Had to mix a batch quick. It will be nice to not have to worry about that. They are drinking up the solo cups fast now. How many gallons did you put in that res Joey?

@Thejoeybrown
so the way I do it with watering is
allow the lines to run long enough to flood the top of the coco
usually about 1-2min depending on the pot size
then the water will evenly distribute throughout the entire pot

Nice, how long you think that will last you? With plants of different sizes you have to have some kind of regulators too huh. I set up a dripper system on my garden last year and I used the flag drippers that can be adjusted. Works pretty well. A few days after planting it hailed bad. I had to go out and scoop the ice out so my babies didn't freeze.lol

Yeah, I would take that too. Was just cleaning my garage and pouring sweat. Sweat running down the back of my ears and shit, makes me feel like bugs or something have to keep wiping it. Miserable. Inside now sitting right in front of the swamp cooler on full blast. Toke up!

How many gph are your drippers. Mine are 2 gph i got run off pretty quickly but they were just dribbles. Just curious

My manifold for distribution
the blue line is for dumping the res

if I wanted to I could use the pressure reg on the drip mani

the blue things are just basket stakes
just dispurse the flow evenly and diffuse it

Got ya. I love it bro. Ya I've already decided I'm going to upgrade the drippers a little. No biggie they're still cheap. I went with the cheapo ones to start because I didn't know what to expect. The flow and pressure is great just want a lil more even dispersment. I'm thinking it spread out and saturated the Coco just fine but it would make me feel better. Haha

that is why I have rock/hydroton mulch
it helps disperse the feed

I dont like trying to account for how much the 2gph dripper will actually flow
and they also get clogged super quick.....within a week or so with mineral nutrients

I see ya that's why I figured I would need something a little different. I also have a bag of hydroton (actually hydrocorn) maybe I should wash it up and add a top layer. I'm gonna do some searching tomorrow for a better dripper. Do you have a link for the ones you use? Or something similar? I can't really see in the picture and can compare with others
