How many plants do you got? I got me an atami wilma xxl9, it comes with 9 drippers, waterpump and 150 litter "waste" tank that is low in height(if you have a limited height space) and it comes with 9 18litter containers, i changed them to 1-2 gallon airpots.. so all you need to modify is to change the containers to a smaller ones, get some sort of reservoir where you mix your nutrient solution and little bit of garden hose to connect your reservoir pump to the dripping system, its very easy and the wilma xxl 9 cost onlly about 200 €. The measurements of it was maybe 115cm x 115cm and height about 20 cm.

i only used blumats and i liked them too
just dont feed anything organic with them because the thin lines clog up and stuff and always keep the plants in a tray with bigger capacity than your tank in case of runoff
and you can connect them into a live faucet with blumat pressure reducer but again in that case you must always be monitoring your plants or add some safety valves to cut the water flow if there is a runoff (i dont know their name).
other than that i like blumats and the company is cool, they stayed behind their product when i had a failure with an element in my system.

What size hub dripper is your friend using with their netbow?
Yes I always use about half strength and they love it.
I have fish pump in the rez to circulate the mix 15mins every 4 hours.
I find them amazing the plants get fed as they suck up the solution.
the top of the coco is always dry the moisture is deep down in the coco.
You can see root balls sometimes growing in the air under the dripper.
The carrots respond to the drying of the coco as the roots absorb the feed or the temp dries out the coco.
Result they get as much as they ask for and no more.
Also at the end of the grow prior to harvest you can flush easily by diluting the res.
The part I like most is the ability to reduce the amount they drink by adjusting the knob on the top of the carrot to mimic drought at the end of flowering.
Once you set them up you can forget them.
I am away from my grow for a month now and when I get back I am expecting a field of yellow shade leaves and fat sticky mature buds.
Can you use it with Hydroponics???Blumat 12 Sensor Kit - Easy As Organics

No salts buildup if you reduce the strength of the nutes. I use EC of 1.2 in my rez the plants are always hungry to grow and devour everything.
In the last weeks of flower I reduce the EC to 1.
Every strain needs to be fed differently I just watch the growth and adjust the strength accordingly.
Each dripper on each plant can be adjusted in how much it waters its a great system in coco.
If you accidentally over feed you can easily hand flush the pot and reduce the strength in the rez.
The plants grow fast strong and flower like crazy on the right nutes.

Are you in soil or coco?
I like soil because it acts as a buffer and supplies trace elements, but I don't have much experience with coco
