Micro Drip Irrigation

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

Refer to this chart for recommended pumps based on Max Assemblies per Zone.

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.

⅛”

Place the filter on the outlet of the Nylon Valve.

16mm

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

17mm

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.

It helps deflect light and keeps the temperature roughly 5° cooler inside of the tubing.

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.

It blocks light and prevents algae build up which would otherwise clog your emitters.

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