You have never said what you have inside those baskets. There is a big difference between having, say rockwool and hydroton. You have also not said the size of your water pump, which may also make a difference. The frequency depends quite a bit on those factors. The hydroton will require more flooding than the rockwool. A 50 gal per hour pump will have to run longer than a 300 gal per hour pump.
