where does everyone get their drip emmiters?

how much would you drip for-
180g heavy bio load
100g heavy bio load
120g heavy bio load

thanks for any info:)
 
I get mine from Lowes, but I have one that does a lot of irrigation stuff. You can order them from www.rainbird.com.

If I was you I would buy .5gph, 1gph, and 2gph and experiment to find out what works best. I would start with 1gph on each. If you need more than 2 you can split the line and combine emitters, plus, they're cheap as hell.

Change the water until you get it to the level you're aiming for, and put a 1gph drip on each one. If the levels start to go up increase the drip, if they go down, decrease. Test every 3 or so days.
 
I am working up a different design inspired by a local guy I met. Complete water management. Hopefully I can get some shopping done this weekend and come up with all the parts necessary to get this going. I will try and keep everyone posted.
 
I am going to try and go look for parts for mine tonight. I will keep you posted.

That's been working perfectly for me ever since that thread was made.

I use the whole house filters but still slow drip diluted prime for my own piece of mind. Some believe that at a slow enough drip rate it shouldnt matter.
