Please help end an argument.
I have an ebb & Flow table with 6" netpots filled with 50% vermiculite and 50% Perlite. The plants are vegging 16/8 and are averaging 6-8" tall. The tray fills to about 2" high for 15 minutes at a time.

I have had the tray flooded 3 times every 24 hrs, and my friend thinks thats too much. He says they would grower better/faster if they were allowed to dry out and says MAX should only be once a day. My argument is that when it fills up with water, and then drains, the water is being replaced by oxygen.

Who is right?
