i just put a clone into my drip system. but how long do i let the water run for? ive seen 15 minutes in some places and all day in others.

any other general tips for a drip system would help. thank you

Cannabis is a water loving plant.. You could run the drip 24/7 if you want to. Specifically which system do you own? If you don't have airation to the roots, you run the risk of root rot.

If you run alln day you will get root rot, fungus gnats for sure! I run drip rings over hydroton. For flower they run- 30min @ lights on, 20min @ every 4 hrs.ish,and 15min. 1hr before lights out. After all research and experimenting this works best for me. Also I use 2 gallon rose buckets.DSC02434.JPG

if you drip into coco you dont have the risk of overwatering, and your roots get all the air they need. you do however need to do 100% of the feeding. it will be easy to calculate how much water when your in coco, because more is better. i wouldnt water more that 3 times a day.
