Well on my dripper system I let it run all the time. Who told you to run for 15 mins every three hours? Different systems run different ways but that just doesn't seem like enough time to me.

Can you post a photo? I'm not sure I am familiar with your system......don't recognize the name wilma....

yeah you can flower under a 400HPS
I would have left out the bat guano .I used it in soil but for coco running a drip like you have, that's a HYDRO setup and more practical to mix your ferts to be watered in, dripping 10% to waste... like if you water with 10L fert mix, you should have a runoff tray that contains 1L of runoff.

i drip my coco for about 2 minutes with 4 GPH drippers twice a day and they are kicking ass.

i will post the pics of my girls when i get my digi cam back off my mate the dripper system im useing is an atami wilma 10 pot dripper system im useing only canna coco as the medium and was told by a friend to do the 15min on every 3 houre then he said to do 15 min on every 2 houre when they get bigger sound this for weed hound
