What kind of drip ?

Are the one gallon pots draining right back to the rez ? gravity ?

We do drip in a ten gallon tub or 5 gallon buckets. Self contained and not part of a bigger sytem all hooked together. Each unit has a small pump that takes care of six drip lines in each tub or one dip ring in a bucket.

The drip is really only needed to get the roots to go down to the water. If need or power outage the roots are fine in the rez water. So from there it is what ever you want. On some we turned it off all together when the roots hit the rez. The strain did not like water on the main rootball.

Now if you drip back to a rez and the pot does not hold nutes then you must water alot more frequent.

The main thing I see with drip is not to have the drip line right on the plant. Either move the plant to the side of the pot or move the drip line to the side. Make the plant go after the water they thrive for this. And you won't have rot or fungus problems either.
