A colloquial shortening for Drip Irrigation. A system where water and nutrients are delivered directly to the plant’s root zone in a controlled, slow-release manner through a network of tubes and emitters. Drip systems allow growers to precisely manage moisture and nutrient levels, ensuring plants receive consistent hydration and nutrition without waterlogging. This method is popular in both soil and soilless grows for its water efficiency and ability to reduce nutrient waste.
