Watering schedule ?

Running one 600watt with a flood and drain setup. How many times should I flood the plants during veg and for how long....I only water when the light is on.
thanks

I just started with Hydro and what I came up wiht that seems to be working good is 3 times for 1/2 hour each time

4 times a day 20 mins.

i run my vegging schedule every 4 hours for 30 min around the clock with lights 24 hours works good. in flour i run the same but only when lights are on and once 6 hours after lights out to keep roots nice and damp i get 4 waterings in 12 hours starting when lights kick on in flowering.

depends mostly on the media and the stage of growth, one size does not fit all.

I use Rockwool without hydroton. I flood once a day for 15 minutes for the entire time in Veg.
Like CHOEMPI said, it will depend on your media.

i agree with that rockwool holds water in for a good while my pots i use dont allow the rockwool to touch the water level just the root mass coming from them

interesting .. with an aeroponic system its ok to keep it on allt he time yea?

Aeroponics sprays the roots not the roockwool.

Ok I have been water 4 times during the veg cycle for 30 mins during the light cycle. Plant is in a 6" rockwool cube and the plant is about 6" tall. The root is rather thick, when can I expect roots to come out of the bottom of the rockwool ? Just curious.

You are watering too much . You should only be watering once a day at that point. Check out my grow in my sig. I also use the 6" Rockwool blocks.
