... not spraying like it should... they are 360 sprayers and its just a fast drip not even solid flow... the hose is 1/4 to a garden hose attachment to the pump... will buying a larger pump fix this problem? or is there a max flow rate that is allowed from that 1/4 hose... i cant imagine the 300 /gph pump is meeting the max for the line? any help is appreciated.... thanks
I hooked up a 1000 gph pump it was no better... I'm going to try and run PVC then hook individual lines per plant... more worried if u got a batch of hermies now though....
are the drip heads regulated? the GPH heads suck in my opinion. I went with 1/4" T's and Couplers... straight through. hose is about 6' long w/2' vertical. 6 x 1/4" on a 210 GPH and it cranks out with no interruption. when I went to 16 x 1/4" I had to upgrade the pump. hope this helps.
