Indoor Growing Scrog

So if you run the pump for 10min then 35 gallons per irrigation or am I missing something?

The flow thru the 1/4" tubing is much less than what the pump can do if it is turned loose.
I don't know what the real world amount is every cycle, but it's significant. Again, my opinion
is, it doesn't really matter, the plants I've grown using similar schedule to 420, and DOA too IIRC,
seem pleased. Example: an earlier grow, same pump, 10 min fertigation every 2 hours. Day 30 ...

@420autoflower do you top your reservoir with plain RO water or add a little Calmag? Would 5 gallon reservoir for resilculating be enough or go higher?

I top off with R/O and my main NPK mixed in. I don’t add extra CalMag since the GH FloraNova Grow already has it.
From veg to after preflower stretch my EC drops from fast growth so I mix my nutes to about 750-800ppm and don’t let it drop below 650ppm. During mid to late flower my EC always rises from salt build up so I usually mix my nutes weak (550ppm). If it’s still too high I add more 15ppm R/O or 20ppm dehumidifier water to bring it down. Pump out and refilling with fresh nutes is done when EC is out of control.

Is this enough of a watering system? I can spend more if the added value makes sense. It only needs to run 1-2 plants for now.

You're best of running a single pump per plant if it's just the two ladies you have. You'll be ok if the plants require the same nutes but you don't want to end up taking one off the pump/reservoir to hand water.

perhaps have a look into the rainpoint/tuja programmable (wifi) pumps. I am very happy with them.

If you grow 4 autoflowers that are the same strain would you go with one reservoir for all or separate for each?

I'd have four separate pumps but that's just me. No two plants will need exactly the same schedule and if you have issues on a single reservoir it can create a headache for you.

Thank you I have two photos and one consumes more nutrients and another consumes fewer nutrients and I have one res. I will get four different res

Probably the way many do this: I make a strong mix of nutes in a gallon jug. I use it to adjust as needed
on a daily basis. More often than not though, the EC starts to creep up as the plants get larger
and drink more, and I'm adding plain RO water to keep things on target. Doing it this way means one doesn't have
to find an EC number when mixing nutes -- just make it stronger than needed and do the
mixing and EC measurements in the reservoir(s).

I’m currently running 4 of Sawneys White Gen 3 off the same pump and reservoir.
Just finished with their last defoliation and got them ready to come down the home stretch.
