Hmmm where do I get a timer that goes on for 15 and off for 45? Or what is that kind called?
texashustle Reviewed by texashustle on . Help with hydro drip system I made my own drip system. Should I just let the water free flow onto the roots out of the 1/4 inch tubing or should I install drippers on the ends and let it drip onto them? The water is flowing out of little nozzles right now so its close to full power, its more like a constant even trickle. I think it looks great but scared of over watering. What do you guys think? Install drips or just keep the constant trickle? Thanks! Rating: 5
