    You are constantly feeding with hydro, so it doesn't matter!! Set your ppms and ph to where you want it, and then just keep it there! After 3 days from when I set it, I only check it every 2 or 3 days!
    I tried to cross a Weinner dog and cat once, you know, to get a Weinner Cat, but you don't get a Weinner Cat, all you get is a Weinner dog with lots of scratches and a dead cat!!

    Depends on your system. But plants don't take up nutes when lights are out. But most of the time it's 3 times during lights on.

    Only dwc and areo are non stop. Ebb and flow and ebb and grow, drip systems turn off. Nft can be both. But this also depends on you media you deside to use. Hydroton, RW, perlite, like more feedings then coco and coco mixes. Or atleast in my setup. I run a mix and water 2 times lights on. So to give a better answer please give more details on what you want to run.

    Then 3 times lights on. 1 hour after lights come on and 1 hour befor lights go off. And 1 mid way. The times change with 18/6 and 12/12 so you get the idea.
