I'm going to set up a drip system but wanted to ask experienced drip system users what GPH I should use. I think I have 1/2, 1, and 2 GPM drippers. Thanks in advance. BTW, this will be a NFTsetup.

I have two water pumps; one is about the same size as yours and I bought a big one, 396 gph. I thought I'd have two drippers on each plant, coming in from each side. I've been working on it and most of it's done now.

I see what your saying now...I just have one dripper well mine sprays pretty good. 185p/hr per 10 plants=18.5 gal per hr per mister. good idea but you might get a better opinion than mine...i know you CAN overwater in hydro...seems crazy but i believe it to be true. I have rockwool 1x2 cubes surrounded by hydroton and it stays nice and moist even at the top

I checked on my RW grow today and the top is still nice and moist under the mylar! I couldn't hardly believe it.
