I got a good friend up your way. Wish he grew. Anyway it looks like you have done some homework in setting up. The drip can be run 24/7 but place the drip in between the rooter plug and the outside of the netpot. So it is not running right down the stalk of the plant. Kind of leading it away from the center. It will help the rootball by not staying soaking wet all the time and cause rot. We have been running our drips at 15 on 45 off or 15 on and 105 off. whatever you start your drips at keep it there. Seems when you change in mid stream they don't like it and will slow down on you till they adjust.

No nutes for the first about 2 weeks of life after that go lite on nutes at first. Then pump them up. If you see the tips start to yellow back off on nutes. This is where a PPM meter really helps.
