I get what you're saying, but Ive been running my system for almost two weeks now with 15 on and 45 off, and the root plugs seem to be pretty dry. I dont think the plugs themselves are getting tottally soaked with each watering. Isnt that the concern with root rot? I never had any problem in with root rot in dwc and i kept it on 24/7 with bubbles splashing the netpots the entire time. I understand this is a little different, but in that system the hydroton was at least a little wet 24/7. The root plugs were kept relatively dry though and i think this is key in preventing root rot. Ive never had it though so I dunno?

The plants have seemed to be doing very well, but I will go down to 15 min every 2 hours and see if there are any changes. Id like it to run as little as i can and still maximize grotwh so if i dont see any difference after a few days ill go with less.
flow Reviewed by flow on . Aeroponics mist on/off time So I am relatively new to aeroponics. I have just recently finished my first system and have been using it for a couple of weeks. My system is very much like these examples: Aeroponic System Plans - PVC + Tubs - Page 3 - The Garden's Cure Dr. Sub's DIY Aeroponic System - PlanetGanja.com Building a Home Made Aeroponic ?? - Cannabis Culture Forums My question is basically this: how long should the misters be running? Right now i have them set to go for 15 minutes every hour, Rating: 5
