tokenroll Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Dirt or salt build up. Do you have a filter inline from the res?. Drippers are a pain in the arse always block. When I run drip feed I make my own drip rings and problems solved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommytopper Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 @tokenroll yes mate I’m using a inline filter I the drip clean would have made a difference but it’s maybe added an extra day or so before I have to unblock them my plants are too big now so I carnt get on to set it back up again. I’m still using the run the waste tray I made but with hand watering as a pose to drippers but I haven’t got the automated system I wanted which is a shame I prefer run to waste rather the anything else but I may have to change to a automated bottom feed system to achieve what I’m after probably a alien easyfeed system 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokenroll Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Ok if the inline filter is clear then remove the drippers and just put a little T on the end of the feed tube or run bare tubes. Problem should be solved. But after this grow as cant reach them atm. Edited April 27, 2020 by tokenroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danimo Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Not familiar with that system but if it's anything like a Wilma system then use a line cleaner product. I've used dutch pro drip clean and plant magic pure clean. Both worked great for stopping blockages and no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joba Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 always when you done with your grow is good to get all the components like tubes and drippers into hot water and add some soda bicarbona and leave it to soak or to buy new drippers,they cost peanuts,every year or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling-archer Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I know it may sound daft but i think your pipe ends play a part too. I have one nozzle that has blocked twice and each time literally a twist of the pipe on the nozzle end got it going again so i suspect the nipped in worn pipe end plays a part. You should have a look at irrigation websites as the professional irrigation systems are effing peanuts. As usual anything canna related is 3 times normal price I was looking for bits recently and found grow shops completely put to shame price wise for stuff like this. I am going to try this white feed hose they sell that repels heat and contains a anti bacterial/ fungal element. Grow shops charge a fortune but ive found it on a site for £7 for 15m , same size flow valves are 5 for £3 and nozzles were under £1 for sets of 6 on some.
