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.

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.

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.

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
