Hi,

so I am trying to water out of 8 ring feeder ands almost all the flow is going to the last 4, none at all to the first 2.

Obviously this is not how to do it. Could someone advise please? :)

The whole line needs to be a manifold like your make shift end plug. You’ll have equal pressure then at each spigot.

Even then it’s tough and having ball values at each pot helps fine tune them. You also have to consider how each plant will require slightly different amounts of water. Especially if you’re running multiple strains.

Shop was out of 13mm valves, I'll get some when they come in.

So if you plugged all your lines and stabbed into your loop at the end be the same thing.

Guess I'll redo it then. Happiness is cutting pipe under 600w :D

Would it work if just looped it back at the end all way to where it comes off the wall. Or do I need even distribution around the loop

Ya just put the T where the 90 is now,and the 90 where the T is and run more line back to the T.So a big loop.(manifold).
This way pressure is the same anywhere on the loop.
