it's not even base 12. It's mostly doubling units with some prime numbers thrown in.This was going to be my comment too, but I agree about the metric system.
I have no idea how a base-12 system was adopted but knowing Americans, they just wanted to:
- be different
- have 2 more in their base than metric
You likely need a pressure reducer/regulator, a fairly cheap part that goes between your hose or supply pipe and the drip line itselfDrip line and mister, yeah. I have a splitter on the base and one 4 mm hose attached to the sprayer, but it keeps leaking/slipping off.
Bro. Do you even hands high?it's not even base 12. It's mostly doubling units with some prime numbers thrown in.
try and calculate resistance up an incline with US Customary units.
the unit of mass is slugs. fucking slugs. 32 lbs in a slug
EDIT - i only know some of these units because I grew up on a farm and people still measure things in rods/furlongs, fathoms/cables, pecks/bushels, etc
Needed to buy some plastic tubing with an inner diameter of 3 mm. So I search Amazon and nothing comes up. Literally nothing.
And even though the box for the product I was connecting the tubing to (a misting system used for plants) said 3 mm, I thought let me convert this to inches and see. Sure enough, it worked.
I mean just look at this dumb shit:

Not only is 1/8" written as a fraction and a number (0.118), a lot of space is wasted on something that could be written as "3 mm (3 mm inner X 4.75 mm outer diameter)".
The solution is to replace imperial measurement teaching in education with the metric system. Then in a few decades we'll all be metrically inclined.
I was hoping covid would kill off all the retards who think our dumb measurement system is somehow better but it doesn't look like that finna happen.
Thoughts?
Biden's America.You growing weed?
Unbelievable.
First the beard and now the devil's lettuce.
Full blown hippie in the making.
wear three masks and you'll be quintuply immuneI'm immune.
And now I have the vaccine.
So I'm doubly immune. Per Biden.
I have it connected to a small reservoir that I fill with distilled water. Apparently tap water eventually clogs the filters?You likely need a pressure reducer/regulator, a fairly cheap part that goes between your hose or supply pipe and the drip line itself
City water pressure is 40 PSI or greater and can often blow drip line apart, especially if there aren't many emitters on the drip line to reduce the pressure.
A Regulator/Reducer will get PSI down to 10, 20, or 25 PSI as needed...FYI your mister may not operate on 10 PSI though, it may have PSI recommendation/requirement on the product label.
Can also experiment with not opening your spigot or the ball valve on your splitter all the way
Calcium buildup. Maybe a soft water filter?I have it connected to a small reservoir that I fill with distilled water. Apparently tap water eventually clogs the filters?

You can always build yourself a small RO unit & install a float switch in the reservoir. It’ll be more cost effective than the DI tanks. Your base TDS will be a bit higher (10-100ppm vs 0-1) but for plants it’s of no consequence as long as your fertilizer stays with a low sodium base. A soft water conditioner will add too much sodium as it exchanges the minerals for sodium. Potassium can be substituted but you’ll then be starting with a high kcl base with whatever tap water tds value you have.I have it connected to a small reservoir that I fill with distilled water.

Then it isn't too much PSI unless you are using a pump or something.I have it connected to a small reservoir that I fill with distilled water. Apparently tap water eventually clogs the filters?
1/8" is .125Not only is 1/8" written as a fraction and a number (0.118)
2 things...Then it isn't too much PSI unless you are using a pump or something.
Clogging emitters doesn't happen here much, but you must have more calcium in your water than we do.
I grow and sell bamboo that I keep in 10-30 gallon pots so I do lots of drip line stuff.
This debate is just one more reason why we need to go metric.1/8" is .125
It's pretty much EXACTLY half of a quarter, which we all know is $0.25
CNC machines are all coded in decimals instead of fractions. So I've memorized the decimal figures of the standard system for common fractional measurements.This debate is just one more reason why we need to go metric.

This doesn't change my stance on the metric system. At all.
I sell it to whoever wants to buy it, I recommend it stay in pots unless you have a large landscape and are willing to install a proper barrier to prevent spread(it will 100% contain it if done properly). Although I do have 3 varieties of clumping bamboo that only spread a couple centimeters per year.2 things...
Who the fuck you selling bamboo to?
And...
PSI = pounds per square inch. How do the metric tards in Europe handle that conversion? Do they do PSMM? Fuck adding an extra letter. Count me out of that metric shit.

I have about 25 varieties at my house and at my rental and people usually just ask to buy some...If I put an add on craigslist I can usually sell $500 dollars worth the next day. I can sell a pot of one variety Black Bamboo for 150 or more, it is rare and slow growing. People pay good money for it, I'm not trying to make money on it but it takes a lot of work to split a pot when it gets root bound, so I make sure to get my money back out of it when I sell some. Just a hobby really, and it makes great privacy shield for urban living.
I eat the shoots of a couple varieties also, delicious and bountiful this time of year
Not sure about the PSI thing, I just know I use both systems daily.
