Mums in the first pic on drip.......396gph pump......lights on 24/7......pump runs for 15 minutes every 3 hours but I use Rapid Rooters and Hydroton.
Last 2 pics are Tray#1 in flower, 5 waterings a day during the 12 hour lights on period. 7, 9:30, 12, 2:30, 5:30--15 minutes each time
Your watering schedule will vary based on medium, phase of growth, temps, evaporation/transpiration from fans, etc.
I use drip tubes laid out in a grid to service a predetermined layout of 5.5" pots--4 per square foot in my case......you can see this in the last two pics. (look closely at the second pic and you can see the drip lines looping over the side of the pots)
I didn't look at your pics because I am too lazy, hope this helps
edit--went and looked at pics.....whats up with that nice little tray full of flowering plants??.....why not continue with the lollipops but straighten up that set-up and embrace some linear looking shit? (as in the pics below-just an idea) Are the big bags for mums or are you going to start flowering little bushes? Are you buying clones? Must be nice....if so why not stagger a few into flower every 2-3 weeks or however you want to harvest a perpetual grow?

Also....just a suggestion.
Ditch the house plants, imho you are just asking for insect problems with random tropicals in your op.

No those pics are from a friend who I get my cuts from those on the tray are his not mine. I plan on keeping one of each strain as a mom, and then flwr the rest of the cuts mostly sativas and hazes so Im going to veg only for like 2weeks then flower, and I also got the bubba kush which will be kept as a mom. thanks agin I see u used drip stakes, I was ethier going to do rings that drip or just a single and Im using coco, But next run Im switching to hydroton because u can just wash the salt build-off off and reuse them and high in silica
talking to me that was by accident i have nothing dont forget this is all a internet game my friend
