DWC cloning question

I use a DWC type cloner and recently I moved the location of it, and ended up setting the air pump to a extension cord that ran 18/6 on/off period. I'm wondering if its alright to keep it on the timer or should I run the pump 24/7? The clones arnt submerged but they get a nice mist when the air pump is on and I'm already seeing roots.. day 9 since I put them in there and day 3 since its been ona timer. I just don't want them to dry out since I've only ran the pump on at all times.

i had air pumps running 24/7, if you really need to put them on a timer at least wait till they have roots so they have a better chance at staying strong while the pumps are off :)

It was actually just me pluging it in to a plug I had inside the tent and I didn't even realize it was on the timer till this morning. Was kind of a shock to me but thanks man ill move it back to its original place.

Yeah if you can avoid having it on a timer then most definitely keep the bubbler-cloner on 24/7 just like you would your main DWC res.

If you haven't done it to date but your plants are happy then job well done in getting them this far sir, but take them off the timer if you can and run it 24/7.

Usually, before I moved it into my veg tent, I had it on 24/7 and I just recently pluged it into my tent which is why I was kind of worried. Although in those 3 days I've been getting roots which is suprising to me but now the pumps has its own outlet.. thanks guys.
