I could plumb it to the drain... Yup that sounds good
I could plumb it to the drain... Yup that sounds goodYeah I would definitely go with some sort of self dumping system for run off bro, since switching to coco it has been my biggest problem, been using a 20L shop vac but it just filled too quickly and ended up being quite some labour, had to adapt it to self dump even then its not the solution ive been looking for
Fuck that sounds like a good idea. Sit back and watch them grow at that pointI could plumb it to the drain... Yup that sounds good
Yeah yeah bro drain is about 20 ft away.Fuck that sounds like a good idea. Sit back and watch them grow at that point

Haha hell no I'm far to ocd for that... Now where them dirt plants you promised meBro you can be like me. I plumbed all my rooms for condensate pumps a year ago. Still don't have the pumps. Still haven't finished the plumbing, Soon™ At least I did veg so I don't look too bad

#subscribedOh it's coming. Im back Wed and im gonna throw a mom outside in some untested soil I havent used before. Should be loads of fun.
I bet it could you will have to build a manifold it’s just plumbing pvc pipe . I’d love to see what you come up with this thread has given me the idea to plum up my drain to waste tank again .
Very inspiring thread! Thanks all! Im reading around about automated drip system...
Chemcris do you think that your loop system could be made bigger for like 60sh plants?It looks very neat!

Thanks guys! For what im undertanding to go bigger seems necessary a pressure regulator before of those umberellas to ensure an even flow right?
To check if the flow is even i was immagining to put a solo cup to each dripper and cotrol how much water i get, correct?
full loop all the way. you can also check out the octa-bubbler. i can send you a link if you need. i have my set up with octa-bubbler with the halo rain dripYup why I asked. Awesome bro I appreciate it
Nice anyone have experience with these?full loop all the way. you can also check out the octa-bubbler. i can send you a link if you need. i have my set up with octa-bubbler with the halo rain drip
I like the Rainbird free flow manifolds
We use the 6 port free flow ones (1/2in threaded)
Alt Part# MANIFRE6S (sell them on amazon)
Here are some of the other

You will want a timer that will go down to seconds. One's Ive been using are (also amazon special)

Other setup is just simple cheap PVC elbows, T's, and 90's. You can choose to go tubing but honestly its more expensive. I like soaking all of it in bleach after a run so why I like the pvc.
For 6-8 plants I would go pvc square with 2 - 4 ports unless you ever want to run more. Then I would go to the 6's or how many you will need for 2 drippers a plant.
Your basic parts list is:
1 - 1/2 schedule 40 pvc
5 - 1/2 90's slip
1 - 1/2 T slip
1 - 1/2 in slip to 3/4 threaded female (see below)
1 - 3/4 barb to 3/4 thread (you can go 1/2 here I run 3/4 to the pump since im running 17 plants off 1 loop)
2 - 1/2 T slip to threaded female on top (or however many manifolds you running)
2 - 1/2 threaded sprinker risers (sprinkler isle at hardware store. a little taller then your pot or how many manifolds you running)
1- roll of 1/4 drip line
choice of drip stakes (no thx) or 1/4 drip line supports
Glue, primer, and pvc cutter
Just a side note If running 2 drippers per plants and running 8 plants i would use the ecoplus 710 gph bottom draws. It might be overkill for this but that will secure even watering to all the sites. What I use for my 17 single drippers.
That is the setup I use for 4x4's

edit: parts a little different in this list since I used a 90 elbow to barb and used a strait male adapter in that pic
Not really a fan of flood and drain but I do know some ppl grow great plants with them. Personally I will likel always be top feed or pure hydro. Just feel they add more challenges, not that they can't be fairly easily overcome.You should do a room with auto pots system.
