Water flow rate

I set up my new hose timer today and everything went smoothly. At the other end of my hose are 104 0.5gph drippers so the flow rate should be 1.7 gpm (gpm, NOT gph). But my b-hyve says that the flow is double that. I’d like the b-hyve reset the flow rate. Is that possible?

If your drippers aren’t individually pressure regulated, then the flow rate will wildly vary. Pressure regulated drip heads in drip lines cost more, but are available. The cheaper drip lines will not be individually pressure regulated.

In the bhyve app, you can only reset the flow rate by doing the “Recalibrate Flow Rate” option, go into Zones, select the zone, and then Recalibrate Flow Rate, and hit the big Test button.

TY! Tried what you suggested but don’t see “recalibrate“. My drippers are PC. The problem is that at the beginning of the cycle the flow rate is high. After about 3 minutes the flow rate flattens out. Ideally I’d like to recalibrate 5 minutes into the cycle. The drippers are for my backyard vineyard. When the water is on it’s on for 2-3 hours.
