Need drip system advice

[ace705]

I have adjustable flow dripper's from home depot hooked to dripper line and then to 1/2 inch poly tubing with an end plug.

I'm using rockwool block's and i have a 265 gph ecoPlus pump.

My question's are,

How many gallon's per hour drip do i need and how often should i water
time-on and time-off.

Is my water pump rated to high(pressure).

How should i fertilize my seedling's that just popped up?
I'm using gh flora,micro,bloom and diamond nector

Rockwool cubes hold water pretty well. You can have a constant drip but most likely you will only need to water two or three times a day. For 10 to 15 minutes. depending on how dry the cubes get during the day. Water only while your lights are on.

You dont need a high pressure pump. just something that pumps a decent volume of water. but it will be ok if it is.

You should'nt use any nutrients on freshly sprouted plants. I recommend you wait at least a week up to two to add any. Even then only light nutrients, until you get full in to the vegatative stage of course. Even then i wouldn't use full strength nutes until your plants are nice and healthy. maybe take a few plants and experiment on them before you add nutrients to the rest.

Sorry about that,i did'nt mean to put that question mark there.

Do you know any thing about the gh waterfarm system?
I might try to grow some mother plant's in it.
