Indoor Plant Site: Drip Irrigation Lines Installed

The sun is setting and light is being lost fast, but all of the drip lines have been installed and tacked down so they do not get tangled or crossed. For those seeking specifics…

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.
