[I just let the nutes rip thru 24/7 with a 1/4" tube .... not even using a dripper! I just stick the tube into the hydroton and turn the pump on.

no kidding, The times I have tried this,it grows green algie or the top and the leaves droop from over watering.
must be the pump flow rate,I do tend to over kill everything.:stupid: how big is the pump and how many feed lines?
