Do you have to run your water pump 1on and 4off w/a cycle timer or can you just run the pump constantly? I built an 18gal rubbermaid unit and it works great, I just have no cycle timer.

your plants should grow just fine being misted all the time. consider it a super aerated form of dwc.

I'd throw an air pump in that reservoir too when roots grow to be under water

I run my cloning box 24/7, but my veg and flowering setups run 1on/5off on a recycling timer. 24/7 can work for all systems but it's not necessarily optimal.
