ok the sprayers are the standard red winged type they screw into the caps so i can reach in and pull them out any time i need to i can also close any one off by simply removing the cap and capping it off if i am not growing in that pot.
each 3 inch pot gets 2 sprayers sprayers are 360 degree type.
i am building a new unit tonite with internal piping ill use a single pipe internal with 7 sprayers.
this is a 4 foot 6 pot system
i am likely gonna train plants in alternating directions so they all get light We will see.
how many gallons of water should i use?

are the caps that hold the sprayers threaded? Did you just tap them yourself? I really want to make a system like this myself... and man yours looks professional.

i used caps that screw into the pvc they are domed and the sprayers screw into the caps do you want to see them as well?
i have to warn you tho the glue dries almost instantly so if you misalign your fucked
other then that i did this in 2 hours start to finnish
i am doing the second one with a much simpler design so i can see if it makes a difference in the grow if not ill be making it totally internal with a single pipe and cap i can build that in like 30 min from start to finnish
