DRIP DROP
I’ve heard of people using individual lines to feed their plants drop by drop of water all day. (s this effective and, furthermore, how would I go about setting up something like that for myself? Thanks!
Itching to Grow
Dear ITO,
You’re referring to the hydroponic growing method known as the drip-emitter system (DES), Tubing connected to each plant draws liquid nutrient solution from a reservoir to every plant in your room. Drip emitters are the ends that sit at plant level and control how much water the roots receive.
First, you’ll need enough tubing to reach all of your plants. Drip systems are quite versatile, and you can customize them to fit almost any space or amount of plants. Cut the tubing into the lengths you need and secure the dripper on the end, Then firmly press the emitter into the top of your grow medium; connect the reservoir end to your underwater pump; and set the timer to drip when needed (typically about 10 minutes every two to three hours during the „daytime part of your light cycle). You wilt need to increase or decrease feedings based on your plants‘ size and nutritional needs.
