I have to call BS here, I have forgot to turn mine back on after a cleaning of the emitters for over a day. sure they wilted a little but because there is always a 1" or so of liquid in the buckets.they come right back.
I only run my pumps for 3 min ON and 40-60 min OFF, early on and 60-120 OFF late in flower because of all the roots in a 5 gal bucket system.
If you doubt what I say do a search of my posts and see what I am talking about.NO PHOTOSHOP HERE
