they say .5gph but they were not working so i drilled a tiny hole where the tubing goes in and it drips out a drop ever half of a second. where'd u get your drip manifold at?

the emmitters only restrict the flow so if your on a timed schedule and not a constant flow, you should be fine with what you've got. i got the 6 zone and the 12 zone manifolds from dripdepot.com. heres a direct link to the page. under the retrofit section.http://www.dripdepot.com/retrofit-retrofit-parts.html?id=p3AEPwPU
the 12 zone is a kit with stakes, plugs so you can run 4 lines or all 12 and converter barbs to attach 1/4in tubing. the 6 zone is just the manifold

i would wait till they rooted first before you start any watering besides misting the leaves. even so they should be started out at half strength nutrients so i hand water for 10-14 days then put them in larger cubes and hook up drippers on the same schedule as the others in veg.

so when the rockwool cubes dry out on the clones you telln me u dont water the rockwool?? cuz my method is soaking the cubes for 24 hours in distilled ph 5.0 water with superthrive 1drop/gal then take cuttings, scarifiy them and cut the BIG leaves in half. then you mist twice a Day the leaves..

I was thinking about starting up a drip system.
Any problems, beside the clones, or tips.. I also saw the greenman movie.

For the feed 3x 15minutes worked well? Not sure if there was an issue with that..

EDIT: Could you please send a direct link to the drippers you've selected?
