Ok mate cheers how much water do you think yours is putting out per feed to 1 pot 


 

I haven’t measured it properly but I know how much it tends to take to perform 2 feeds in one lights on period usually 2L each feed. 
 

so I would say my system is putting out 2L per plant per feed in 1minute of time.

 

So that’s 4L per minute as I run 2 plants in 11L coco. 

 

with that said though my pump doesn’t run at 100% to the ring. 
 

I restrict the line feed slightly and have a back pressure release valve which stops any major pressure build up in the ring delivery. So the pump doesn’t deliver everything it can to the ring when it feeds.
