    When the black dripper is up straight the drip does run down the spike so guess its fine I'm just sure I used to have my spikes in at an angle. How's my luck though, the bloody bulb went today so currently got them under cfl gonna have too go get a new bulb tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing these cuttings take off been a long time since I had a tent full of bud. Got my lemon haze in flower but they kinda small so ain't expecting a huge amount of them. I may stick a diary up well have too see.

    You measured the rate of yours karsa? Online for me says black drippers are 2L per hour which should mean each 15minutes gives 500ml. Run mine for 5minutes and only got about 60ml so still works out less than half of what it should be.

    Might want to ignore that lol I only just clocked I had that tap bit open on the Wilma so what was getting pumped through was also having some go back round and into the res lol. Gonna run them now for 15minutes and see what we end up with no doubt gonna be better or least I imagine it will. Proper div at times lol

    Just went out and got the 600w bulb as mine broke. Got that in and so suspect they will need a watering from Wilma tomorrow. Gonna go with every other day first week then onto once a day and just Increase over time as they grow.

    Id use the blueones that come woth the wilma. Also if your using coco with the wilma id be carefull. You may get a host defficiencies.

    Coco should idealy be fed run to waste. Or if you have to bottom "wick" feeding. Nutrients shoundnt recirc in coco as it strips macro elements and can create inbalences with Cations. "CEC".

    Cheers, have used a Wilma before in the past. Tbh this time round I will probably just use it for veg. Was running into problems with the hand watering and ordered this as never messed up with it. Although truth be told I sorted that now so really its just laziness lol. Ill be hand watering by time I'm in flower just as plan on having plants too huge to be so close in the Wilma.

    Aye man. 8 drips is 36 litres every hr. So I have it on twice a day at 15 and 30 min intervals in the end. Depended on what lights I used as I swapped the schedule quite a bit.

    I run wilma with coco from veg to flower and don't get any deficiencies.

    I Have done since I started, my advice is make sure you feed them atleast once EVERYDAY. It's hydro not soil truss me. I have done loads of variations side by sides (admittedly not documented on here) The days you don't feed them slows them down, and make stems 'woodier'.

    Coco is well aerated and allows oxygen in unlike soil where you can kind of suffocate the roots, add airpots or smart pots and your onto a winner.
