hey guys, im piecing together my grow system right now, and im gonna go with a drip feed in DWC or with the tubing that wraps through the net pots..


my main question is-

in the mr.green videos, he says he does 3 feedings a day, all during the Lights On cycle...

so for how long is the dripper feeding the pots? ive been searching and cant seem to find an answer on the boards... and is there a recommendation as to maybe i shouldnt water 10min before the lights go out or whatnot?

ive got T44 and G13 already in rockwool about to sprout underneath my 75 watt flouro walmart grow light i just bought, haha...but i get paid next week and gonna get some T-5s from lowes for my veggin/mother/clones..and a HPS before i go into flowering..


the help is greatly appreciated...
