Hello folks!

Iam doing an experimental DWC Aero Bucket gig, and was wondering what might be the best pump cycle for my application. Iam using a 5 gallon Bucket with an airstone and added 10 feet of Hydrofarms 3/4" hose Wrapped inside the bucket with a 205 gph pump. I have 50 holes drilled into it. Right now, I have my pump on a timer, and I have left it at 15 minutes running time, and then 45 minutes off. Before this experiment, I got amazing grow spurts whenever I changed nutes and left my plant in the open air(on top of an empty bucket). Anyways, I wanna mimmick the same thing with this experiment. How long does it take for the roots to dry out, or have problems without wetness or nutes? What is your input for maximum growth/yield. I need a pump cycle that has proven to work the best. Whatta ya think? Thanks in advance CG:)
