A hydroponic drip system delivers nutrient solution to individual plants through thin tubes fitted with slow-release drip emitters. The pump runs on a timer, dripping solution directly onto the growing medium around each plant's root zone. Excess solution either drains to waste or recirculates back to the reservoir.
Key Facts
- Nutrient solution delivered through individual drip emitters per plant
- Run-to-waste systems use solution once; recirculating systems return excess to the reservoir
- Highly scalable β from 4-plant home systems to greenhouse rows of thousands
- Compatible with rockwool, coco coir, perlite, and soil
- Emitters can clog β flush lines and check flow rates regularly
- Ideal for fruiting crops: tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries
