I started with a pipe system, on time 3-5 min. off time 30-120 min.
this will change as the roots get bigger. Do not veg very long or the roots will fill the pipes slowing the drain back time and possibly flood during feeding if on to long?

I quit useing this system because of these reasons and because it was a nightmare to remove roots and clean things up for the next run

GOOD LUCK

4 spray emitters out of my pipe system,and GH 3 part, following Latewoods legacy in flower but GHs for veg.
for a limited space the pipe system is a good producer:thumbsup:, the big draw back is if you need to remove a plant its roots are tangled with the other plants. so its not good for non-feminized seeds,can't cull the males

Roots will go wherever the can fit to find more food to grow bigger. let me see if I can find a pic of a rootball from a bucket.

Yup found it. That is the bottom of a Walmart bag filled with a rootball from a 13 week plant started from clone. Probably weighed a good 3 lbs.
