Drippers added, can I run them all the time?
1st off...In hydro the more nutrient solution and oxygen you can supply to the roots the better. In both DWC and NFT or Drip you have mature root system in water all the time...

I hope I explained my take on this clearly enough for you...
Keep in mind, I am just passing on "my" beliefs through trial and error. Not gospel, just my opinion. OH yeah, and it's 5 am...lw
