4x8 tent with 4x8 tray
My drip system so far is,
55 Gal.tank
1/2HP sub. pump (to)
6 ft garden hose (to)
20PSI pressure reg. (to)
in-line filter (to)
8ft of drip system hose with 27 1/4" one to two foot long drip line's
At this point just 1/4" hoses to plants with no emitters
1) First try was without the pressure regulator...to much pressure.. only ran pump for 1-2 sec.!
2)Second try with the regulator installed still a lot of water coming out...only ran pump for 2-3 sec. and then watched the water trickle out of the drip lines for a few min. Lots of water left in tray after.
* Is the 1/2 HP pump to much for such a small system? (What size?)
* Should I use some type of emitters? (What type?)
* How to I stop the after pump trickle from giving to much water?
* Is the rest of my system good or should I change anything?
Any help with this will let me sleep better!
Thank's for any suggestions.
