[DJDemzOne]

Here is one of the manifolds you can use

it will take one source and water 6 plants

I cant find the one I use, but this looks like it would work

good luck and have fun

Once my card reader arrives I can post a few pictures of the ones I built and sold for a while and will again someday through The Indoor Gardener business that is being setup.

Cool, so i can put a 3/4" non threaded flexible rubber tube into the regular sprinkler manifolds for outdoor drippers? In the pic Sttony, you have a single dripper with a spike. does it still water the whole netpot or just directly underneath the dripper? im going to be using hydroton so i need to kind of spray over all of it. I'm gonna go pick up a 6 drip manifold from home de-pot this weekend.

Yes, the water (nutrients) trinkles down into hydroton and by the time it comes out the bottom everything is dripping wet. You want the top part around the stem to stay retivatily dry so you dont get any rot problems at the base of the stem.

I don't have any drippers on the 1/4" line. Drippers clog up all the time and need to be replaced. If you noticed, there's a set of (2) valves in my reservoir to regulate the the water pressure to the manifolds and to to regulate the airation mix into the reservoir.

Ok here are a few pics of a drip system I designed & the drippers I used. There is NO emitter as this is a recycling system and uses grow rocks and no rock wool it could run 24/7 or full on with the lights and then 15 on 45 off in the dark.
