your ph should be 5.5.. as far as a watering cycle goes, like Alito said are your roots touching water? if yes then thats all the water they need just put an air stone and now you have a DWC system..
 
3 x 20 minute cycles per day is the average for each plant when its starting out. They get thirstier the bigger they get so alter ur cycles to more cycles , say 4 x 20 minutes then 5 x 20 minutes etc etc. Watch the moisture levels on your rockwool they retain moisture and nutrients the most effectively. test it by sticking a cotton swap in the rockwool if ur unsure on how wet ur rockwool really is in the centre.
 
thanks ill do that most definatly
i also got this sugar daddy 0-0-0 i dunno what those numbers mean though is that good to use
