Watering cycles need some advice!!!!!!

Hey all

We have been having problems with watering...

We are running a 20 bucket system, with the little girls going into rock wool cubes then into 17 ltr buckets.



We are using clay balls as our medium called hydrotron, they from Germany.

Have a 13ml top feed tube running around the reservoir bucket feeding two 13ml feeder hoses that run on to the girls then in to the top bucket that is sitting in the reservoir bucket.

Run the water system from to tanks that get pumps water through the system over the girls then back in to the tanks.

We are currently growing white rhino.

Have you heard of girls becoming susceptible to over watering?

We were watering every two hours last crop and over watered them and only realised when we were getting algae on the to and root rot.

Really don't want this to happen again!!!!!!!

Who else is using clay balls?

What are you watering cycles like?

Do you water on smaller cycles when the girls are smaller?

Please let me know as we about to put some more down and would love to have answer first!!!!!!!!

I would say 90% of the guys here who grow Hydroponically use Hydroton pebbles.Some Coco growers and some plain old drip the cube systems.Got to have them for a Bubbler system too(Aero).3 times a day for 15 min each cycle.Thats me.Peace.

cover the hydroten so light will not hit to avoid algie growth, i do aero so not sure about your water cycle. most ive read do 4 @15 min per day but i have no practicle knolidge on this...
