Top feed drip with Rockwool cubes, yay or nay?

[GotADAB305]

I was wondering if you should have a top feed system with Rockwool cubes.

I got some clones that came in about 3" cubes and am running a Bubbleponics set up.

Ok so you drip directly onto the Rockwool?

I thought I was suffocating them, not allowing anytime to dry

I never turn my pump off. I have 3 gallons of water in each 5 gallon bucket. The plants are in one gallon netted baskets. The roots hang down with a/b nutrients slowly dripped over them and it has run the entire grow. But I'm using a CMH light... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw06bT0BZn1nEVKbw-OpSNqr

What size Rockwool cubes do you use? Mine are the size that projectnfo has in his pic.

I thought they were drowning as I have been having some problems.

But I think it was due to the temperature of the water and the PH as well.

And does it make a difference what light you use? For the constant drip?

Top fed, growth is rapid when it's dialed in been my favourite way

Yea, that's what I'm doing. But I have them in like 4" Rockwool cubes under the hydroton, so I didn't know if that would soak the Rockwool too mucb

If you look on YouTube guys grow in rockwool only

No that sounds sufficient. If your pump is too strong or ur lines r too short may cause a rise in pressure or a flooding effect
