Read some reviews on these not clogging,
Lots of people really happy on IG with them
So far only 2weeks into flower with my test,
I’m very happy with them.
I’ll be removing all the floraflex matrix n square tops for them.

Just wondering.. What kind of pump are you running with those 360 degree emitters? Is it a good stream or trickle?

I am looking at those running off an adjustable 8 port manifold..

/Cheers..

Nothing special, just a 1000gph (guess)pump
It comes out good, I have to have a bypass valve open or it’s to much .
1” off the pump , 3/4” to the manifold
1/4” tubing each emitter 4A47AEAF-0B67-4E96-96B5-DE33153269AC.jpeg

Thanks for info. I wonder if a 400gph submersible lifting water 3ft (400gph are rated 6ft lift) would have those 360 emitters cover 6 inch diameter..

Nice setup btw..

if your only using 8 heads you should be ok,
I’m using 16 pre pump .
If they don’t have enough pressure, you can increase the line size to the emitter .
Thanks , I like to work smarter not harder
I have 4 of them, all hooked up, I can pump any res to any light , res to res, res to waste.

So I got this setup and I am pretty stoked on how it’s working

I needed up with 23 plants and 48 emitters.
I used the hydrofarm drip hose and 4 gal per hour emitters pushes into that Jose for each distribution point. The gph emitters help to maintain constant pressure through out the system.

All lines need to be the same length so water travels the same distance.

with the 4 gph emitters,each plant site is given 1.75 liters in 4 minutes. I do two cycles per day one at lights on and one halfway through. Once I hit heavy flower, I add an additional 4 minutes to the timer about 2 hours before the lights shut off.

I have done pvc drips but for a smaller room with just 24 plants, the soft black hydrofarm hose is perfect. I already had the pump and spent only $60 for the components. At that rate I just replace the lines every other round. That way nothing plugs up

Hey @nurrgle you have read my mind I was asking myself this. So assuming 2 weeks veg plus 8 week flowering based in your numbers each plant will get 343 lt of solution but this is using what size of pot and what substrate? Coco/perlite? At the end how much dried flower do you get from those 24 plants?

Have a great day!
