1.0.3: Project red (or possibly just redstone) bug?

Version:
1.0.3

What is the bug:

Trying to automate some Botania stuff, since I'm making a giant island of the smaller flowers and I don't REALLY want to have to stand in front of the petal thing for an hour for it. But with this setup, project-red wire/repeaters, the top two droppers have a habit of dropping more than one item at a time, and often the bottom one won't drop anything at all.
I have the wire disconnected from the timer in this picture, it's normally connected, so no worries there.
Any ideas on what's up here?

Hi, maybe try adding solid block between repeaters and droppers.

put a redstone (vanilla or p:Red) infront of the timer!
It seems it dont touch the existing wiring...

But... the signal went through, but the weird double drops and nondrops were occasional. Hence why I'm confused about it, since you'd think that if I was doing something silly and obvious, it would have a consistent result.

If you check Dire's video where he set up the Endoflame flower, he used a specific mod's dropper which worked better than the vanilla droppers as he said that there are issues with vanilla droppers that should be avoided where possible. Vanilla Minecraft Droppers have anything but a consistent drop!

Also, if you want a really precise and configurable dropper setup, do check out the ones available from Factorization, they can drop one item at a time, I believe, from seeing a video Dire did on that mod.

Dire used the Botania Open Crate, wich in his setup as it is right now, wont work

Huh, ok. I'll try a different dropper or two tonight, see if that fixes it. Thanks all.
