Depends on a lot of things. Number of sets, how much water the ground holds, etc.

We run 12 hour sets most of the time. Our ground holds a lot of water, most places we can cover in 5 days @ 12 hours per set. Usually can wait a couple weeks before you run again. I'd wonder at 6 hours at that low of pressure if your getting enough water out there. I'd run at least 3 8 hour sets, if you want to run 6 hour sets you can get 3 easily in a day.

If you don't run a long enough set to saturate the ground well, you could be doing more harm than good trying to get across the field quickly.
