A steady level is best. The diaphragm in the carrots work be head pressure. If it is steady it’s easier to keep everything dialed in.The height you keep your reservoir will be the factor for flow.
I would try to keep the res as high as possible and even then, keep the level of water pretty even.
Less water equals less weight equals slower flow..
A simple float valve would keep your res full all of the time.
Its been about 2 1/2 weeks since my last update. Now in week 5 of flower. I had surgery right after my last update and haven’t been tending to my plants the way I normally would. The Runtz which is in the front right is basically dead. Will likely pull it. Im not sure if it was a watering issue or a rootzone/bacterial issue. Due to ny schedule have been foliar spraying Trifecta during lights on, as that was the only time I could do it. The Bubba Kush (front left) started going on me, but I think I got her back on track. Grape Cream Cake (Center front) has some damage from light burn and likely lights on foliar spray. OG Kush (Back left and back right) and Grape Gas (back center) are all doing decently well given the neglect. Here are a few pics:

Heres a shot of the veg room. SFV OG, MB15, Gelato 33, and Trop Banana are growing way fast. Going to have to trim them back to contain them until the flower tent opens up. The clones in the bottom right are finally starting to green up a bit too. Obviously look this during lights off, and they are a bit droopy looking. Mostly healthy however.

I hope you all are staying well!!!
I've read that a good surfactant can minimize leaf burn when spraying with lights on. I use natural yucca powder, I've sprayed many times with lights on, 1' away from lights. No burn.It’s been a couple more weeks, and I just haven’t had the time or ability to tend to my grow the way I would like. Because I’ve had to treat the aphids with trifecta lights on, I’ve caused some burning of the leaves, but not much I could do. Trying to ride this out for the next couple weeks and get these harvested.
Here are some shots of the flower tent:

I’m trying really hard to contain the veg room until I can get these into the flower tent. Some smaller clones in the front are yellowing and I need to uppot them. I just don’t have the room right now.

Thanks for the advice @Madmax. Will look into adding the green light. The flower tent has about a week or two left then I’ll give it a clean and reset everything, then those monsters in the veg room will go into flower. Will keep a mom of the few strains I like best, but plan on popping those mac dragons as soon as I get them. Cant wait to run those.Looking good in here Nesta.try a green light straight after lights out if you can.its a pita when plants get big to to this ..maybe add it to your regime in veg for prevention..your gear looks dank.that bud in post 69 has similarities to the mac dragon with the purple hues..looks gorgeous
A friend gave me some alien Mac dragon, I'm running those next as well. I'm psychedThanks for the advice @Madmax. Will look into adding the green light.

Gorgeous! Awesome purplingWell, I an underwhelming return to growing, but I had a ton of fun and learned a lot. I harvested my 2 OGs, Bubba, Grape Gas and Grape Cream Cake today at 63 days. Shockingly they all were ready to come down. Tomorrow I will be cleaning and prepping the tent for my SFV OG, Motorbreath 15, Trop Banana, and Gelato 33. Will start a new thread to document that run. Thank you all for your help and support along the way. I’m looking forward to better results on the next run!
