Everyone has a different feeding cycle. I just thought about how wild a stab in the dark it would be if I just randomly suggested one... so it's probably best if you research grows with gear similar to yours to see what the successful people are doing.

ive looked but havent found anything really saying i guess ill start with 30 on 30 off

Did you google Aeroponics feeding schedule? I bet you didn't.

Too much to start IMO. Try 5 to 15 minutes every hour.

Oh! There I go again giving advice without knowing enough about your setup. Bad habit, sorry. Disregard.

sorry but u are the only person who told me what u think should i start out with just a few min on an hour and work my way up as she gets bigger, say 15-45?

for instance..

I thought aero were ran on recycling timers like 1 min on and 5 off . I grew some tomatoes once with a 3 on 5 off timer . I thought the whole point of aero was to keep roots moist but able to get max amount of o2 . Maybe this is my my tomatoes failed .

chasta is correct you need a recycle timer for sure. i will check mine i still have it set from last grow been out of the game for a bit. Think i was close to 1 on 7-8off.

if your system is anything like the stinkbud system you need to make sure the roots are long enough to reach the bottom of the tubes. I use rapid rooters and get them going in that then move to 3in net pots w/ hydoroton in a bubble bucket and top feed w/ spray bottle once a day til the roots are good and established then into the aero.

i seen a post on recycle timers how do some people keep theirs on 24/7?

bump ive also seen discussions of 15 on/ 15 off working good

if you want it on 24/7 you just plug it straight into the wall... 15/15 will work but the recycler timer is better

theres a really goof aero thread i was just reading.
