There are so many options on how often to run the drippers that i'm very confused on what would be the most optimal setup >< ... anybody have any idea on how good perlite is at retaining water ? ...

any thoughts on running the drippers constantly ? ... i'm just really worried that the roots will dry out given neither hydroton or perlite are known for their water retention abilities.

Any experts willing to help this noob >< ?

Hello hydroponic veterans ^^ , i'm currently setting up a new system using drippers in a bucket with 50% perlite and 50% hydroton on the bottom. Its my first time using perlite and i'm not quite sure if i should run the drippers constantly or should i only turn them on couple times a day ...
