What size drippers

[ThePizzaMan]

Sup

Looking to do top drip in coco in 2 gallon pots. I have a mondi 1585 gph pump... how do I know what size drippers(flow rate) i need to make sure these pots are adequately watered within a few minutes of the pump being on. What is everyone running.. I have 4 tables in one long row about 16 feet of 17mm white tubing in a square manifold with a blow off valve at the end.

I was running open lines..but it was causing my runoff to be dumb hot and was killing my plants due to toxicity ... the water was channeling and not soaking the entire media.

I want to make sure this doesnt happen again.

Any advice?

I cant handwater everyday anymore ..its getting ridiculous. Flood and drain is an option .. but i enjoy the cost savings of top drip... plus coco is really made for top drip.

Thanks

Try to mesure rhe amount of water in an hour, and so forth. Adapt it to your waterings

Using adjustable drippers works well for me, in use since years in 1 to 3 gallon pots with 1-5x/day multifeeding

I used to grow rockwool with drippers,they clogged so often I just took omitted them and put a valve inline to throttle. They grew the same. JME
