New drippers came a couple days early These are netafim woodpecker jr 0.5gph pressure compensating. Seems that netafim irrigation stuff is real common in commercial grows so we'll see how they go
Probably but I have no idea. I'd think I'd either need to do some math to get the exact right pump or something. Currently the tubes without the drippers would easily shoot a stream across the room. I think the floraflex systems are regulated through a distributor type thing. But the floraflex website totally confuses me. All the new drippers are currently still working and putting out 30ml/min (1oz), so that lines right up with the 1/2gal/hour. But they drip much faster then the older ones that were working. Had to cut my fertigation times in half pretty muchHey bro…
I noticed you’ve been having problems with getting your drip emitters to work well.
Is it possible to eliminate the emitters and just strait pipe the feed directly to your plants?

I’m only using the Flora Flex cap and clip… the 1/4 tubing is just normal irrigation line and the pump is a small little 185GPH unit that works just fine.Probably but I have no idea.

With the drippers I'm only running it now for 2 minutes every 3 hours when lights are on, so they're only getting 4oz of feed at a time. But they're working well so I'm gonna ride it out for now. I've been running this system for a few grows and never had dripper issues until this run. I generally replace all the drippers after each run but I ran out of my old ones and bought different ones. Looks like I just got a bad or fake bag since mano just bought the exact same ones but his came in totally different packagingI’m only using the Flora Flex cap and clip… the 1/4 tubing is just normal irrigation line and the pump is a small little 185GPH unit that works just fine.
Looks like you’re running a water to run off grow with coco so I assumed running your irrigation without emitters wouldn’t be a problem since your root systems are most likely well developed by now. You could always start out at 1 minute increments and have one of your lines running into a container to gauge how much time to run your pump.
