What Are you growing? (as if we didnt know) but What? seedling, clone? Seedling, Short Rider which is an auto and I bought all fem. They are in a humidity dome right now and im not going to put them in my hydroton till I see a lot of strong roots coming out the bottom.
You say your Free Flowing on the roots how much air is getting to them?

Its My understanding that the roots need air as much as they need water? Yeah but thought Id be ok with 3 fans in a tubberware lol.

off hand I would recommend a Cycle timer and dependent of how old your ladies are the young get a short cycle like on for 5 min off for 20. so every 25 min you will hear the pump turn on for for 5 min and then be off for 20 allowing the roots to breath, the older get A longer cycle. That sounds complicated, maybe I should just do drippers? I have them, just wasnt sure if I should use them.
But Dont take my word for it I am new to growing in general, but I have been lurking and reading for months trying to get a better understanding so when i start i hope to have 0 Problems. Hope fully one who has more experience in this can give you the best advice.
Cool thanks man!
