Modified NFT System to Drip Help!!

[dialtone420]

My friend just got a NFT system and it has two hoses running down a gutter right. Well two measly tubes on one side of a gutter seemed a little weak. So we went to home depot and made rings that would sit around the top of each plant. The system is at www.ezhydrokit.com "The six pack". Not to give credit but awsome setup. Clones in rockwool with olivia's Solution. 90%humidity,80 degrees.
1.Anyway, we got a another water pump and were wondering what does the digital timer need to be set at. Intervals, length, Ph of water is 5.5 right. The orginal pump is 84 gph but tiny, petsmart one is 75 and twice as big.
2. So do you think my modified water circles will work and is this a drip system now?

i don't think the added water tubes will be necc. becareful you don't over water or keep the stem of the plant moist at all times.. this can lead to mold and stem rought.. yikes...


can you post a pic?

Here is a picture of what i meant i need to know the watering cycle. for this type of setup

With this system, algea is a given. Should i cutout some holes in a sheet of highly reflective material and lay it on top of net pots? I could also tape up any light leaks in the resevoir. Or does light even mater because i need to change the small resevoir so much and test it for nute levels? Im freaking out!

becarefull setting the rockwool cube so low in the net with so many rocks around it... All that water on your stem can cause stem rought... keep a close eye on the stem..

That sounds like a great system. from what I here the drip is supposed to be the best and that looks like a great system. I can't help with your problems but Zandor sounds like he is pro #1 grower or maybe del could help from what I hear he is the man to. SMOKE CHRONIC AND PROSPER
