Not sure what you getting at?
All I do, is put them straight in from the MH room, cut lower branches off, then 8 weeks later I have that. That room is constantly on flower cycles............How much work in SCROG?

Well... if you veg for eight weeks and you scrog them you could do about say 15 plants and get the same amount of tops and yield. The thing is that you have to trim out all the growth below the screens. Keep em shorter that way too.
So... less pots to fill with substrate, less to toss. And the trimming youre doing would be less, but it would be a tad more bothersome...getting in low and working under the screen... Probably less water to mix with nutes...

You can do 1/2 or 3/4 inch tubing to "spaghetti" lines. Don't use any drip stakes, just get the clips to line the spaghetti tubing up to soil. Less chance of clog. Buy a good pump, 1/2 hp IMO bout $150 bucks. You'll have killer even pressure even if your system isn't built the most effective way.

You do not have to change your style of growing to accommodate a drip system.
Draw a picture of how the pots are aligned in your area. I'll help you map it out.

I'd just go with what was mentioned above because it's what I do personally .....come up the middle of your pots with a main line ...black water line you know what I'm talking about I'm sure ....cap the end of that line and start running spaghetti off that supply line to your girls ....easy peasy ......electric pumps are cheap I've seen people do gravity also but a pump is worth it in your case .....good luck

@East Coast DIY drip rings is a cheaper method & should be easy to source parts like
a pump, 6mm drip line & 6mm T's.

15 mins to pot 40 plants? Wow. Guess i am slow...lol
I dont know why i thought you said you vegged 8 weeks. Oops...
Anyway... was just a suggestion. I do believe scrogging is far less work all around.

15 minutes to pot 40 plants holy shit ....takes me 15 minutes to open the bag of fuckin soil .....I did 18 just recently and that took me over 2 hrs of course I'm not trying to rush through it and that was with my brother helping me not including watering the bitches ......15 min 40 plants that's some kind of world record ....I'd kinda like to see that

Took me an hour to pot 5 potential moms in 2 gal pots. That is counting the rinse of the hydroton rocks for the bottom and watering them after. So yeah... 15 mins for 40... i dunno what i am doing wrong...lol

My posts are only 2ltr, clones are from bubble cloner, jamed straight in, cut with rusty scissors, nice and simple. No magic root cloning powder or H202 etc.........
So after a little research, this is basically what I think might work......

Like the way the emitters are pressure regulating, so the first plant to the last plant will get the same, come in various litres per hour also. Bonus with the four-way splitter!
