I went looking and found:

Is that something like what you're talking about?

My pump is an 1 GPH @ 80 psi and before the solution goes to the manifold there is a 30 psi pressure reducer. I believe that tubing will handle more pressure.Sure did, have it in hand.
To clarify - your pumping into this stuff at 30+ psi?

That is an 8 MM, you can get it in 1/4" also, which is what I use.

Ladies are drinking well, just as I like my women to be. 
Around 3 gallon a day with a total DTW of 1 gallon per day.
there was about 2 gallons left in the rez and I just refilled the rez with RO, after adding 16 gallon that presents a starting 161 ppm. Once all the nutes have been added was @ 681 ppm.
Rez should last about 5 days and at that point there should be about two gallon remaining to which I will add Great White an Subculture II to hand water the 5 plants. Will do that at the last watering of the cycle at 7:30 AM so the roots will have that to absorb for the 13 plus hrs prior to lights on at 9 PM. This has worked well for me prior to each rez refill, and will do it up to the last week of flower.
I will begin adding dry KoolBloom at the next refill on Friday morning Day 51 and run that for around 5 days, that should put me at day 56 or 8 weeks of flower. Then the final couple of rez fills will be for flushing with very low ppm (just a small amt of Cal/Magic) to get the solution to accept the pH solution. Then harvest between days 66 and 70 during the week of Jan 7.
That allows for another three weeks for the mothers to produce the clones for the next grow. Plan on taking the clones at the end of the month, put them in the new cloning machine for 10 to 15 days. Then they will go into one gallon coco smart pots, veg in the tent for a week or so, to establish the root system, heavy on the Great White and Subculture II. Then start the next grow, hopefully get a 25 plant SOG out the these clones. Here's the new Cloning machine. Hope to get a minimum of 30 clones to chose from.
Still have a few thing to do, manifold is built but need to install the red EZ Clone nozzles. Am still trying to find the proper drill and tap size. I did a test with an 11/32 drill bit, could not get the nozzles in. So I am thinking maybe a 3/8" bit. Could use some help here ladies and gents.

I use a pair of plyers (carefully) to help install the nozzles. I found the 3/8 hole was a little loose.Ladies are drinking well, just as I like my women to be.

Thanks buddy! Will give that a shot.

1/4 inch seems fine for a drip line but what about moving water from reservoir to buckets and back?

I will be using 3/4" pvc, need tight fitting with the amt of nozzles i will be running. With the small pump I am running can't afford much pressure loss.
The pump sits in the rez so it just sprays and the solution stays in the rez.

Your gonna run the T5's all the way through flower?

You are right, the 3/8" is too big.
I used the 11/32 an use a #10 screw in the holes first, then I used the pliers to help get them in there and it worked like a champ. Thanks Smokey
It's complete, now need to get the small baskets to hold the cloning collars and I will be all set. The only extra pump I have now is an ECO 1056 which puts out the water, I hope not too much water.
I selected three plants to grow out as mothers, they are all the same size and I am not going to worry about which one may be the better high, as the THC level is high and I will be making FECO out of 75% of it.

It does seem like I am ruining stuff but actually I am running two 315W horizontal.

Looks gr8. That's a lot of sprayers for a small cloner, should work fantastic. When I used mine the root production (once it got going) was crazy. Not the greatest picture, but you get the idea I had to chop lots off.

Haven't set it up yet, will be taking clones around the middle of January.
But the plan is for 1 minute on, 10 minutes off, 24/7.
