Recommended flood times using 12 site Ebb and Grow and hydroton only.

Id like to know everyone's flood times or what interval they would flood at using hydroton only as the medium. I aero cloned a couple dozen babies and nestled the rooted clones in my ebb and grow setup under 1Kw. How often should i be flooding the buckets? every 4 hrs for 15 min? every 3 hrs for 15min? 30min floods? Night yes or no? less often as theyre young?

edit: ive got root and air temp covered with chiller and a/c as well as humidity and co2 with sentinel chhc-4.

As long as the flood water can reach the roots i would flood 15 min every hour. If the roots aren't being hit with the flood then hand water once an hour if you can or every chance you get for a week or so. Hydroton dries very fast so flood once per hour

that often? i guess increase increments gradually

You can play around with it. Flood it for 15 mins then come back in an hour and check how dry it is and go from there. But, your plants are on the way to dead within an hour of the roots becoming dry.

Thanks t2b. I appreciate the replys. Ill do every hour and watch em grow. Its a Dinafem strain but i lost the info so its a "???". Ive got some blue widow that im really looking forward to this fall.
