Well when I leave it running 24/7 the roots, rapid rooters and hydroton are totally soaked. I want them to dry a little and get soaked again right? My thoughts were soaking them all the time was over watering? Right now have it set to water for 15 minutes every 4 hours and they seem to be doing ok. Much better now that I added four 26watt daylight cfls to my 90 watt ufo leds. Oh an the water is sittng about three inches below the net pots right now and the only way they get water is from the micro sprayers. Roots were coming out all sides of the rapid rooters a few days ago but have yet to come out of the net pots. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
texashustle Reviewed by texashustle on . Help with new Aeroponics setup Ok the drip system was being a pain in my ars so I made an aeroponics/DWC system. Its all in one res so eventually it will be part DWC. This is my second go round as I killed all but 2 of my 1st crop which are still struggling to survive. Idk if I should let them die or not but the gf insists on giving them a chance. :D The NL and afgan x mazar are thriving, I must brag after my 1st round. So anyhow my temps are a lot better now around 79-85 at the most, sweet. Res temps are at 77 running Rating: 5
