hows it going everyone!? hope all is growing well and what not!

ok so i have a small flood tray (for now :bigjoint:) it has only two plants in it at the moment but it can hold 6. a few clones are on the way :eyesmoke:

im new to this ebb N flow, my last grow was in a 5gal bucket DWC... i just like to build new set ups... ill probably have a new one next grow lol.

im in the veg stage(18/6). my lights turn on at 7am and off at 1am. i am using 5" square pots and i drilled some extra holes in them. they are filled with the expanded clay pellets.

also when the water pump turns on i have a duel hose air pump with two air stones in the flood table for extra oxygen.

my res is an 18 gal rubbermade tub. i fill it up with about 10 gal. and i have another air pump with two air stones constantly running to keep it fresh and to help out the benificial bacteria i put in there for the roots.

now for my flood times....

1.- on at 7:05 off at 7:15
2.-on at 11am off at 11:10
3.-on at 3pm off at 3:10
4.-on at 7pm off at 7:15
5.-on at 11pm off at 11:10

now my question is, are the times i have now good? i dont know much about the timing of the ebb N flow.

thanks for your help in advance!!!:bigjoint:

my pump turns on for 16 minutes every 4 hours with likes 24/0 in veg. im reading that it may be better to do 3-5 min pumps every hour of lights on but dont know if i want to change to that 3 months into veg :P
