Do you have an inline filter or any sort of filter installed within your drip setup?? Just curious, I didn't order a filter but I think surely I can get by without one for just those 5 days till I can get me one to throw on there...

I think I read that the DIG manifolds already come equipped with built in filters, but not sure if they are reliable or sufficient.

no, i don't use any type of filter.

I am using the Dig manifold with the sprayers. I am able to use different emitters in the dig manifold. 2.2 gph or 3.3 gph, or as it works out to 165ml or 250ml per minute. I am surprised how accurate they are. They do make other size emitters but they wont work in my sprayers. I use a filter as I am concerned the emitters will plug up. Have run them thru 3 grows and no problems except the pump packed it in. they are sending me a new one.

Well guys, I have returned home from my vacation... However, I have not went to the flower room to check the girls. I will be honest, I am afraid to see how they look. I am worried they are gonna be dead and wilted and then I am going to go insane!

I am gonna cook me a bite to eat, then go see if it worked out like I anticipated.

I will say that I got everything hooked up and properly functioning before I left, however, I was really in a hurry as I was running almost 2 hours late! Sit up all night long fooling with it and hooking it up. I just hope everything went as planned and they are still healthy... It was working fine on the 2 test runs I done before I left, but I the feeding/watering times had not been dialed in, I just set the timer to come on twice during lights on. Once for 4 minutes, then again for 5 minutes... Hoping to go my anti siphoning worked right and that they recieved enough water...

I will update after I eat, cause I know if I lose this grow, I am officially fucked for the year... Fingers crossed!

This is how I solved my problem. 30W aquarium pump in a 60L bucket, some hose and orbit manifold and black silicone tube.

Woah, impressive flow. What type of pump is it, do you have a link? Must be a 30w DC pump?
Lol, is that a plant laying down for a nap in your tent?
