Waterfarms drip system running 24/7 is this bad? Can it hurt anything?

[SAP420]

I just put my clones in my waterfarms but I don't have an extra timer but was curious if it would hurt my clones any. I had them in my bubbler and their roots were sitting in well oxygenated solution so I figured that keep the roots wet couldn't hurt much. Plus I heard from weedhound that he keeps his farms on 24/7 drip with no issues. Anyone know for sure let me know please! Thanks

O.k. my bad I thought weedhound and her husband shared the same account. But anyhow, I have those clones you saw earlier now in the waterfarms under a long fluorescent lamp for now until my mother plant is done flowering. I have them on some floranova grow seedling/cutting dose feed right now but they seem to be ok since I did make sure that the roots were out before transplanting them. But yeah I did hear that weedhound runs 24/7 which is something I may start doing to encourage better root growth or so.

Aloha, SAP

Lotta folks will tell you that his will drown your plants.
Mostly folks who never tried it.

I use a 24/7 drip and it is working well, so far.
As long as the water is well aerated the roots are happy.
Raised 4 girls that way with good yield.

Of course, your milage may vary.

Have one momma in a 6 gallon bucket with no drip. No water pump, no timer, just a honkin' big airstone and a decent air pump

Ran a few wicks from the netpot to just above the water surface.
The roots grew down the wicks and filled the bucket.
Been 4 weeks now and it's the healthiest WW I've ever grown, or seen for that matter.

All the more impressive because she's a 100% LED grow and only 45Watts of 10 Red 660nm. and 3 blue 450nm.
I do listen to "experts" but always with a pinch of salt.
Usually plant a few more than I need so I can :weedpoke::weedpoke::weedpoke:.
Have found that conventional wisdom is not always as wise as I thought.

Plant extra, play around with 'em, Share your discoveries.
That's what I love about the web.

Good luck.
