Drip can be difficult to setup with flex since those zones usually have varied crop types with different root zone depths (which equals varied number of days you can go without watering) and it’s more difficult to get an accurate measure of the precipitation rate for the drip system. In general, it is healthier for the plants to have a deeper watering with longer days in between. In your case, 3 hours does seem like a lot, but if the drip system is truly putting out what we default to, then not unheard of.
I am going to have our scheduling expert look at this tomorrow and provide some recommendations.
As a side note, we will be releasing much simpler, but just as powerful scheduling very soon.
Hope this helps.
