I run a 20 plant dripper system, With rockwool 3" cubes in clay balls, i leave the dripper running 24hrs and the plants thrive, to be honest the tank below the pots is full of roots, so it don't make much difference if the pump is on or off! but with it running it keeps the nutes circulating and gets some air into it
FatBud Reviewed by FatBud on . What's a good flow rate (gph) for drippers? I'm building a drip system with 5" netpots. Was gonna go bigger (use 2 gallon pots) but didn't due to increased cost of whole system -- the 2 gallon pots, 8 times the amount of Hydroton, more drippers, bigger pump to run all those drippers........... Anyway, does anyone know how many drip emitters I'd need to go on each 5" netpot, and what a good flow rate is for a drip emitter? Like that won't clog often. I'm looking for the smallest flow rate that won't clog often and will keep 'em wet Rating: 5
