I am planning on setting up drip/bubbler system for a few 100 gallon smart pots. questions on how many emitters will be needed per pot. 3/4” feed line to a octa bubbler or manifold of some sort. i know i need to follow the roots so i will probably start with 3-4 after transplant then add a few every watering. or if anyone has any better ideas that have worked for them any input is much appreciated. will be running filtered into super Soil. thanks

water as needed and don't be afraid to let the pots dry out a little, just before wilt. Start with 5gl a day and let the plants tell you when to water. You will need more water as the season progresses.
okay. makes sense. are you familiar with super soil. it is my first grow in pot this big outdoor. do i want to see runoff W/supersoil or water just before runoff?

Don't waste water, but do give them a good drink when you do water. There are a lot of things that come into play with watering. You just need to keep a close eye on it. Best of luck
