building a drip system need help..

[SpaceNeedle]

If you decide on the drip, and run the 1/2" hose around and branch off with the 1/4" lines to each pot, you may not need a 500 gph pump. Depending on how many feeders you are running. I have 15 girls in the tray, and I have lots of pressure, you may be able to get away with a lesser pump even if you have 15..... lesser pump for sure if you have less. At the end of the 1/2" line, I have a valve that I can open to release some of the pressure on the system if I need it. If you only have six 1/4" feeders, you can prolly get away with 250 gph pump.

what do you guys think about using ebb and flow tables with these 2gal pots filled with hydroton

either just use it as an ebb and flow or i was thinking abouthooking up the 500 gph pump to the 1/2 inch tubing around and then running 1/4'' tubing to each one of the plants and just having them running straight up no drip or anything..

with both systems i will be needing to put 30gal rez's under each table.. ebb and flow will need the whole 30 but im hoping if i do the drip one it wil use much less.. tell me what ya think

I wish I would have thought of that when I was doing drip, that's a great idea.
