building a drip system need help..
ive been using ebb and flow tables and then switched to the ebb and gro bucket system for a while now.. the proble with the system is that the lines that the nutes go through have been getting clogged up and towards the end of blooming the ones in the back end up needing to be flushed out and its a big headache..
the whole point of this is for me to find the simplest hydro method for running around 36 pots.. the ebb and gro system has 3gal pots which ive been using to do 3k with 12 on each..
what i want to do now is use ebb and flow tables to create a drip system with..
i will be running 1000w for every 4x4 feet.. planning on having a res under the ebb and flow tables containing the nutes with a submersible pump pumping to the tops of the buckets which will contain hydroton.. i was hoping to find a ring to drip out of like the GH waterfarm recirculating systems but i was reading online and found a lot of people just having a single line ran to a bunch of plants just dripping evenly 24/7..
my questions are this:
1. which size buckets should i use to do it with to put 12 plants under each 1k
2. is hydroton the best medium to use?
3. any specific pumps, drip lines, and ring equipment to use?
4. can i drip 24/7?
5. is this the simplest way to run a drip system.. ( i was going to use the gh drip systems but since i want to run 36 its such a hastle to change teh nutes from each bucket like that and also the control unit for that system only runs 8 so thats another problem.. what do you guys think?esc0bar Reviewed by esc0bar on . building a drip system need help.. ive been using ebb and flow tables and then switched to the ebb and gro bucket system for a while now.. the proble with the system is that the lines that the nutes go through have been getting clogged up and towards the end of blooming the ones in the back end up needing to be flushed out and its a big headache.. the whole point of this is for me to find the simplest hydro method for running around 36 pots.. the ebb and gro system has 3gal pots which ive been using to do 3k with 12 on Rating: 5
