Do I need to use the FloraFlex pots alongside FloraFlex drip lines/irrigation or can I use any pot?

4”, 6” and 8” Square along with a 7.5-12” Universal Round FloraCap.

Varies with setup, but the common items would be: ● Reservoir ● Timer or Irrigation controller (If using Nylon Valves or Solenoids) ● Pump ● Grow tray if not using PotPro Platforms. ● Pvc Pipe and Pvc fittings will vary with setup. See How To Grow section of the website for different/relevant infographics.

The 6” Floracap.

Place the filter on the outlet of the Nylon Valve.

The 8” Floracap.

Optimal psi with all of our systems is between 25-35psi.

Yes.

This will vary with different systems, we recommend placing the drip lines/stakes that would go to one of the plants into a measuring cup, and see how long it takes to achieve your desired volume per feed or irrigation event. At this point you can set your irrigation strategy, please see Crop Steering under the How To Grow section of the website for more insight.

Yes.

1. Micro dripper systems are geared towards low volume, high frequency irrigation strategies. We do not recommend running organics or thicker nutrients through this system. 2. Open flow systems are geared towards those wanting to simulate hand watering without hand watering. Higher volume, lower frequency irrigation strategies. Organics and/or thicker nutrients can be used with this setup.

Our 3.0 versions are compatible, and so are our Drip Shields.

Yes, installing a pressure gauge at the end of your zone can ensure that the system is running efficiently and within PSI ratings.

SURFACE CLEANING DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Mix 37ml of BioSafe Systems GreenClean Acid Cleaner per gallon of fresh water. Allow to soak for 1-2 hours followed with a clean water rinse using a pressure washer or hose sprayer/nozzle. Higher rates are recommended for heavily soiled surfaces. After rinsing, use SaniDate 5.0 Sanitizer/Disinfectant according to label directions to disinfect hard surfaces and equipment. Or you can put them in a dishwasher.

Yes.

See the Pump Sizing Chart under the How To Grow Section of th website. https://www.dropbox.com/home/FAQ?preview=FloraFlex_FAQ_PumpSizingIrrigation.pdf

The flow inserts regulate different levels of gallons per hour (GPH) per each individual port of the Bubbler or QDPS.

● Yellow (2 GPH) ● Black (6 GPH) ● Red (10 GPH) ● Blue (20 GPH)

If you have an even amount of unused ports you can loop the ¼” FloraTubing from one unused port to the next unused port (a short piece will suffice).

¼” goof plug.
