Hey RIU -

To get right to the point -

in a top feed system, what would be the benefit of timed waterings (4 a day let's say) vs. a constant feed running 24-7.

I'm in hydrotron with 6"pots. Flowering is DWC.

What (other than bigger root developement in veg) are the advantages to allowing the medium to dry out a bit before waterings?
Thanks - I've learned alot since I ran that set up, and now question whether the way I did it was the best way - taking into account what I know about NFT, and DWC - does anyone have a minute to refresh my memory? or throw a link to relevant reading?
Cheers
