Cultivator's Return - Multiple Grows

yeah put aquarium heater in and set it to 20c.
 
Cult, I have been trying to set up my drip feed system but so far I have been failing miserably.

The flaw is nowhere even and the plants first in line get feed, but the last nothing. Let me upload some photos so you can see whats the case.

Are your lines all the same length? They needed to be to build up pressure evenly.
 
Nope, there are longer and smaller lines all through the tent. Do they have to be literally same by centimeters?

The last pot is on the line is literally getting 0 water.
When I launch my pump at max there are leaks everywhere, seems like too big pressure or..?

The main hose is like 10m long, is this likely to be the problem for everything?

My pump is Hailea 8810.
 
you need to make sure all lines are the same length. its a pain to set up. use a stronger pump too. any differences in pipe lengths will make pressure uneven and a ball ache to fix. it might be easier for you to run a couple of lines on separate pumps too.
 
Do you think if I buy like 2 more of these pumps it would be easier?
I have 16 plants in one tent to feed and 4 in the other.

I can make it 3 pumps for first tent (5, 5, 6) and 1 pump for the 4 in the other smaller tent.
Will it work well in same reservoir?

I would run bigger pvc tubing from the rez into the tent then branch off with equal length lines to the plants. Your just going to have to use separate timers.
 
That's what I do is run a pvc line through the tent and have smaller sphagetti lines coming from the main line.
 
exactly, pic tubes with lines coming from it.
 
Cult, since I'm still hand watering them, do you think 2 times a day is enough?
Do you think its better to water when they come on and around 5-6h later or water once while are on and water once during night?

Thanks to everybody for the feedback and help! Appreciate it!

Always feed when lights are on. When lights go off plants are sending back to the roots so the uptake then is minimal if anything. I feed 1/2 hour after lights come on and again in 6 hours if feeding twice on a 12 hour light cycle.
 
within first 30mins and 5 or 6 hours is best. don't feed during dark period.
