^^^ this is the fatal flaw. To be successful you need a budget and the wherewithal to buy the tech you choose in the budget. If you have to convince beancounters you will eventually be doomed.

I'm sure you'll have the 'right' words that contradict that. I wish you well.

I do have a budget and a choice, we had already made a choice on air purifiers(current culture), so that's why I had to run those by the investors.

Heres an example of a basic doser setup, you can see it splits into 4 zones with sprinkler valves on each one.

yes I would love to run Dosatrons or an Agrowtek BDX system etc., And most likely will. But we have money in escrow with a seller for three different property choices, We have a large budget but of that budget our property choice determines our build budget. If we get the smallest property it will be all indoor, medium property and large property we will be indoor/ greenhouses , so I'm trying to see what all my options are for irrigation/ build out so I can determine costs, I'm giving these investors multiple options to choose from because of the vastness of the operation

You'll certainly want to run dosers and open sprinkler is a great platform so is the trol master controller. You really only need two dozers for jacks. You can mix your part a with Epsom and the second doser for your calcium nitrate. I'd check out custom hydro nutrients website they have a similar nutrient line like Jack's hydro You can get it by the pallet I think cheaper than Jack's. I personally ran 1-in hard PVC from my well pump to a dab mini inline booster pump to a master control valve then to my dosers I also ran a normally open normally closed bypass around my dosers so I can time fresh water flushes if I need to. You will want to measure the flow rate of your water supply so that you can calculate the amount of drip emitters that can run efficiently at one time that will become the maximum you will want per zone. I like to run at least two drippers per plant just in case one clogs there is a second to keep the plant alive in case you miss it during your daily visual inspection. I run an inline filter before the system another one before the dosers and then another one where my hard piping meets the poly tubing at the plant site. It doesn't take much debris to clog those spray stakes I used netafim 10.6 gph emitters with 180 degree spray stakes. I like the ones that connect at the top with the tubing the drippers on like drip depot that come up from underneath are not well suited for small indoor pots they have to ride above the soil line by at least five or six inches so it doesn't kink the tubing.

Thanks, yes dossers are where I want to be, I'm just trying to look for all options just in case they don't want to use dossers. So you like the netafim 10.6gph emitters? I was thinking I could use something a little less flow if running two lines per plant(10.6gph= around 668ml a minute) so two lines would deliver 400ml in about 17 seconds. I don't know if I need it to flow that fast.

I feed to runoff with a root bound 2g pot (4 plants under each 5x5 square 1kw DE HPS. It about 90 seconds of feed before slight 5-10% runoff at the single feed per day stage. Once I start multifeeding each day it's starts dropping the wetter the pots stay. Once i hit 6 feeds in a day I'm around 45 second feed times.
