The watering schedule will depend on the medium you are using. A medium like hydroton, which holds no water, will need more constant watering than a medium like rockwool, which holds lots of water.

From most frequent watering schedule to least...

hydroton/gravel...
perlite...
coco coir/soil...
rockwool

So before your question can be answered, people need to know what you're growing in.

I read in your "ready to start?" thread you had airstones in your res. With airstones and expanded clay pellets you could have your drips on low constantly.

Keeping a good record of your grow will help you figure out what works and what doesn't. I highly recommend it, it makes trial and error much easier.
