Hi all, I plan to do a closet grow, 4 weeks veg, 4 weeks 1st flower, 4 weeks 2nd flower with a 3 stage system, 4 plants at each stage at all times (12 total, sometimes sixteen, to get a few extra weeks vegetative growth in).

The veg stage will be 4 plants under a 250W MH, the flower stage will be 8 plants under a 600W HPS. They will both have perspex shields seperating the plants and the lights so that there is plenty of airflow and not an excess of heat in the cupboard.

Anyway, I'm thinking about using drippers to feed my plants - I found drippers that can be adjusted between 0.5l/week and 1l/hr, which easily covers the amount of water my plants would need at the beginning and at the end. I would be using three seperate solutions, first water, then veg composition for the seedlings, mild flowering/veg for the stage two plants that are maturing, and full flowering nutes for the stage three plants.

Does anyone have any information/input about using drippers? Can anyone explain disadvantages, if any, and will I have to worry about not feeding my plants at intervals but constantly? Will it be easier to overnute or overwater, should I be worried, etc, etc.

Thanks for your input,
