Indoor Grown: Drip Tape Specifics

For my structure indoor grown plant I plan on using the following drip irrigation set-up since the plant will not be receiving any direct natural rain.

Total of 48 lines each 31ft. long to cover my 40ft x 32ft single plant area
Drip Tape Thickness: 15mil.
Emitter Spacing in Tape: 8 inches
Flow Rate per 100ft @ 8psi: 20 GPH (or 0.34 GPM)
Space between Drip Tapes: 9 inches
Run Time: Daily for 30-60min. (*This will depend on the season and plant stage of development as I can also control the flow to each line individually, so I may select to have two 30min. irrigation events per day during peak growth and heat.)
Estimated Water Usage: 150 gallons per 30min. irrigation over 1,280 sq.ft.
