I have had some experience in soil i understand that with soil you have to let the soil dry out a bunch before the next watering. so with hydroton seeing that there is plenty of room for roots to grow and have plenty of oxygen through the pebbles. also looking at drip systems i noticed that it is a constant drip. does the watering ever stop or is it watered 24/7? do clay pellets (hydroton) have to dry out a bit in-between waterings sort of like soil? or with all the oxygen and room between pellets it can just stay wet all the time. I would love to hand water these things once a day or so. but if i can do more watering im thinking the more water the bigger and better things will be. any info and opinions will be a huge help. thanks
