From what I understand this is general used as an aeroponics cloner. I have a 350 gph pump with some pvc attached with 12 mister heads. I run this 24/7 and put ply clones in 3 inch net pots with a little hydroton to hold them up and the roots grow out, I use this set up for the entirety of my veg cycle, and so far they seem to do amazing. The only problem I see is on a few, about 3 inches above the water ( they all hit the water at about 2 weeks) the roots twirl around like rope, fairly tightly, before spreading back out again. At this point the roots are no longer white but brown, and in one case almost black. I am not sure if this is root rot, or the roots choking themselves out. Even with this inch or two of bad looking roots right in the middle (below being white and healthy) the plants don't seem to be suffering at all, they are lush and green.
I was wondering if I put the pump on a timer, 15mins on/15 off (smallest denomination my timer goes) would it hurt them, the roots are 80% hanging in air with no medium, so no sure if this will dry them out.
ps if pictures are needed I can get some posted.
