Curious as to what cycles people are running their pumps at in various hydroponic setups especially aero, nft, and ebb and flow. I run my aeroponic setup 24/7 just interested in what works best for others. Thanks
How often do you run your pumps

flood and drain system: 20ltr res.
seedlings during 18/6 veg, 1 flood 15 mins after lights on, 1 flood 15 mins before lights out, 10 minute cycle.
2-4 weeks, 18/6 veg 1x10mins cycle every four hours, 4 cycles total.
4 weeks+, 12/12 flowering 1x10mins cycle every 2 hrs, 6 cycles total.
I NEVER feed while lights off, do you eat while asleep? Didn't thinks so!
Used this regime for over 10 years and find it works brilliantly well. GLuck

This is my second grow and it really never occurred to me that I don't need to water at night
. I just was worried about roots drying out and burning out my pump which happened with the cheapie I started with. I have not yet had any negative effects from the constant flow and the roots seem healthy but maybe it has hurt my yield.

I also use 100% hydroton.
