6 checks that tell you whether the gallons you think you are delivering are the gallons your plants receive. The delivery math is the math we run at home, and the defaults are our own numbers on the day we first checked. The recipe is the easy part. Delivery at scale is the discipline.
One lateral, head to tail. Drag the end cap to make the row longer or shorter, and tap the tube to change lateral size. The plants dim where the water stops arriving.
Set the system the way it is actually built and programmed, not the way the catalog described it.
Each check compares what the program says against what the hydraulics deliver. Green means the numbers agree, amber means they drift, red means your records are describing a different farm.
The defaults above are not hypothetical.
The configured 10 gpm against a measured 85 is what we found on our own platform: every historical water record read 8.5x low until we measured the real rate at the valve. The 72-plant rows rated 13.2 gph per plant that deliver about 9 are our rows. Run your farm through the same checks before your feed program makes a decision on a number the pipe never delivered.
The check finds the gap. The walk closes it. Bring these numbers to the call and we will tell you which one is costing you the most.
